He is talking about off the plan purchases.

Anyway I doubt he is too worried. What others see as a calamity may be an opportunity to Mr Triguboff allowing him to pick up bargain development sites because of lessened competition.

I cannot quite see where the banks come in with large losses.

Where a loan isn’t in place as yet there is no risk to…[Read more]

The way to protect yourself better,Bear,would be,
first of all, to only deal with people whom you think are ethical and, secondly, have an agreement signed by them beforehand.

Such an agreement would be along the following lines :

It would state that in return for you introducing someone to a particular property from time to time that person…[Read more]

Twilight, I don’t quite understand you. Is it going to be run as a motel or are you going to rent it out yourself ?

If the latter why not ask a few local real estate agents for their opinion ?

Mark, there isn’t any need to involve the bank in
your application for the govrnment First Home Buyer’s grant.

You can apply yourself and it will take about three weeks after settlement to get piad (with a deposit being made in your nominated bank account.

To qualify there isn’t even a requirement that you move in immediately. I understand that…[Read more]

I have just become aware of the fact that Toystory lives in the USA., hence the possible lower interest rate.

However, (at least for those of us who don’t have income in the currency you want to borrow in) this is fraught with danger because of the currency risk.

Pisces133

Toystory, we all are waiting with bated breath where we too can find interest rate at 3.75%

Michael we aren’t in disagreement at all.

I, more than most people, am very aware of pitfalls as I took a vendor to court and lost.

I didn’t lose the case based on the facts in the option so much as because the vendor was a lying kyote who said ‘Me no speake de english’.

His story was that he thought he was signing an agreement which allowed…[Read more]

>>Put your SMSF into 2nd mortgages.<<

Second mortgages are high risk for several reasons.

Smart things to do are :

1. It may possibly be a different matter if one were able to spread out one’s money over a large number of mortgages thus spreading the risk.

2. Limit a loan to a maximum of 75% of the value.

3. Be careful about valuations. I…[Read more]

Come off your high horse JB, don’t be so paranoic. No-one mentioned your name. []

I make worse kind of statements about solicitors (and builders and brokers).

Cheers,

I suggest to keep things simple, Fullout.

There are two kind of options.

A simple one page option which just details the property, a price and a time within which the option should be exercised etc. (which your solicitor will say about that it isn’t detailed enough).

Or an option created by your skillful, knowall, theorising solicitor which…[Read more]

Mobile Mortgage man, you are a bl…. spammer.

Yes, there are people here who are interested in loans but, the way you go about it, you aren’t contributing anything in your post, just sneaking in an advertisement without paying for the priviledge.

From what I understand one can display one’s website address on the bottom of one’s post but in…[Read more]

I have now downloaded and installed the Microsoft patches but the problem still persists !!??

As is clear, I am not the only one who experiences problems.

To summarise, I cannot do what I do on other websites i.e. Copy and Paste a post to Microsoft Word.

The only way I can actually Copy and Paste is by
starting a reply to the Post and thence…[Read more]

>>It’s called ‘Data evidence’. You can get it faxed for $14 or emailed for $22. The fax has 70 properties, the email version 110 sales.<<

UNfortunately it isn’t quite as straightforward as that as, more likely than not, the sales are reported perhaps as much as two months late.

It takes time for a sale to settle and for the sale to be entered…[Read more]

Hi Simon,

Never been there but I was told that many people live in underground caves so as to avoid the heat in summer.

Is that correct ?

If so, how much a cave ? []

The way to check prospective tenants is to ask for references.

Not only their present landlord but also the one before.

Don’t bother to check with the present landlord as without fail you will receive a glowing report if they want to get rid of their tenant.

The second last landlord has got nothing to gain by telling you lies and you will be…[Read more]

Slum Lord, if you are talking about residential real estate it looks as if you would have to find a nice Iraqi girl and make her into your Slum Lady.

I understand that under Saddam’s regime foreigners couldn’t own real estate.

As Iraq hasn’t got a new constitution as yet the picture isn’t clear enough so marriage is probably the quickest (and…[Read more]
