    Hi James,

    You could possibly be spending money to lose it! People pay for character homes (depending on the suburb). If the cornices etc are in good condition, don't pull them out!!! With the timber you may also be talking about a picture rail? About 3/4 of the way up the wall and this is a character feature as well! What suburb are you in and do you know the age of the house?

    Hi Dan,

    I'm in Perth and the only suburb you will find what I think your after is in Armadale (from the ones you have listed). If you want to build a duplex the new estates won't have big enough blocks at all, they have already been subdivided down for first home buyers etc to build on. You will need to look in more established areas with the right zoning.

    Thanks,

    Kate

    Hi,

    Not sure on the cost, but make sure you check that the stumps have not been damaged – this will be what costs you the most!

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    I can recommend Heidi Hunter Settlements for a conveyancer and I've used both Archicentre and Resicert for building inspections and both were great.

    Thanks,

    Kate

    Thanks everyone,

    I definitely think she is bluffing as she has said she showed two people through today and are expecting their offers this afternoon so no offers as yet.

    Glad I called her bluff!

    Ha! She sounds like the sort!

    She has just sent me another email to try and guilt me into signing it – but I have let her know I am sticking with my offer and if the seller would like to negotiate as per a normal offer I am more than happy to.

    Will see how we go.

    Thanks Joe,

    That makes me feel better! I'm not going to sign the form! Agents are so slimy!!

    HI Jye & Tahnee,

    My partner and I have just bought a property to renovate and subdivide and sell in Bassendean – where are you looking?

    I have a feeling the price is going up this year…..and I'm pretty sure he is offering the course material without the certificate or support for about $1k

    HI Mike & Cara,

    I am currently doing the course and the amount and depth of the information is incredible! It goes through everything you need to know including the due diligence process, structuring, how to deal with agents etc.I would recommend the course to anyone.

    Kate :)

    Hi Guys,

    We bought a property sight unseen – we had the building inspector take lots of photos for us and gave us a very detailed report. He gave us a lot of confidence that everything was fine and everything that wasn't we were able to negotiate the price down :)

    Thanks Terry,

    The idea of using a company as a beneficiary and lending back to the trust is someone we would would as all our profits will be going into more deals! I am trying to find a good accountant at the moment – if anyone can recommend one in Perth that would be much appreciated!

     

    Thanks,

    Kate

    Thanks Jamie,

    We are in Perth. We did have a good accountant but they are screwing us around at the moment so need to find a new one!

    Thanks Guys,

    Scott no mates – this is exactly our situation, although I don't earn in the highest tax bracket the development we are looking at doing will definitely get me there and my partner pays the highest rate so trying to work out if there is actually any point to buy in a trust.
