Rod, you forgot the largest TAFE in Australia outside a capital city, the expansion plan for a full-blown university and the lifestyle options at Geraldton as well. Howing commission clusters are being disbursed and the area is a very popular fishing area and the main stop point to check out the dolphins further north. In fact, it services all areas to the North as it is the last major city on the West Coast heading North.
It has loads of upside available and I have yet to find substantial downside.
TRAIN as well… that leaves lifestyle for Mandurah.
PS: Mandurah is a lot colder in winter. Retirees don’t like that!

But you are all focusing on Mandurah!
I had clients buy there over a year ago. It is no longer a gold mine. It is old news!

Ring the Agents principal and explain your concerns. If they are stuck on this contract requirement, just say goodbye and contact the owner directy and tell them what happened.

Go to http://www.paypal.com and have a look around. That is a single account accessible for all countries for those who operate online. They also have the ability to open a standard US Account for non-residents.
Or you could try these dodgy people…

You are joking right????
Try throwing a racial slur at someone in front of a police officer or, better still, use vulgarities in front of a police officer. We still have the offence called ‘Offensive Language’ and it is often used!
I guess we have freedom of speech as long as we say what we are allowed to say! Hmmmmmmmmmmmm…
Freedom of thought is something everyone in the world has. Just don’t let people know what you are thinking and you will be fine!
Ability to openly question results in an adverse reaction by the herd. Look at what happened to Hinch when he questioned how Kennedy died!!! He was forced to apologise. There goes that theory!!!
And lastly the freedom to protest… YEAH, if you have a permit!!!
Come on Pelican, no-one is truly free anywhere in the world. We just don’t get shot for saying or doing something considered ‘wrong’ but there are always repurcussions.

The downside of partnerships is that everyone will never agree on all points.
Make sure that you write down the ins and outs of investing within the partnership or, if joining one, make sure you are content with their terms.
You may not be able to recover funds in a hurry if you need them or will face problems if someone else needs out.
Liability for the action of others could also pose a problem!

Most tenants will be very nice about it. After all, if they are happy with where they live, they will want to stay there. There may be some concern about an owner occupier buying the place but you should asure them that you will let them know with plenty of time to get themselves sorted out.

The agent will still be able to claim their commission though Terry as they were introduced to the property by the Agent.

The general consensus is also important. This is where the media is important. People like dmichie love the doom and gloom stories and will go to great lengths to promote them. It helps their cause of purchasing cheaper property.
If you discard general public opinion and only focus on the individual property, you could quickly get into trouble.
An example of this is recent media stories about low lying coastal areas not being as popular as they used to be following the recent Tsunami. This will not show up in any due dilligence that did not look at public consensus.

Sounds like the Agent is trying to sucker punch you. I would not make an offer on the contract of a property I have not seen. Just writing it down on paper and signing this is a suitable offer.
If you do it on the contract, the vendor can then sign it and you will be bound. It is a recipe for disaster unless you are certain you want to purchase at the price you offer.
I would also include an expiry date for the offer if submitting it on the contract.

Scenarios should always be asked seperately. There is too much variation when considering an individuals own circumstances. There is no single answer that applies to all.

Terry, your tune regarding LOCs has changed a lot in recent months. I am impressed!!!
I don’t know I would say there is only one way to pay a loan off quicker though. Some restructuring or addition of particular features can really have an impact without the need for more money. Things like adding an offset account, as you mentioned, or changing the way you pay your bills or receive your income would certainly help. Even the ATO Form 1515 would hav a good impact.

Property contracts must be written to be enforceable. Plant and Equipment has such a wide-ranging definition. I think the pump will be included but believe it will come down to whether or not it is essential to the overall viability of the property. It sounds to me like it would be so the purchaser would have agreed to the purchase based on the inclusion of the pump.
In my mind, it equates to a vendor taking a spa bath out of a residential property after the purchaser has seen it and agreed to the purchase.
It is between the vendor and their solicitor (whoever prepared the contract of sale) as far as I am concerned. It has nothing to do with the Agent. They do not prepare contracts. They just sell property and have the contracts signed.

What experience would that be?
Any course that relates to a particular field is looked on favouably by an employer. Also, many courses are looked on favourably just because they show committment to education and self-improvement.
Why would you not do courses to gain a professional advantage? It is exactly why most people do them!
