I haven’t been on much lately I been pounding the pavement looking for properties (and yes positive properties do exist I am putting in my first offer today) and doing deals on and fixing cars to get the money to attend the seminar in Melbourne, and I did it, I am there and all paid up and ready to go finally after much panicking but I knew I would get there one way or the other.
Interesting situation with the new offer, a bit like Dicko and Mark Holden I can’t beleive that I am agreeing with Billfromoz, but don’t complicate the deal, I think you are on teh right track but find the simplest solution. BTW do you kno whow much they “need to do the deal” now. this sometimes helps with negotiation. Don’t forget the agent jsut might be sqeezing you. Standing your ground if you are confident can go in your favour ( and not ).
Unfortunately no I am not going to be at the seminar, I did not get my invitation.
Have a great time though, speak to heaps of people hear there advice filter the stuff that works for you and move on to the next person, you will learn stacks.
Hmmmmmm I don’t wana give too many details away on here in case some one tries to track the property down and put in better offers, but lets say I offered $30,000 less then the asking price and they come back with $10,000 less as a counter offer. I know the agent is trying to squeeze me and she has been caught out on many lies, not the type of agent I would want selling my property. She is the agent from hell, and tries working alot on guilt, should have seen her reaction when I arranged a building expectation, she tried the guilt trip plus………LOL. She said they wouldn’t move from the original price as they originally wanted 20k more then the asking price. Well they moved 10k in 24 hours .LOL She also told me the land itself was worth over $200k, which my home work proved that wrong by a huge margin.
Any way in not giving up, I know ill get it for less, I am sitting on it for a few days, and the agent hasn’t wasted a day not contacting me, and saying she has bought a couple more people threw today. Instead of preasuring me it tells me there isnt much interest in the property thus far, so I am confident ill get it cheaper then the counter offer. I will have my work cut out on this property fixing it up, but I am sure it will be well worth it. I love the location also. 5 minutes from one of the best fishing spots I know. More time fishing while doing deals in my head![][]
