    Hi Peter
    As you have read my post then you can see I have supplied his initials. Do they align with the person you are referring too

    Hi Mack
    How is your search going for a reliable mentor.
    Be very careful when researching. There Are plenty of sharks out there willing to take your hard earned cash of your hands.
    Richard speaks from a place of experience and is the type of mentor to look for.
    I was unlucky to meet a shark, who promised to lead me to financial freedom but within 2…[Read more]

    Merv,
    Nigel is right, there is always somebody wanting a piece of the action. Even if they’re a self-promoting mentoring guru ,who you pay highly for their service. They are also on the receiving end of commissions from the deals you do.

    I just want to tell you a story of what happened to me.
    I took a big lost with the GFC and needed an alternative to investing in Oz. In 2015 ,I noticed a participant on this site talking up the benefits of Florida and having contacts on the ground in Orlando. As he was quite active here, I decided to sign up for his lifetime mentoring at a cost of…[Read more]

    Great to hear from you David, I agree with your Buy and Hold strategy , with a view to develop in a couple of years. Have done a couple of these with the same success. I got the impression CovelliOO was talking about flipping them quickly and repeating the process.But holding costs ,closing costs ,sales commission , stamp duty. They eat into a…[Read more]

  • rob-wa replied to the topic Looking for a partner in Perth! in the forum Value Adding 8 years, 5 months ago

    Hi, I have done many renovations in Perth in the past and now not entirely convinced that the current Perth market is a good “reno market”. Two weeks ago, the Saturday west newspaper printed an article from Macquarie . Which compared 6 houses on the market now to when they were bought in 2007 [the peak of the perth market]. The worst was a house…[Read more]

    That's fine , Jamie.

    But if you get your own valuation, you will discover if the developer has jacked the valuation up.
    And you can use yours to negotiate a better deal, if you want to continue with the purchase.

  • rob-wa replied to the topic Buying off the plan in the forum Help Needed! 11 years, 1 month ago

    Not for me either.

    Same reasons as above;

    With finance committed for 1 or 2 years, to settlement date, doesn't allow for other projects to be considered.
    Also, I would insist on getting my own valuation OTP  done, before signing the COS.

  • rob-wa replied to the topic Should i just buy somthing allready in the forum General Property 11 years, 1 month ago

    Have you thought about using a "Buyers Agent"

    I've used them for development blocks and easily made their commission plus profit back..

    Hi Lisa,

    At the mention of cabinet makers, I see $$$$$$$$$$$$$.

    Before going to the expense, draw up a scale plan, with taps, drain on it and take it to IKEA.
    They have designers that may be able to help you.

    Buddy, it sounds like you have dug a massive hole.

    Google; "Dominique Grubisa"
    Think she has a company called "Aussie Debt Rescue" .
    May be able to help.

    Friends of mine bought a contemporary  style 3 x 2  house on a 6 metre wide block in Subiaco , Perth.
    It was separate and a mirror image of the house next door , with a difference looking exterior.
    As you know Subi , is close to the city and prices are quite high. They doubled their money in 6 years
    There is a demand for this size, if its close…[Read more]

    Hi Dan,

    I personally wouldn't build in Baldivis or Wellard, too far south, unless it's about affordability .
    Armadale has a train service to the city and great for investors as prices are low compared to the Perth medium .
    Ellenbrook  has been popular for a couple of years now, not sure of the values, there was talk of a light rail link with…[Read more]

    Hi James,

    For your first question, Don't rip the boards off you will open a can of worms. I'm guessing they are vertical ship-lap boards or panels. Best to make sure they are firmly nailed on  then clad over the top with gyprock .

    Not sure what you mean by wooden strips, if they are running horizontal about 1 metre above the floor then that is a…[Read more]

    Hi Sambo,

    My question would be .
    Where is your weekender ?
    How much time do you spend there ?
    How much is it costing you to hold on too ?
    Are you emotionally attached to it.
    Why not start your investing now by renting it out, you can always use it as a weekender a few years down the track after you have built up your portfolio.

    Just my two cents worth
