Hi Rajs…..what makes a good investment to you? Capital gains? Rental yeild? What area are you looking at? What are your goals? Borrowing capacity? Risk tolerance?The more information you provide the more specifically this community can help :-)

what are the details on the property – there maybe a reader here interested?

Hi Aaron,
welcome to the forum….the guys have all made good points…..I can give a biased view of buyer’s agents (because I am one >> http://www.perthpropertyhunter.com.au << shameless plug!)…I think if you are short on time or knowledge they are worth every dollar they charge (as this is justified by many hours saved and a cheaper property than otherwise for example my latest client has just got a 4 bedroom home
in Perth’s northern suburbs for a steal…after a straight forward 10k reno 10k he will have boosted the value by another 50k), and also they
only get paid if they get you a result.
All that said do you need a buyer’s agent? No. You can arm yourself with help from the amazing people in this an other property forums,
read great books (search for relevant posts on that topic) and find, research and negotiate a good deal. I suggest you decide your goals and area you wish to buy in (and become an expert on it – view home opens, talk to agents, walk the streets etc). Someone very wise said no one cares more about your money than you do. Good luck with your journey, Gavin
