Mr PIn simple terms you would enter into an Option with the Seller which gives you the right but not the obligation to execute an contract down the track.

Mountains out of mole hills.The fact is when you buy a property you only buy what is on the surface. For example. if you were digging in your backyard to maybe put in a swimmingpool or a bore ect. and found gold or oil or any other natural resource the government would have the right to claim that as their own. (If you were smart enough to tell…[Read more]

it depends what the houses are like in the first place.they already know what it was like when you bought it.So appart from market appreciation try adding things like air-con, patios, new paintto a lesser degree gardensthese things dont cost to much to do but can add alot more in percieved value

in QLD you can make multiple offers but if they are accepted you can not pull out unless you use the cooling off period which will incurr a .25% of the total purchase price penalty. If your looking at 10 properties thats alot of bread

CRASHY_It occured to me that house price growth has been outperforming wage growth for quite a few years. The only industry benefiting from this is Real Estate agents. House prices have doubled in the last 5-6 yrs and average wage growth is around 10% over that period. Agent commissions are directly linked to house prices which means their wage…[Read more]
