Hey jars, did you see this thread?

Hi there,

Verr-ee- interesting point made by those ‘anti-wrapping’ articles.

As an investor who is still sitting on the fence as to whether I want to get involved in wraps and sell houses to people that other lenders would call ‘bad credit risks’ – and notwithstanding that I could be one myself – I had not considered before reading this article…[Read more]

I once said ‘I know what the list price is but what is the real price?” to an agent.
(Nowadays I always say that!)

Anyway, the first time, RE agent said ‘I know the vendor wants at least
X amount (naming a figure which was 35 percent below the list price).
AHA! i thought!! Amazing the discount you can get just by asking.

The next day I phoned in…[Read more]

Yeah, a heaps interesting thread this one.
Firstly – yeah i remember on my Dolf de Roos tapes, he specifically warns people off Tasmania and Invercargill in NZ because of their declining population. However if 99 percent of people are running a mile from something and the house prices sink so cheap that someone says ….hey we can trade in our one…[Read more]

I looked into it a while back because I was thinking about it – not only is relocating very expensive for what you get, but subdivision is no bagatelle either.

it was cheaper to just buy another property on a larger piece of land, and let it sit there (or fence it if tenants don’t want to mow, or lend to the neighbourhood teenager with pony, etc…[Read more]

Hi David,
I agree with them but the reason I stood up for them is the original question was to find a buyer’s agent, and i think they would be a good option for NZ property because you can look what they have with no obligation. Re: valuation, I realise it is a very grey area, the thing you can check though to make sure the deal is a good one is…[Read more]

re: richmastery, one of the properties they’d tied up recently and were offering as a deal (for 2-3 K I think finder’s fee) was in NZ in a place called Putaruru. It was a unit, maybe a one-bedroom, but one of those low maintenance ones rented for somewhere around $100 per week. I think they had tied it up for $23K. I mean – it seemed like a good…[Read more]

Hi Steve, did you consider selling the tapes of the seminar with the notes as a stand-alone substitute for not having been able to make it, to offer people that missed out on the ‘live’ event?
I reckon you might have some takers i.e Jars’s post

Hi Sooshie and DavudU,

>64% increase in value on your reno!!! WOW!

yeah but like I said that was basically just adding the capital sunk into the renos into the purchasing price and adding 2K.
So really it sounds better than it is….but stilll…it feels real good….!!

>Those massages are great aren’t they!
Yeah – i think it was the world’s…[Read more]

minimogul here,

wonderful to meet you all. I have just started in property investing and am purchasing in NZ as it’s where i grew up, and i can’t afford Aussie yet, though I live in Sydney (I’m renting someone else’s negatively geared house in Paddington.! it’s a lovely light-filled cottage with a little garden area and i work at home so I am…[Read more]

Hi Everybody,

!!!back from Bali, wow what an amazing place.
’twas my first visit. Absolute paradise.

David – re:
>What does the RE agent think your reno did in terms of >increased valuation?
Well…hehe….I said ‘what do you think it would sell for if I put it on the market tomorrow? and he named a figure which was 64 percent higher than what i…[Read more]

Hi Sooshie, i can’t believe it but the gig is putting us up at the Intercontinental in Nusa Dua so I will be hanging with the
geriatrics! Seeing as I am stiff and sore all over after our four day miracle makeover I reckon I will fit right in….NOT!!!!!!!!

About the reno, gosh, it went really well. Almost like it was blessed. Problems were…[Read more]

richmastery.com
are deal spotters. They charge 3-5 k. Mainly in NZ. though fully legit. They run seminars, as well as publish (or are somehow involved with) the excellent Kiwi Property Investor magazine.
I know someone (my buddy from last year’s property masters) that purchased a property from them.
I think they tie up the house and flip it.

Hi, I would like to speak up in Dolf’s defence.
I have some of his products and i think they are excellent.

I started with Rich Dad poor Dad, then I went to see Robert Kiyosaki in person for one night, as well as Dolf de Roos, again for one night. i was really interested in going to the seminar but it cost an absolute fortune (thousands) and in…[Read more]

Ah, a subject close to my heart.

I agree with Jars. CDs are the go. Tapes sound terrible. Hissy.
I have a tape player but really it is just gathering dust on my rack.

troyhorse.com.au are really good for duplication or replication runs from 1 to 1000 Cds.

Hey AD, Hey Sooshie,

just wanted to let you know that I am going to NZ for four days tomorrow to do a light cosmetic reno on my cheapie IP with my boyfriend – should be fun!

And then on to Bali for a week.

!!!!!!!!!!

AD – you said in your email ‘you hope I had a day full of surprises’,

well i did: and it wasn’t just that telstra cable was…[Read more]

Hi everyone,
I just want to echo the sentiments of everyone and say that I had the best time. Last year I was probably the greenest person in the room – I hardly know anyone that owns their own home let alone investment properties. Last year everything was so full on that my brain used to hurt every night after the course. It probably took me 6…[Read more]

and me! and my dad who’s coming over from NZ!

Carparks in the CBD are 18 bucks an hour!!! I reckon it would be amazing to one day own a carparking building.
Wanna hear my prediction? I reckon it’s going to go the way that Japan is (eventually) which is automated car-stacking – it’s all about (of course) getting many more cars in to a space than in the traditional way. i reckon it’s a license…[Read more]
