Mainly the so-called “professional” jobs here. Perhaps we are the only ones who can afford a computer[?].
I am a mechanical draftsman by training but I have had many businesses over the last 30+ years. Truckie, gardener, indoor cricket centre, mechanic, three aquarium shops and contract drafting doing house plans and currently designing…[Read more]

My wife and I are “baby boomers” but not your cashed-up types. We,ve made several bad property buy and sells over the last twenty or so years. seems we had perfacted the buy-high-sell-low technique. plus a couple of “between-jobs” that the bank hust didn’t understand.

I just knew there was a trick to this game!!!
Great stuff Steve. Just what I needed after a hard day at the J.O.B.

Loans for commercial/industrial have a lower LVR so you will need more up-front money. They can have their upside as explained above
I think it would be wise to at least look into these types of…[Read more]

It almost appears to be another type of phobia-this real fear that the majority of people have of someone doing better than they are. I sometimes think that one has to actually lose something that has a significant dollar value-be it through bad luck or bad management-before they come to the realisation that if they did it differently next…[Read more]

Not too many lenders around with zero BC’s on fixed interest.

The dearer ones generally cost more to maintain and the workmanship is not necessarily better. If the cheapie is starting to frey at the edges it’s generally easier to offload.

Thanks for the “full disclosure” to my question. If we tried full DD before signing a conditional contract in Oz at the moment, we wouldn’t even get the paperwork out of the file before someone else had a contract on it I think I’ll go into business printing those little “Under Contract” sticker…I’ll be a rich man[:D]

Interesting statement you make saying you present your offer THEN do you due diligence. How do you structure your special condidtions to give you an out if you DD doesn’t come up to scratch and you want out?

Sometimes the “Oldies” are more structurally sound than the newer stuff.
I guess the “11 second solution” and your due diligence will take care of your decision irrespective of it’s age-gut feelings apart.

My wife and I lived in Loganlea for seven years until last year. I know a bit about the area including Beenleigh/Tanah Merah/Eagleby. Perhaps you could have a chat with the Principal of PRD Realty-Geoff Kerkow. I had some dealings with him whilst in real estate myself. He’s a genuine guy and should be able to assist you.

Another point to consider is that, in many instances, it’s the real estate stake holder that insists on a deposit at least large enough to cover his/her commission. Also, the legal profession also likes to see a substantial deposit to dissuade purchasers from opting out. “Hurt Money” I think is the term for it.

Just joined the forum. So much to digest!!! Brilliant![:)]

If you are indeed from Qld then might I recommend Terry Ford of Howe, Ford and Boxer (32861322) Accountants and David Grant of David Grant & Associates (54261333). Both very switched on, no-nonsense professionals.

Have a great day,
