Hi Dosser,

I’ve been on holidays for the week, so haven’t been able to get near the www.

Tax Lawyers – yeah – ditto from what the others say. I hear David Abrahm (CPA – Adelaide) is good and understands what we are on about. E-mail me for details or look it up in the whitepages.

BTW – Seacombe Gardens – are your townhouses the ones on Seacombe…[Read more]

Hi Ms Elvis, wander over to:

http://www.reisa.com.au and click on General info. This lists median prices. Also try this link:

Make sure you past the whole link… or you’ll miss out.

Good luck, have fun.

Hi Caz,

just been thinking about your statement. I attended a presentaiton by Russell Woodrow a couple of weeks ago (http://www.woodrowandassociates.com/index.html). He mentioned that property and shares (ie most super funds) work in cylces. That is, when shares are down, property tends to head to up, etc etc.

I’ve sat down with him a couple of…[Read more]

Hi Folks,

agree with your comments. I’ve been looking at contact management tools recently (as opposed to property management)

I’m looking for something that will help me manage my list of contacts but also allows me to attach files ie Letters and faxes that I send, and makes notes of telephone conversatione etc.

Act! is something that looks…[Read more]

Hi Xenia!

I have a meeting with pierie executive services on the 24 July. I’ll let you know how we fare….

Can’t remember who it’s with at the mo. Haven’t got my diary.

Look forwarding to hearing what you think!

Cheers, Marco

Hi there,

My understanding is the following:

if you are payg then you… pay as you go…
Otherwise you can defer it to the end of the year – but check with your CPA.

To put it in Kiyosaki terms – get on the right hand side of the quadrant asap.

Have a great day!

(Oh – I really enjoy reading your posts! Keep them coming!)

Marco

Hi Xenia,

Yes there are Adelaide people here <grin>
I posted much the same question some time back and got stumped as well. It doesn’t surprise me that nobody answered. Probably the thing holding people back from answering your request is due to one of the following:

A) The size of Adelaide’s corporate sector. It’s small compared to the other…[Read more]

What a great idea this is! Thanks Leigh.

Marco here, just doing my daily surf through the forum. My wife and I live in Adelaide with our 9mo son.

Been researching and setting things up for a little over 18mo and thoroughly enjoying it. I work for a company that helps people with their personal finances, budgeting etc. Very rewarding when you see…[Read more]

Hi there Gaijin

I’m in Adelaide, happy to chat. E-mail me if you like – wenzel@mbox.com.au

Hi Jason

I use Leigh Lockwood. His mobile number is 0414-880-887. He understands the peculiarities of SA WRAPS.

Have a good one!

Marco

Hi Gatbe7,

I always allow 5% of the contract (my) price. That’s the short answer, but someone else may expand on it.

Marco

Hi f_j_o,

I’m more interested in who the loan is underwritten by than who’s logo is on the paperwork.

Keep on doing what you’re doing!

Marco

Hi there jasontang888,

Are you aware of the legal intricacies in SA? You can’t do a straight vendor finance, so you probably need to get a contract drawn up for a Lease option.

Cheers,

Marco

Hi TheGill_1963,

I used homeside last week. No problems from a borrowers point of view.

Cheers,

Marco

Goodness, either there is nobody here from Adelaide or there aren’t any local Solicitors in this state.

Any takers?

PS – I used Geoffrey Adams.

Kind Regards,

Marco

Fullout,

don’t know if it will work, nor am I aware of the legal side of things but here we go:
What about a double closure?

Keep on doing what you’re doing!

Marco

hwd007,

It’s best that you find your own, build the relationship etc. However – one of the agents I have found to be very honest is Ray White, Brighton (SA). All the people at this office are good, however Leigh Lockwood is the person I deal with the most. His mobile number is 0414-880-887.

Keep on doing what you’re doing!

Marco

Hello all,

It comes down to finding somebody with integrity. Avoiding the agents that tell you they have integrity is a good start.

If the agent smells… don’t deal with them. Find somebody else

Marco

Hi Vinh,

We already knew several agents through other things, so had a fair idea of how they operated. In other areas we are now developing relationships with the”unknown quantity” <grin>.

This takes time – which is the best thing that I can offer you (& lots of coffee!). I would call this strategy “Relationship Marketing”

What sort of…[Read more]
