Just dropping a line so topic stays active and everyone has a chance of viewing. I know it ain’t property related but a good cause and effort it is I’d say.

Good idea Mathewc73.

I’ve also just spoken to rates dept in local council.

Was advised that if I write a note to the owner I can send it in to the council they will forward it to the owner (after reading it first to ensure contents are not inapropriate).

Then it is up to the owner (or person who opens owners mail) to decide if they wish to…[Read more]

Great post Dazzling.

My deal is tiny compared to yours. But a deal is a deal.

I am working on a land banking opportunity myself, but no rental just land.

its a tiny bit of dirt worth around $50K.

Its an exercise in seeing how cheaply I can get it given the vendor is out of town. Buying is a lot of fun in this market.

Any one else?

would any tenant want to live through a renovation?

consider booking trades people in advance of vacancy to do the work just as one tenant moves out.

Hi Richard

Sadly I can’t – firstly it’s a template which the website provides but also once we got the deal signed up I deleted it and can’t retrieve it. The ad I ran in the paper (where we got the most enquiries) read something like,

“Rent-to-own, 4 bdrm home South City, perm mat, family sized section. $240 pw. Ph….”

Cheers for now

Thank you for the nice reply. Us kiwis kind of have this thing where you don’t go round telling everyone how much money you have. So it’s a bit of a novelty to be able to share!

The property had been tenanted to some pretty dodgy people, by the sounds of things, and the vendor (an out of town person), just wanted rid of it. The tenants had…[Read more]

Yes, thanks guys, it has. We have a lease option on it with a lovely young lady who is currently paying $200pw rent (the av. for the area is $180) plus $40pw towards purchase price. We ended up having 3 genuine applicants who passed credit checks.

In the finish, the reply came from placing a small classified ad in the local paper!

Cheers
Anne

thanks all for your help.[biggrin]

I might also add that a new indoor cycling stadium is being built. This stadium is identical to the Olympic stadium in Beijing. It’s the only one of its kind in NZ (and possibly Australasia, although someone might correct me on this!)

Cheers

Hi guys

We have recently purchased 2 rental properties in Invercargill. One is in Janet Street, South City. We rented this out to a lovely single mum for $200pw. The other is in Drury Lane, opp the railway line. The new tenants are moving in this week, paying $220pw.
So even though there are vacant properties there at the moment, most of them are…[Read more]

I currently have 2 IP in Moranbah which are performing well,9.8% and 10.7% yields. Have also seen good capital growth in the 8 months I have owned them. I think there are currently 13 new mines on the drawing board and a huge shortage of housing which is keeping the rents high. There is a lot of land availble for development that is being held…[Read more]

Hi Nigel,

Are you able to tell us which suburbs you purchased in in Christchurch? I own property there, bought before the current boom.

Thanks heaps
Anne

We checked out Geraldton earlier this year, and like you we think it has a lot of potential. Money committed to infrastructure, foreshore redevelopment and the diversity of industries are all reassuring factors. We have been keeping an eye on the market and did come across one CF+ deal that was very competative – no luck there for us!! Overall,…[Read more]

Go down to your local and have a punt/drink/watch the footy and chat to the other locals there. Throw out the yellow pages as you’ll meet all the tradies you ever need, buy em a beer or a few and prices will drop again.

Cheers,
Jacob.
