How about by e-mail – when submitting a written offer, is it acceptable by e-mail?
If it is in writing, does the real estate agent have an obligation to present it to the vendor?

We live in Cairns and have enquired about sub-dividing a property. Yes, you do need to contact council – the town planning section. Approval will be subject to many things including zoning of other properties in the area, the masterplan for the suburb and impact.
If you live in Cairns I suggest you go into the council office, they are very helpful at the desk.
Good luck.
NatashaThanks all. I completely agree with your sentiments – I am not after the house for my inheritance. I hope we find a solution where they can go and enjoy their years and their money.
Spend up – thats what I would want to do in mid 70’s.
I have just found a web-site: http://www.seniorsloans.com.au and now understand what a reverse mortgage is. Has anyone had any experience in dealing with this company?
Thanks again,
Hey Guys,
It’s all about sex sells what they think is going to be attractive to the public. By putting some westies on the show who they know are going to fool around. Alot of today’s tv shows have the whole “sex sells” concept going. Im not saying the show isnt going to be interesting but think how the younger viewer’s are going to take to the fact that they are seeing these girls flaunt themselves all to get some guy to go to bed with them.Hey everyone,

With the second link have a read about the architect John Mainwaring.

this one might be alittle more informing.http://www.infolink.com.au/articles/1d/0c02831d.asp
here check out this link on environmental has some great infoHey, the best idea is to probably have alook around and go to architect, you’ll find it will be alittle more exspensive but worth every penny.
My parents house was designed by an architect from the north coast, and it really paid off. Plus you could also speak to and enviromental acrchitect they have some great ideas with how to be eco friendly.Thanks for the pointers… that was really quick!
Can you tell me, whats PPOR?
To answer your question Robert, an 8 hour day for me, ie at work, is in a nutshell this:
Working for someone else, earning for them, getting a token cut of what they earn, which will just manage to sustain my current lifestyle. It’s a hectic place, where it’s an “every man for himself” environment, and I have a day which is filled with stress, fatigue and at times, cynicism.
Thanks for the tips, I’m really amazed at how quick I got responses!

Steve spent sometime at the Sydney masterclass going through “at a high level” the benefits of setting up the compaany/trust hybrid solution.
He definitely gave use something to think about if we are planning to purchase several properties. Since then, we have spoken to our acccountant and they have informed us, that for our goals and situation, this is a positive option for us.
So, like everyone else says – speak to your accountant, but rest assured that Steve does spend the time spekaing specifically about it.
Hope that helps,Thanks for your assistance and information.
Regards,Im with Jel08 and Chally – that was my understanding re: the implications of the Yield ratio’s. I sat down yesterday and went over the case studies, and whilst I get the calculations, what I don’t get is this…..
Up until now, through Steve’s 2 books I understood the Yield scenario to be be: “The higher the Yield, the better opportunity for positive cashflow”. To me, what he showed us is now the opposite and low Yields, drive up property prices. Im sure its not that simple and Im still working it through.
I do get it, but it’s just a change in my mindset of the need for improving Yields vs now, looking for lower Yields.Hi there,
Would be really keen to know if this is still happening? How did the initial meeting go?
My wife and I have a unit in Armadale, yet we are currently living in Sydney. In mid July, we move back to Melb, so we would be really keen to hear if you guys are still meeting up. If so,we’d really like to start attending.
We just attended our 1st Masterclass yesterday in Sydney. Had a great day and are really motivated to build our portfolio when we get back to Melb.
Cheers,Hi Liz,
I was there. Here is my outake and some of my notes:
– If you have losses in your current portfolio, then fix it…fast! This all com under the concept of maximising your moneyThe big comment that Steve made that hit home to me re: selling, was the following 3 points:
1. Pay The Tax
2. Bank The Profit
3. Buy MoreBased on yesterdays session, my wife and I have devised a Sell solution for a poorly performing property we have in Melbourne.
Hope this is of use to you.
Regards,
BruceI am on a Body Corporate committe and we are currently seeking feedback from tenants about the idea of installing cable (Foxtel / Broadband internet) into the block.
Initial indications suggest that the costs are not that high (all financials currently being confirmed) but if this is the case, then this potentially is another idea worth considering that could drive a higher rental Yield.
The idea has much more merit these days given the downward trends in the monthly access prices and specials that you see for Foxtel & Broadband etc.
Cheers,Thanks for the replies.
Kerwyn – in the nicest possible way, I disagree with you. There are good deals to be had in many places, including Aus if you can buy at the right price. And that is down to negotiation skills mostly. I have some deals in Aus that I can walk into now (if I can get the overseas issue sorted) and the returns are greater than some in the UK and US (my husband is from the US so we are abreast of the situation there). We buy around the world depending on individual deals. I don’t think it is sensible to give up on a country just because it is a bit tougher at a particular time to get the right deal. Keep looking and I hope it goes wellFrom a couple of reno contacts,what makes it worth while and quick to rent is if you have a good kitchen and bathroom,the female will always look at those two things first and more than likley be the decider maker as well.
Go Luck
