We put all our funds into the offset and then build it up so we can avoid Mortgage insurance eg 20% deposit plus funds to cover purchasing/renovation costs. Then we take it out- usually just write a cheque and then purchase an…[Read more]

However I wonder whether yesterdays interest rate cut will increase these figures for November period. I live in a new home development by lend lease- and have not seen any change in the demand for new homes in our area. If anything I think they are selling steadily at the same pace since opening the development…[Read more]

Eg noted at the 3 month inspection there was some paint…[Read more]

For me I like the idea of buying something undervalued, rent below market rent, that needs a quick reno that will boost the value/ and rent, and hold onto it, getting it revalued at the…[Read more]

What level of risk are you willing to take on?What can you afford?Do you have DIY skills to tackle a small renovation?These are good questions to ask yourself. Each person in property will tell you a different story on how they made their money, and each one swears by…[Read more]

What area of Adelaide is the house? If you have based your house price estimate from prices advertised in the area (eg on realestate.com) please note that currently I am observing up to 10% difference (less) of price between advertsed and sold. Prices are regularly now s…[Read more]

I just thought why bother…….I wonder what the other 5 contestants who went to auction really thought of the process. The show was so flawed, eg 24 becomes 6 who take their houses to auction, but only one keeps the so called profits……… I'm assuming the…[Read more]
