Getting personal recommendations is always a good idea as well.I agree with all the content in your post FinSpec. Thanks for the advise. Do you have any you can recommend?
shakenbake wrote:Why do you feel the need to use a buyers agent?Yeah, I was just looking at this as a way of solving the problem posted in the other post i.e. losing gvt housing if I buy locally. With most places being that far apart from each other I think I will have to scout around for someone to do the due diligence for me. If I didn't have limitations in investing locally I wouldn't have considered this. On the other hand I will need to gain the skill of finding good deals so if I find any locally, I will sell them on to uninhibited investors. Actually looking at this from another angle this may fund part of the buyers agent fees.

I see this was dated ages ago. We are in the same boat as you. Did you find the owner-builders course and how did you go getting started?
RachelI am also in the same boat I have googled and found this
http://www.ownerbuilding.com.au A lot more came up. I think I will go for these. Having migrated from the UK I am a newbie to the whole system. I have read Steve's book thanks to a fellow POM and I will be going to the seminar in Perth. So if you find anything that can be of help please feel free to pass it on. I will do like wise.
