For those who go to a seminar and consider it a scam after a few minutes, why do they not get up and say as much instead of sitting their quietly?

I always ask questions that expose the scam or that the presenter cannot answer when I think they are scamming people!

I am happy to wait for someone who owns a Studio in postcode 2011 or 2010 to let us now about their good capital gains. I personally have not seen any since about 2000.

I don’t see anyone saying there was big capital gains in Sydney. There is no argument from me about them always being rented though. They are very popular.

I don’t know why retail product pricing rules do not extend to property. If a pricetag on a product in a supermarket says $3.00, then you pay $3,00. You can negotiate a lower price but you know the maximum even if it was an error. What is the point of stating a price well below what is expected?

I think stating ‘$amount +’ is ridiculous!

It is standard marketing. A property owner’s address is available through tools like RP Date. The information can be mail merged and personalised letters printed. The agent will just sign a few hundred hear and there to personalise it (or some will use a colour printer to add their signature in blue). Throwing a stack of signed (or printed)…[Read more]

Come on Anubis, I know people who enrol and get less than 10% as a mark. They are certainly not showing any ability. I think you get 10% for writing your name so they must have got that wrong!

Caveat Emtpor = Buyer Beware

Why did you just not look at the contract which should have been provided to you by law?

Did the agent ever write down that the property had a frontage greater than 15m? If not, good luck recovering anyhing from the agent.

In almost every Strata I have seen, walls, floors, ceilings, internal cavities and common areas are the responsibility of the Strata. It will not cost much by means of special levy if there are a lot of units. There may even be enough in the sinking fund to not cost anyone any extra.
