I understand the need to offer a good price whith such conditional terms. When doing my analysis on the deal I will account for that. The profit margin should still be more than satisfactory otherwise I will move on to the next one!

Just read a property book and in it, a developer mentioned…[Read more]

Great to read your posts as you are a seasoned developer.

Will give council a call, find a surveyor specializing in the area and take it from there. I will definately allow for possible delays in my scenario / sensitivity analysis.

Mck – Thanks also. Will search them out in the development forum and ask. Also have…[Read more]

I just read Ron Forlee’s “Intelligent guide to Australian Property Development”. Found it very informative and well worth the $30.

Believe he has a new one out re: a step by step guide to prop dev.

Cheers

I attended Steve’s Masterclass in Brisbane and loved it. I guess whether they are worth it depends largely on whether you use what is learned to improve your investing. A succsessful deal could pay for a seminar many times over.

I am weary of presenters getting people excited and then upselling a much more expensive product or seminar at the…[Read more]

I wish you well whatever you decide. I am from Adelaide and planning my first investment property purchase. I work in the building industry and have worked on many developments in the “trust” areas. The old trust homes are being bought,buildozed, split down the middle and two courtyard homes built. Maybe explore the possibilty of…[Read more]

I am currently researching the possibilty of buying and renting out on a per room basis in SA.

Do most investors who do this pay for electricity, water etc themselves and factor into per room rent? I would imagine this is the simplest way. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. Best wishes

Markus

Yes I remember you. Have your card in front of me. A JV could be a possibilty. Have a few things to do ( get house ready for valuation, setup company/trust etc) before I could do anything realistically so I am working hard on doing that but I am doing my research at moment. Will email soon or feel free to contact me.

Regards,

Markus

I understand many use the company as trustee for trust setup. Is it common for people to use the company to do short-term projects such as renos or developments or should this be a strictly ” no trading company ” when…[Read more]

Will help me in my planning. For info house is worth $270 – $300k. Loan is $130k. You can only borrow max of 80% of equity I believe so I may even have more than $100k.

I work in building industry. My plan is to buy one house, do a cosmetic reno and either rent out to keep or if market is ok sell. Is a line of…[Read more]

Is property in question near university, TAFE or hospital? If so worth exploring possibility of renting to students/nurses on a per room basis to boost income. I am exploring that option down here in Adelaide.

Best wishes
