    i rang up the council to enquire about what the minimum street frontage has to be for each of the dwellings and was directed to their town planning scheme which mentions nothing about it :(

    happened to me.. they listed a property at 220-245k…. i went to the open for inspection ready to make an offer at 250+k, a few days later when the s32 arrived it went to 290-315. Then sold at auction for 323,500…

    stupid idiots!

    Often, if there is a lot of interest in a property, REAs will tell people to make their best offer. It is a very common practice in the industry. You didn't make your best offer, especially if you now say that you would have paid more. You should have made that offer in the first place.

    Thats a bit of a funny thing to say, as a property investor my job is to get the BEST PRICE possible.. so if the offer underneath mine is some $5,000, why should i be obliged to pay more. Its all about fair! And the best way to do this is via (boardroom auction) or the counter offer approach, that way the vendor gets what they were asking, and the buyer doesn't pay a premium.

    i got 93.5 lol with the commonwealth bank.. which was really lucky of us.

    30 days will not be enough time :S
    what are peoples thoughts? how about 40-50?
    also

    ""also, if we buy a house, we cant put a 10% can we, because that would have to be our money, is that correct?
    No, there are may different types of loan products out there…some 100%, most 80% and some 60%.""

    i meant that when we offer, we cant offer 10% deposit, balance at settlement because we only have 6-8% cash.
    are they more likely to say no if we offer 5% with balance on settlement, and provide 1K when we make the offer?

    cheers

    every single recession we have had, property prices have come out strong each time, why is this any different.,

    i see it as it ALL DEPENDS what your looking for, i see demand for 1 bedrooms 200-300K ALWAYS in demand, everyone can afford these. in hard times and good. however once you step into the 350-400+ range, it gets a little difficult

    if you see something at a good price, (and think the grant WONT last) dont let this to persuade you to not buy it.

    thats just silly.
