    I would ask why he knocked back 210k and when? Its quite fair to say he is asking way to much, would that be fair Mr REA?

    Leave him the slip of paper with 170k on it and tell him to call me when you need a commission.

    Heres a banana you monkey, I will see you at the zoo…………

    Whenever I get hit with an open ended question I hit back with the best line of all, “Obviously you have a reason for asking that question, would you mind sharing it with me”?

    The last REA that asked me a stupid question copped that one and didn’t he end up looking like a monkey in a suit!

    But getting back to it I must agree Marky, some of these guys are that good you cant tell if there full of it. That’s the job criteria Im afraid “Sales” The art of selling yourself.

    A good way to spot a stiff is direct eye contact when asking, or receiving an answer. If the eyes remain in contact with yours with out a blink or turn of the head you are pretty well safe with the answer, you have to be good to pull the sincerity off like that. Its not fool proof all the time but its as close to a lie detector as you can get. If they leave the sunnies on then you know its crooked[shades]

    There are a few good books around on body language and I think it should be included as another tool for success in property.[thumbsupanim]

    I call it “Chicken” to scared to put your ballz on the line and have a go, plain and simple.

    How much time do you need to make a decision? Well i guess that all depends upon the size of money to be won or lost doesn’t it? The neg’s v’s the pos’s? Fear of getting hurt and all that jazz, its the old sounds you hear in your head echoing from child hood “dont do this and dont do that”.[baaa]

    Just do it![biggrin]

    There are a few more factors you should share with us about this property. How much is it, what would it rent for etc???

We would agree that the tenant has use of the land, can run a few cattle, but also keep an eye on the place as sort of caretaker as there can be vandalism and cattle duffing. You would have to be sure there was water, either creeks or dams, taking into account drought and grasshopper plagues as is currently the case in some areas.

    Thats not a huge return on a 195k outlay, I thank you for your words of wisdom Anna and I spent 2 hours at the carwash getting the grasshoppers out from the grill[blink]

    Its like the old saying my freind, “You only get what you pay for”

    The dodgy cheap stuff isn’t always up to scratch, I suggest you join Choice Magazine for all the goss on anything to do with product purchases, good money spent.[thumbsup2]

    You also have the likes of Coles and Woolies investing some big bucks with their upgrades and so-on, that is another good indicator of growth potential for country area’s.

    Anywhere from 2500 to 5000k and even more depending on how fussy a job you want and what quality paint to be used. Dont get sucked in by the no-name paint in the Dulux tin either[blink]

    One other point to remember as well guys, I cant say there has ever been a time when buying your own home was so far out of reach in Sydney metro, I just came back from mid NSW and could not remember a time when I have seen so many new house’s going up.

    Yeah maybe a lot of the towns are around 7000 to 30000 plus pops but the march is on. There are many people swapping there 500k loans for full cash down purchases and getting the mortgage monkey off their backs, hell, we are doing the same. Nice little business, no loan, new house and plenty of cf+ joints surrounding you to divy dally in.

    I feel its hard to make predictions given the current climate and you cant say there has ever been a time in history that has stayed the same, every new day is a different day. I can already see the effect that Guys like Steve and fellow investors have had on the regional area’s.

    For eg, best place to find out about the market in small towns has got to be the pub! Young bloke tells me about his older brother, he buys a 3 bedda in a 10000 pop town for 28k one and a half years ago, just sold 2 weeks ago for 98k!!!

    We are our own worst enemy! Theres a huge influx of city folk jumpin on anything thats even close to equal! Well perhaps maybe different in other states i dont know but regional NSW is up there.

    I found heaps of cf+ joints in 500 to 2000 pop towns but hard to get PM’s and then there is the drought that’s knocked it hard, theres also around a -7% population growth on average and a lot worse in other area’s.

    Anyway, the point I am trying to make is that these 7000 to 30000 pop towns will start seeing good pop growth over the next ten years. Look at the children of home owners around Bondi, manly, harboard to name a few, where did they buy? Western suburbs, why? because they could not afford to live next door to mum and dad, the same go’s now, except with cheap airfares and the likes makes these regional towns not as far away as they used to be.

    A few more media stories promoting the sense of making the move and a reality tv show and its all over!

    Anyway, that’s life have a good one gang[strum][strum]

    Ohhhhhhhhh Chill out dudes………….If you react, they win. It does not matter what anyone says, if they call you names or whatever, if you take the crap on board you give in.

    Personally I feel that a lot of people are taking this all to seriously, including Stevo. Its just a web based forum and I find it all very educational, financially rewarding and amusing all at once.

    Yellow card green card shmeen card dohh, the charity bit? Well I dont see how you need to abuse someone on this forum to become a charitable person, we should all be giving rightnow dont you think?

    :-)
