I know Bear1964 is heavily involved with that market. Give him a PM and he should point you in the right direction.

It’s fun isn’t it?!!! Bit stressful at times though. How old are your children? I have 2, boy and girl, 1 and 4. Fun for all the family.
Sometimes I wish I had annual leave…..
Not too often though.

I have 1 child, a 9 month old boy. I know what you mean about annual leave!

I think they might be having a lend of you there. Try another few.
It is usually around 7 – 8% plus GST and 2 weeks rent for a 12 month tenant (1 week for 6 month). That is what I have encountered in NSW and QLD.

I think you are one of Chan$’s clones.
Come on, out yourself!
BTW, why are you so poor?
Is that because you have only 1 post to your name?

I don’t know your investment strategy Elves but I am guessing it doesn’t include too much under $200,000 (if you are in Syd or Mel). If you are only looking at things you like, you won’t get much positive cf property. But maybe that is your strategy. We have two higher priced properties bought for CG and both are very nice new apartments (or were when we bought them). We were looking for things that we liked too.
Now I believe that I am providing housing for a different market therefore what I like and what I am providing are two totally different things.

That’s a nice throw away line Se7en, but I don’t think you actually mean it do you.
I think you may be smarter than that, no infact I know you are smarter than that.

Back to Mark Webber racing horror.
Yesterday I heard from the news that Mark qualified first for the race (I think) at Bahrain, is it true?
Kind regards
Chan Dollars
[Retire Young, Retire Rich] [strum]Not quite correct Chan.
Mark Webber qualified second on Saturday for yesterday’s race in Sepang, Malaysia. He did not finish due to a number of problems with his car and a lapse in concentration by him. The next race is in Bahrain. Qualification for that event will be on the Saturday prior to the Sunday race.
Hope that helps

There is nothing wrong with submitting an offer way below the asking price. I usually try and find out from the agent what he thinks the vendor will take. If he says it probably isn’t negotiable, and it it is not overpriced, then I will seriously consider offering the asking price. Some properties have been priced to sell (ie. at the vendors bottom price) and it is pointless trying to negotiate if they HAVE to get a certain amount for the proerty. On the other hand, if I think it is overpriced, I have no problem low balling below even market price. It leaves you with room to negotiate up to what you are comfortable with.
I am negotiating on two at the moment. One I asked the agent(I know the agent pretty well and he will not mislead me) what the vendor would accept and offered that. I knew what the place was worth and was sure that the vendor and the agent would be happy with the price. It fits right into my portfolio perfectly with a 16% yield.
The other property I am still negotiating on and is a completely different story. The vendor wants much more than I am prepared to pay. The property is not in a good condition and is untenanted (it needs up to $10K of work to get it into a tenantable position). I have offered much lower than I know she wants as I know how much it will cost to fix. As there is no other people that are that interested in the property I am happy to hold out. I have budged only $1000 in three weeks and that was only after she budged first. If I don’t get the property it will only be if someone pays more than I am prepared too. As I have worked out the figures, I know what I can go to to make it +veCF. If I miss out, so be it – but I won’t increase my offer.
I guess what I am trying to say is offering on a property is not an exact science. There are so many factors to consider. If you think that the property is worth the asking price, don’t baulk at offering asking price because you can be darn sure someone else will. On the other hand, if it is clearly not worth it, submit what you are comfortable with leaving room for some negotiation.
If you have done sufficient homework on the area, you know what it’s worth. If you miss out – don’t concern yourself too much. It just means someone has paid too much for the property.

Originally posted by holels:Hi all,
I am new to the forums. I would like to know what sources you all use to find CF+ve properties. If I was to do a search on Domain.com, then I get the prices of all the properties on sale, but you cant find out returns unless you ring every agent for every property individually. How am I to easily seek out areas with high returns? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Other than scanning Domain.com, where else is a good place to look for properties?
Many thanks,
Hols.
Holly Elsworth
Wellcome to the forums Holly. I suggest you concentrate on a couple of areas at the beginning. Look for an area (via Internet) that yields are good and have potential. Then research the area (via Internet) to see where it is going. Once you have done that, you can hop in your car and visit the local agents to build up a rapport with them. If you try to look at the whole country or even the whole state you live in, it will seem a little overwhelming.
Trust your gut instincts on where you think you might find good properties.
If it was easy Holly, we would all be zillionaires by now!!!
Good luck in your searching.

I heard he had qualified 2nd and thought I would try and stay to watch the race. I watched the first half hour and was dissapointed for Mark. He just had no luck.
I hope he does better in Bahrain. It will really sort out the drivers there as no-one has driven on that track before. That will probably mean that MS will win again as he is easily the best driver running around. He can adapt to anything quicker that all other drivers.
Go Mark (who will be at Williams next year, me thinks)

Drove 800 – 900kms yesterday looking at 3 possible IP’s.
Long day and am rather tired this morning. Very succesful trip though.
Got heaps going on at the moment. Have 5 possible deals I am looking at.

I know its a bit late but well done PG.
Do you think Chan has killed off his chance of becoming a moderator now or can you put in a good word.

Good one Sis, I just checked she is on 999. Not ‘officially’ a platinum yet.
I have a ways to go though. Must think like Chan. He gets multiple posts in on all topics, even when he is telling Richmond to go jump!
That is a funny thread.
