    I use SGIO. Their quote was cheaper than AAMI.

  • 1HotValuer replied to the topic mining towns in the forum General Property 17 years, 7 months ago

    Mt Magnet W.A.
    Booming, new mines opening up.
    Positively geared.
    I own a property there.

  • 1HotValuer replied to the topic Age of building in the forum General Property 17 years, 7 months ago

    Depends what state you are in. I can help you if you are in NSW.
    What colour are the bricks, what style is the outside of the house? I have studied construction in NSW for dwellings bult since the 1900’s. Besides that, it hard for the average person to work out the age of a dwelling. If you have the deposited plan and have the registration date,…[Read more]

  • 1HotValuer replied to the topic Building costs. Anyone got a rule of thumb? in the forum Value Adding 17 years, 8 months ago

    Rule of thumb for NSW is $1200/m2 for brick veneer dwellings. Project homes are around $800/m2.
    We use these rates to determine costs of new constructions. Some builders do vary so just use this as a rule of thumb.
    Full brick rates are about $1500/m2.

  • 1HotValuer replied to the topic Property value increase via suburb name change? in the forum Value Adding 17 years, 8 months ago

    Property value would not increase just because the name of the suburb changed.
    Just look at Kellyville and Kellyville Ridge. Two different council areas next door to each other with about a $30,000 difference in land values. It’s still Kellyville.

    And Bella Vista has a ‘rich’ side and a ‘poor’ side. It wouldn’t matter if Crestwood was called…[Read more]

  • 1HotValuer replied to the topic Carport to Garage worth it??? in the forum Value Adding 17 years, 8 months ago

    A carport adds about $10,000 to the value of a home and a garage adds $20,000 in Sydney. So yes you are adding value.
    Not sure about council approvals in your area though. I do know that you need to apply for it if you are building a new garage, but to add onto the carport; phone the council and ask.

  • 1HotValuer replied to the topic Investing With Friends in the forum Help Needed! 17 years, 8 months ago

    I bought a +cf property with a friend 3 years ago.
    The loan and the title (contract)of the property go into the four of your names. You get the conveyancer to make the four of you as ‘tenants in common’ which means you each get an equal share of 1/4 of the property and can pass that share on to a person of your choosing should you die god…[Read more]

  • 1HotValuer replied to the topic Whats the go with valuations man! in the forum No Subject 17 years, 8 months ago

    Valuers have access to information on what you prevoiusly bought the unit for. If the Valuer didn’t know that you had renovated it, then she stupidly did you a diservice. A good Valuer would know the difference in value between an unrenovated unit value and a renovated unitsvalue. Unbelievable.
    I also can’t believe that any Valuer would not take…[Read more]

  • 1HotValuer replied to the topic desperately trying to figure something out… in the forum Help Needed! 17 years, 8 months ago

    With $190k you can buy 8+cf properties !

  • 1HotValuer replied to the topic Answers to “Where to Find CF+ Deals” in the forum Help Needed! 17 years, 8 months ago

    Broken Hill is excellent for +cf property.

  • 1HotValuer replied to the topic Help to evaluate deal in the forum No Subject 17 years, 8 months ago

    I had a look at allrealestate.co.nz and saw the houses for sale in Hamilton with a minimum asking price of $355,000. I am not a Valuer in NZ but I recommend you email Ray White Real Estate in Hamilton and get their opinion on whether it represents market value.

  • 1HotValuer replied to the topic LAND FANATICS! Any takers? in the forum Help Needed! 17 years, 8 months ago

    Sounds too risky. Who would give someone $50,000 on the promise of a 62% return? I’ve known of schemes in the past and sorry to say I do smell a rat on this one.

  • 1HotValuer replied to the topic whats a property worth please? in the forum No Subject 17 years, 8 months ago

    Hi,
    I am a Valuer and I’m not clear on whether you have a commercial/residential property that you are trying to strata title? (subdivide).
    Your post states What is a property worth?
    If you are going overseas shortly, you are better off selling the building rather than mess with subdivision of title.
    I recommend you get a valuation of the…[Read more]

  • 1HotValuer replied to the topic Answers to “Where to Find CF+ Deals” in the forum Help Needed! 17 years, 8 months ago

    Ok I am answering Lee’s question on HOW to buy your first +cf.
    1.Save up $9000 (20% deposit)
    2.Buy a property in Queenstown or Zeehan or Rosebery in Tasmania for $45,000. Rent it for $90 per week.
    3.Save up the stamp duty and conveyancing cost during the 6 week settlement.
    4.I recommend buying sight unseen. I have bought 10 properties this way.
    5…[Read more]

  • 1HotValuer replied to the topic What attracted you to your current mate? in the forum No Subject 19 years, 8 months ago

    Eight inches.

  • 1HotValuer replied to the topic property valuation in the forum Finance 19 years, 8 months ago

    Wow Scott,
    I’m impressed.
    I just want someone to have the exterior of the house already measured and drawn up for me.
    Ahhhh, one can dream.

  • 1HotValuer replied to the topic Finding your way around town (online) in the forum Creative Investing 19 years, 8 months ago

    And I went to the trouble of buying Country Link street directories for every state and territory in Australia. Go figure. Does anyone know of a free aerial photography site for each state? I know RPData has aerial photos but I pay for that service.

  • 1HotValuer replied to the topic brainstorming in the forum Help Needed! 19 years, 9 months ago

    You are limited to what you can do. You must check the zoning guidelines, sometimes they will allow a childcare centre to be built, which is very profitable if you can find a tenant. Or you can just put one big fat house on it and rent it out.Council zoning guildelines or Local Environmental Plan dictates what can and can’t be built.
