l’ve had two this year alone so far . l’m not a big shot, just starting out really over this past few years so l need any leverage l can get but.
Ones been taken off the market now , l really wanna talk to the owner of that one . l sat back on it in the end because it was way over priced . l’m not sure where the legals stand on that though. l…[Read more]

Thanks Bam.
Hey l’m wondering . So what do you find is the attitude of the solicitor when they get it , and then the vendor ?

Bam.

PS , l have approached a few owners in the past . Found some are fine or even don’t really like the real estate path anyway , others have given me the look and sent me packing , back to the agent.

bam bam…[Read more]

Yeah see this is my point Tammy. You do get attitude from some agents . l don’t know where it comes from or whether they’re worried about getting their fee or what. Sorry once again to any agents , you can’t be responsible for others though so don’t worry about it.
But even in allot of the corses , they advise to find agents that will work with…[Read more]

Sorry Jon .
You have higher standards than some then l guess, good to see , sorry to offend.
l have seen this question though and similar asked here and allot of other places dozens of times l’m afraid because Moose is right .
Some Agents will act like that , l’ve had them not pass offers on . Unfortunately one in paticular that would have changed…[Read more]

Thanks black tulip.
Ooooo that must have hurt .
Murhpy’s law really worries me on this one too.
Made up my mind . Once a cheque comes in l’m expecting in two wks or so – l can wait no more.
Cheers.
PS. Yep l really think if your not enjoying insanity you should atleast be pleading it !

Hey Rudolph .
So you think it’s a good idea laying out price factors then, there’s allot of points showing it’s way too high.
lt is abit sooner than l’d like to but would suit us right now , l’d really prefer to let reality hit the owner first though to be honest. l don’t know if that really matters though.
l haven’t spoken to the real estate yet…[Read more]

Ahh – Cairns , you sweat too much . There’s a property tip for ya .

No l’ve noticed there’s allot of wrappers up there , seems to be squeezing things abit . Just an observation really.

Cheers

Hey Beck.
l can’t preach as yet but for me personally !
l’m the sort of person with a mind that runs faster than it should, so if l see something of interest , it’s off . Bad move !
Check it all out first – then if all is well and things stack up – go off until your hearts content .
Be careful with doing too much on a long settlement before it…[Read more]

Thanks LA .
Dunno much about Warrn’ itself , prices seem to be coming down abit lately though . l’ve just seen a few deals lately that look like great potential .
Sth coastal below though and down to Apollo Bay and anywhere inland and back up again , some of the prices their asking !
Fair enough talking The Great Ocean Road coast wise but it is a…[Read more]

Hi Beck
l’m no expert as yet but have paid the price a couple of times now for being too slack in the old D D department .
So as boring as it is , l decided it has to be done and just this week saved myself some ‘ huge’ drama’s, talking huge , just by going back one last time .
Gonna try as hard as it is to make it a golden rule from now on.

Cheers

Thanks very much for that info .

Just deciding if l should keep what cash l’ve got left handy instead for the main thing happening later in yr just incase .
A very tempting buy has popped up in the meantime.

Cheers

Hey Kim .
Dunno about the financing but why don’t you just draw up a rough idea of what you want and get rough quotes from that.
That will soon find you the best priced builder . Once you’ve found someone good they will often know all the council crap, fees, traps , help you cut through the chase heaps, design tips, savings the lot. .

I had friends that bought a flat in airlie beach 5yrs ago for 75 , sold it 12 mths later for 150 , bought another one for 160 and sold that 18 mths later for 300 . Couldn’t believe it.
Ofcause that was at peak boom but i never would have thought untis or flats could have done that .
Then again I dunno how much weight that carries because I guess…[Read more]

Oh forsure , look at Bond his back up there again .
Been there myself once or twice too , mostly self inflicted mind you due to 10 yrs of travelling and too many sunny beaches instead buying a house like everyone else .

l think they’re everywhere but then l do look for what most think are weird combo’s .
What l’ve done with the only two l have now, one’s my own place, is always look for stuff with 3 or 4 options. Land, extra buildings , subdivide potential anything you might be able to turn into an extra rental , 2 even , divide up – build extra on , sell off…[Read more]

People actually offer them for free in the papers if your in the right place at the right time .
The removing and relocations the killer but l have two friends that both did it for 30 and 50,000 .
Personally l think the 50,000 one should have built a new one for what he ended up with though , the other one was very nice considering.
Cheers.

Thanks for those and the link Terry.
