    Hi all

    Being a novice with little experience yet,
    only having seen the usual negative gearing
    con offers; I would like to know
    whether anyone has some sort of check list
    to get started?

    I would like to look in Newcastle and Central Coast.

    Many thanks

    Do a search. I have seen a few checklists floating around on these forums.

    there have been some large increases in some areas up the central coast.

    There was a checklist someone posted, I like to know things like rates, whats happening in an area, population, amenities or services nearby eg schools, shopping centres.

    I call these the external factors that might influence my purchase. Then the actual house, looks arent everything but like what we do with fellow humans, we have already assessed them in the first few seconds, we either like or don’t, yet we base this on no real fact or do we?

    Nitty gritty, it depends on what you are looking for eg units? houses? How many rooms? large yard, no yard? I thik a lot is common sense? Best to get pest and property inpections too

    Hi Jokob,

    email admin to send you a checklist – if they have one – or you might need to spend some money buying books. ‘Buyer Beware’ is quite good. Money spent gaining knowledge is priceless.

    Kind Regards,
    George.
