we just finished building a house that had it done and it looks unreal.
you get it in large sheets and just tack it on to the timber frame with special nails

its light (no bad backs), cheap and gives you great insulation. its like a big esky!

hope this helps

if possible and you know a builder, get him to buy it for you at trade prices and then just give him the money.

i was doing the course because i originally wanted to be a valuer. i found that i really enjoyed the property subject that i was doing, but the economic subjects (eg.micro and macro)
i found to be really dry and boring, so i left after a semester and went…[Read more]

i reckon the market will be given a slight boost, with maybe not as many people drifting over the border to QLD or WA etc to invest.

it will be interesting to see….

good on you, and as you said its a win-win for both parties…

may i ask what it was you did to win the agent and the vendor over?

it could turn out for the better as well though, eg, being able to keep an eye on them and also creating a good relationship with them etc.

hows it going? there are a few things you would have to find out first i think.

1. you would have to find out if the block is suitable for subdivision.

2. it may be hard for you to get finance at 20 (i’m 20 too), so you may need your parents help

3. and i think you would also have to look at what
other houses of the same landsize,…[Read more]

good luck.

does the 12% net profit take into account building materials or anything like that needed for renovation?
and is the rate around 2%?

thanks again…

i really dont have much of an idea but my gut feeling reckons between 9 – 9.5% [?]

just havin a guess

why dont you tell us some of the other criteria you use for sorting through properties and finding ones that need further looking into??

[?] Powmow [?]

if you do go with Bill’s idea you could drop the price down a bit as you don’t have to pay commision.

if you are paying 3% you could knock $7500 off the asking price….

just remember that it is alot of work trying to sell a property all by yourself. Advertising can be more expensive with Newspapers as Agents normally have a deal…[Read more]

i reckon an air conditioner or cieling fans for those hot airless summer nights would add massive value to your home and would be greatly appreciated by any prospective tenant….

all agents operate under the Property, Stock and Business Agents Act 2002.

i agree with George, if you want to buy a house put an offer in before the Auction so you dont get sucked in to all the hype of an auction.

it wasn’t just Steve working all by himself. Remember Dave? he stayed and worked in their accounting business while Steve went out and looked for deals, they were like a partnership.

very interesting.

i have to agree with pinit,

over the next few years i think quite alot of would be “property investors” are going to get themselves into hot water…..

all we have to do is wait….

i don’t think there are any suburbs that this strategy is guarenteed to work in, but my recomendation would be to try and find a suburb where the people dont like getting there hands dirty……

could you please send it to me as well?
thanks heaps!!

a great idea would be to purchase Steves Buyer Beware e-book from this site…

i dont actually have it myself but from what i have heard, it is a great investment for only like $59.95 or something…

in the residential tenancy act, the information it gives about locks, windows etc, is that they have to be REASONABLY SECURE. this pretty much means that if the door cannot be opened with reasonable force then it is secure.

its pretty dodgy i reckon but that just the way it is.

[] Powmow []

sophsi is right to an extent…

if a property is just out side the 11 sec rule you shouldn’t discount it totally.

negotiating the price or putting a larger deposit down can help a property get back inside the 11 sec rule.

hope this helps

i think after about 3 weeks of talking to my dad about +ve gearing at the dinner table, i think i am starting to get through to the old guy…..

he’s starting to read 0-130 and he is finding it really interesting. he is just a bit worried about getting a property outside the Northern Beaches (sydney) where we live.

i was just wondering still-in-school, where did you invest? not that i want to be fed all the information on a silver platter, but that sounds amazing!!![]

could you maybe give us some figures to show us how you did it[?]

thanks

[] Powmow []

i think thats a great idea but…

if you could give everyone a little more info it would be easier to give an opinion.

maybe some info like…..

1. how much is your house worth [?]
2. where do you want to buy in the country [?]

[] Powmow []

although i agree with most of what still-in-school
is saying, such as negotiating the purchase price, dont count on the interest rates staying at 6 or 7%. while this might happen, its not good to leave anything up to chance.

the average interst rate for the past 30 years is around 10%.

have you read 0-130 yet? there is an extra…[Read more]
