Well nice to see property investors are in tune with the environment and seek to keep their pursuits environmentally sustainable… We are sure to choke on our own pollution in the next 30 years the rate we’re going at!

Dazzling… no need to remove your post, always good to hear someone elses view on the topic.

1975 to 2005… Rise or drop in the world’s major natural disasters? Causes?

Good to see others on the road to a sustainable future… to an extent anyway.
We are with ‘JackGreen’ who don’t charge any joining fees or premiums to replenish the grid with 100% renewable energy.

But would you?
Knowing what we know about the greenhouse effect, global warming and the works, and that Australia has one of the worlds highest carbon emission rates…
Would you help stop that by swapping electricity providers, from fossil fuel methods to 100% renewable energy methods (such as wind farms and low impact hydro)?

Just dropping a line so topic stays active and everyone has a chance of viewing. I know it ain’t property related but a good cause and effort it is I’d say.

Thanks Grossrealisation – great tips.
Hmackay, I did a search on the web and found it.
for others interested in is:
thanks for all your help.
Blue Ship [hair2]Good idea Mathewc73.
I’ve also just spoken to rates dept in local council.
Was advised that if I write a note to the owner I can send it in to the council they will forward it to the owner (after reading it first to ensure contents are not inapropriate).
Then it is up to the owner (or person who opens owners mail) to decide if they wish to respond back to me.
Great post Dazzling.
My deal is tiny compared to yours. But a deal is a deal.
I am working on a land banking opportunity myself, but no rental just land.
its a tiny bit of dirt worth around $50K.
Its an exercise in seeing how cheaply I can get it given the vendor is out of town. Buying is a lot of fun in this market.
Any one else?
would any tenant want to live through a renovation?
consider booking trades people in advance of vacancy to do the work just as one tenant moves out.
Hi Richard
Sadly I can’t – firstly it’s a template which the website provides but also once we got the deal signed up I deleted it and can’t retrieve it. The ad I ran in the paper (where we got the most enquiries) read something like,
“Rent-to-own, 4 bdrm home South City, perm mat, family sized section. $240 pw. Ph….”
Cheers for now
AnneThank you for the nice reply. Us kiwis kind of have this thing where you don’t go round telling everyone how much money you have. So it’s a bit of a novelty to be able to share!
The property had been tenanted to some pretty dodgy people, by the sounds of things, and the vendor (an out of town person), just wanted rid of it. The tenants had refused to let the agent through with any buyers, so we were the lucky ones to view it the day they moved out. I guess the most important thing I’d done was a “QV E-valuer” report (www.qvonline.co.nz) which gave me an indication of market value, and I offered about ten thousand less than that. Offer was unconditional. After some offering and counter-offering we agreed on $120k. (QV report said $128-138). Valuer’s report put it at $135k.
Don and Liz, this is the property in Drury Lane, Grasmere.
Cheers all
AnneYes, thanks guys, it has. We have a lease option on it with a lovely young lady who is currently paying $200pw rent (the av. for the area is $180) plus $40pw towards purchase price. We ended up having 3 genuine applicants who passed credit checks.
In the finish, the reply came from placing a small classified ad in the local paper!
Cheers
Annethanks all for your help.[biggrin]

I might also add that a new indoor cycling stadium is being built. This stadium is identical to the Olympic stadium in Beijing. It’s the only one of its kind in NZ (and possibly Australasia, although someone might correct me on this!)
Cheers
Hi guys
We have recently purchased 2 rental properties in Invercargill. One is in Janet Street, South City. We rented this out to a lovely single mum for $200pw. The other is in Drury Lane, opp the railway line. The new tenants are moving in this week, paying $220pw.
So even though there are vacant properties there at the moment, most of them are the “old dumps”. I have long held the opinion that if you keep your rentals looking nice and repair things instantly, you’ll always find a tenant.Cheers for now
AnneOriginally posted by Dazzling:I would of placed the $1miLL on Makaybe Diva at odds of $4.Invested $1miLL : Returned $4miLL : Profit $3miLL
My mother used to say “woulda coulda shoulda….but didn’t”.
I note that you put your profession down as a professional gambler, although your post is dated 2 days after the big race. This post event gambling must be a lucrative business I imagine.
I think the mare’s name is spelt Makybe Diva.
Dazzling,
My mother always said, well I was never listening so nut much to say there.
If your analysys was thorough, then let’s look at the original post with ‘IF’ being the key word… no?
Seeing as I did reply after the race, ‘WOULD’ seemed appropriate instead of ‘DID’ eventhough there was no ‘$1M’.
And your right but if you have a look, MakAYBE Diva seemed appropriate as it ‘WOULD’ of been speculative in nature.
You might know your way around in the investment world and you may post many replies, some worthwhile reading, but most of the time I’d say your on an ego trip. Get of your high horse mate and get over analysing every little detail that people post especially something as trivial as my post that needs no analysing. Makybe Diva ‘DID’ win, but no I ‘WASN’T’ the ‘1M’ mystery punter.
