Also like alot of times in business you need to remind yourself that a business is made of people, and with a large corporation you may hit a roadblock simply by speaking to someone who is technically correct, but unhelpfull or lacking in knowledge about what they can do for you.Try getting a meeting with a branch manager, if they are not helpful…[Read more]

I am in the same position, but i take the view that while i save i can investigate, read , learn and ask so that when i have the hard cash to put down im not taking a gamble.depending on your entry level, personal loans, private lenders or credit may be an option.. it will factor heavily against long term profitability but will allow the building…[Read more]

Treat any and all advice from Centrelink as if it was a beaker of acid: fragile at best and likely to burn you either way.A lot of their stuff is means tested and they tend to expect you to sell any assetts you have to finance yourself (great way of getting people off welfare yeah ?) Might be worth looking at setting up an ABN or LLC and get legal…[Read more]

The reason Flippers do this is there is a large element of risk in flipping, time is literally money and you need to find a buyer quickly.If you can get an almost guarenteed buyer before trying to flip a place why wouldnt you ? you know what a guy who sells to the realestate agents on a large scale is called… a wholesaler.If the agent can then…[Read more]
