Yeah you can mentor me. I’m not going to protest.
Oh this ain’t monopoly? Nah sorry got no deals goin.

I do like the concept though, but one thing…
Is this a competition or a mentring program?!

A mentor could initially guide a student…
And then compete once competency and knowledge is substantial.

But for all you seasoned developers…

Cheers,
Jacob.

How do you value ‘discussion groups’ (such as SDG3 post)?
Would you ever consider being a guest speaker?
What would you be willing to address the group on?
Would you charge for such a privelige or not?

Cheers,
Jacob.

It’s hard for new forums because you read some of the questions and you just feel like sending them to a previous post on this forum… lol… but it’s a step forward and might induce some provoking thought and new ideas not yet expressed or lost within the maze of topics on offer here.

It may also provide an opportunity for deal ‘advertising’ as…[Read more]

Hey all,

Thanks grossrealisation for emailing me and reminding me of the Sydney Discussion Group proceedings. I have been tied up with uni trying to get all end of year things completed before my yearly exams.

It is unfortunate the meeting is on the 16th of October as it is smack bang in the middle of my working week at the WXI vs AUS in the…[Read more]

Hi Alysha, I guess it depends on your interpretation of where Lancelin is.

To us, being several kms from the beach is not Lancelin.
For holidayers proximity to beach is pretty important.

It seems like this is more of an opportunity for a relaxed lifestyle but as far as an investment property goes I dont know how you would go getting a…[Read more]

Hi all, on the topic of fuel prices the one good thing that may come out of this is that we Australians learn to drive more economically.

In Europe, where they dream of $1.35 a litre, people turn their engines off whilst stopped for trains, at traffic lights (with warning lights to restart), at drive thru fast food, and they dont have drive thru…[Read more]

We know Lancelin very well!
It is a hot windsurfing spot, and the fav with Euros over the European winter (I married one).
Have been looking at investing there for a number of years but the figures just never stack up. It comes down to the rental returns which are spasmodic and reliant upon holidayers/ winsurfers.It used to be cheaper than the…[Read more]

Yes kp, you’re right!
The price incl. stamp duty was 144,500 + conveyancing 1000.

Have held the original house for 12 mths. Should impact tax. Has been a rental for this time

New dwelling will require final fitout – as an interior designer I can keep this to $4000 floors, $3000 paint, $1200 window treatments + $1500 mimimal garden (small lot +…[Read more]

Hiya, true red and black Crusader here. We have property in Christchurch even though we no longer live there and I’m of the opinion that the growth there will continue at a pleasant 9-10%. However I’d be hard pressed to find a positive cashflow property right now without injecting a sizeable deposit.
My picks for the areas to buy in: Sydenham…[Read more]

Thanking you all very much for your input. Yes, Rick, will follow that up. I’ve made some more changes and am getting lots of enquiries (17 so far this morning). Much happier!

Will keep you all posted. This is a variation on my usual “buy and hold” so all a steep learning curve.

Anne

Okay, made some changes…how does this look?

Thanks again
Anne

No, thank you! I appreciate your reply. Will make some small changes and see how we go.

Am also running an ad in the “Rent” column:

Cheers for now

grossrealisation loves his syndicates and would probably have some useful insight on this matter.

Cheers,

Hey Cindy,

Check this handy fact sheet: http://www.osr.nsw.gov.au/pls/portal/docs/page/downloads/other/fhb_factsheet.pdf

I recently had a discussion about the same issue with a property solicitor that should be in the know-how due to years of experience within the field, however they said no no no to all my ideas… So I asked for some proof why…[Read more]

Hi Marissa,
is your landscaping post referring to a Dalyellup property?
Even if not you need to look at what you get for the $7000 landsc/fencing package – it’s not a lot.
Fencing uses about half – usually done by developers contractors to ensure uniformity.
Most new estates will require front retic and landscaping as minimum. It is worthwhile to…[Read more]

Hi property Passion,
couldnt agree more with Gross – take on a learning project.

I have relevant experience in building/design and decided to put it into practice for myself.
Have done some building on developed land. This is still well within my comfort zone, so I needed some new projects….

For my first subdivision I decided to use the…[Read more]

Cabo Wabo, did you find it is relevant to single storey residential, or is it more for high rise?

thanks Julie [sunny]

Hi Gross,
I am a small scale investor developer and would really like some help from you in working out the profit margin figures on a project.
It is a subdivision (WA) , with an existing house on corner block.
I will sell the original front house when the new block is created. I will not owe any on the new block.
Will build on new block and am…[Read more]
