The auction is in Melbourne this Saturday 3rd July. I am close to one of the beneficiaries.
On the State Trustees auction page this auction is not listed. The beneficaries agreed to use another agent one not normally used by the ST so this maybe the reason…[Read more]

We got the loan in our name but we each pay $52 per week towrds expenses etc.

When house is sold we each get 50/50 profits.
Now he is interstate and does nothing so he is virtually a silent money partner.

We drew up our own agreement which said both to agree when property is to be sold etc…[Read more]

That is you sign a rental property agreement for a specific purpose (not an ongoing agreement)

We bought a house in Woodridge November 2002 for $85,000 and thought that was good. They are now selling this type of house for about $170,000.
Wish I had known then I would have bought much more!
Prices are still going up but I believe are not selling as rapidly as a few weeks ago. All the buyers from Interstate BEWARE as the…[Read more]

Have found out from Council that the house could be demolished as it is not heritage listed 1960’s and we maybe able to build new house, possibly units etc in its place.

The land is not large only 541m2.
It is on a main Road. We are also thinking of dividing the house down the middle with one carport each side.

The asking price for the house is $149,500 which is ridiculous. The sellerand Real Estate agent is just jumping on the bandwagon for booming prices.
I feel more like $120,000 to $125,000 is more like it.
Factor in re stumping etc to be done. We would do all work ourselves except restumping
We would not live there but purely…[Read more]

At the moment rent is $120 per week but with spruce up and all 4 done at once would cut costs up this would bring up rent.
They have just come on market so waiting for agent for more details. As soon as I have more will let you know

We had mostly international students and some would not share with people from different countries etc.
The long term students we found would find their own houses.
The flooding of the laundry we could not prove as 6 people in the one house all said we didnt do it.

They will try to get away with things whereas a property manager keeps the distance between you and the tenant.
But
I have still had to tell a PM that I want a notice served on a tenant when the PM has been reluctant too.

Woodridge is a mixture. Most of the HC houses were grouped together. These UR are very good as the whole street gets a makeover and it looks really good

They signed the lease as is!
