MrsC, that doesn’t seem right unless the other offers are presented on the same day. There is no minimum or maximum, well I guess technically the minimum numbers of offers to be presented is 1 (or I suppose 0!). If home open is this sunday, and you have finances in order, done your due diligence and very keen on it, submit an offer in writing…[Read more]

awesome, thanks Terry.

I recently spoke to a building surveyor in the council where I'm looking at purchasing a deal for renovation. Am considering in that house to add a shower and vanity to the laundry area, already an existing WC there and huge floor space. Without mentioning the address of the house in question, I phoned the council to ask if adding a shower and…[Read more]

Melkane – just out of interest, how much did u end up being quoted for your report?

Kate do u know roughly what it would cost to rewire whole house if your partner charged for it – just to get an idea for old house.

Hi MrsC, I had a sparky in the other day and asked him about ballpark figures for rewiring, as I'm looking at a 3×1 1969 built brick + tile house in suburban Perth. He said it shoudl be in the range of…[Read more]

something which has been suggested a few times in recent property magazines (API and YPI) for young couples wanting to get started and without a current PPOR is to buy a house in need of renovation, and move in. Buy with the view to renovate and sell or convert to IP, but move in, claim FHOG, and over the timeframe of 6-12 months complete the…[Read more]

Thanks Joel, I enjoyed the video. Looks like you’ve got a good support team in place to help with renos!

do a forum search, you’ll see loads of posts about it

This post intrigues me as I’ve just put an offer on a burned house also, though as far as I’m aware there were no injuries resulting from the fire. I had been wondering if I would have to disclose post-reno when its on the market again that it had suffered a fire. My theory was if its passed ther structural engineers report, been repaired by a…[Read more]

wow, this is an old thread dug up! thanks mate, purchased two houses since this post. Used McGregor Settlements, highly recommended. My building inspector was George Clack.

this is a link to her free intro DVD. its a recording of one of the seminars, basically word for word of what you’d see if you went to her presentation. coudln’t see a link to any upcoming dates. why not register for a free DVD, watch it and see what you think of her background, presenting skills, personality…[Read more]

have you been to her free introductory seminars? I learned more from her in those 2 or so hours, then in probably all other seminars combined. I was concerned about the price of her workshop, especially as coming from perth i’d have flights as well, but apparently it does include 12 months coaching and all the templates/education also.

I was…[Read more]

Hi Chris,

Might be an idea to start buying either the Australian Property Investor magazine, or the Your Property Investment magazines. Both include a section with state wrap-ups and at the back have a list of all WA postcodes with median prices, days on market etc. You can also buy the two weekend papers and read their property sections.

Also,…[Read more]

Steve started Results and did the first 4 or 5 years of it. Its now run by other mentors, currently 4 of them, but it still uses the same principles and teachings from steve’s days. Though each year they review the course notes and update as required to fit the current market. For example in the days of Steve’s 0 to 130 properties book, it was…[Read more]

ah let me add to that, he’s not closing down… he was exhibiting at the home show on the weekend and keeps taking on more work and purchasing more goods. i don’t see him leaving any time soon.

Yes, he has an ABN and a registered business name.

just throwing in a comment which has been posted by others on other topics, but don’t look at the depreciation benefits in your consideration of whether or not its a good deal.

Buy a deal based on figures without the depreciation benefits, any benefits on top are the “cream on top”.

you never know when situations may change with the ATO… So…[Read more]

I would just be interested to know if their coaching is applicable to all properties on the market and their due diligence can extend beyond their own portfolio. As some others have mentioned, it could be an idea to use your own finance broker, your own solicitor etc before signing anything. It doesn't mean a huge red flag, they have to get their…[Read more]

I was curious to visit the website after reading this thread, so I did… I found the below information under their FAQ heading:Q13. Who pays for all the Investing for Profit’s free services? The vendors pay Investing for Profit a fee which largely offsets their marketing expenses and advertising expenses. In addition a quicker turnover can in…[Read more]
