Welcome to the forum, i just seen your post and will answer your question shortly, firstly, you dont need to buy the realestate to sell the deal on to some one else.
What some spotter or finders agents have been able to do, is setup an agreement in such as in a contract, were the agent gives you the right to sell the property on the behalf of them and on the vendor.
Such things in the agreement can include, specific dates to when the property will be fortfeit back to the agent as a listing if the spotter is unsuccessful, the agreement will also stipulate that the agent cannot sell the property to another person, or some one who shows interest.
This protects both parties who are trying to sell the property for the vendor. Though in most cases, as part of the agreement, if the spotter is successful in selling the property to an interest person or party, then it will be stipulated in the contract in most cases that a small finders fee must be paid out, to such persons or acting persons.
just becareful on caculation yeilds, as they dont give a true return on a property. Much more effective ways of finding out current returns is by either caculating the CoCR or IRR. I much prefer the IRR, though caculating returns becomes iffy if you are also purchasing -ve geared properties for quick capital gains.
This might be important to you, as your a newbie on here, but knowing what the yeild on a particular property is not that quite importan, as it does not give a clear idea of what the exact cash return is, this is also the same for CoCR, if you want a true but more accurate return, you should be working out your IRR as this gives a much more clearer indication, and of what the property can expect in the few new years of what new true returns will be achieved.
Though if you are looking for problems, you must create the solution… and this is what brings financail success and seperates you as an individual from others.
lol, dont worry taking that all into consideration, though if you click on my signature, i have it linked out to a website that caculates, when you will become a millionaire, at how many consistent dollars you save and at an applicable interest rate return. though it does not take inflation into consideration.
lol, i noticed that earlier, but thought that was an error, lol… oh well how are we going to tell the difference, if either one of the tools dont want to change their nick names?…. lol
i use a strategy called “Offset Gearing”, and at the begining of this yeah i held 2 jobs and worked 7 days for about 6 months, while doing uni,
since about aged 13 ive always had a job were i work most afternoons and mornings before school and on the weekends, been saving and investing my earnings since then.
look forward to telling my boss in very early February 2004, that i no longer need to work 5 days aweek, and watching his face as i begin to only work 4 days at week, yet he is almost 61 years of age, and works 6 days a week and thinks he knows everything about money, yet by the looks of things, i cant see how he can retire.
Still own 11 properties, was going to purchase another 4, though instead i provide the full finance and equity to some one else, currently in the midst of also purchasing another 6 properties, with 3 being for myself and the other 3 being fully 100% financed again, but for someone who again is very close to me.
Techniqually, would own 21 properties in 10 months but due to helping some people and providing the full finance and equity out of my properties, will be just on 14 in about a weeks time.
cheers guys, still 21 and still in school.
s.i.s
ps. failed highschool and failed uni, and going to tafe in the new year.
