    Is it a concern that all the homes for sale on the net i saw under 100k in Buffalo were between 75 to over 100 years old?

    PPOR in Coffs Hbr, just sold 1 12 metres away, have another 1/2 km away and are building a new PPOR 1km away. i figure if you can’t have a go in your own backyard how are you going to do it in someone elses, of course there is always exceptions.

    Hi Scott,
    This is what was posted.
    I was lucky enough to hear Scott the Depreciator talk in Hobart on Thursday night. It really opened my eyes to the benifits of depreciation. Scott said that after intrest on IPs, depreciation is usually the next biggest tax deduction.

    The website is worth a look http://www.depreciator.com.au

    Cheers,

    Pete

  • robo replied to the topic subdividing 2 existing houses on one title in the forum Value Adding 18 years, 5 months ago

    I just strata titled a dual occ that i did 3 years ago, we built a new home behind a old one, 2 houses. I would try and get plans of the block with the houses on it if possible and take them to a local surveyor, if not get the surveyor to go and have a look with you. They know all about what council will want regarding access, open spaces,…[Read more]

  • robo replied to the topic Duplex Developers advice welcomed! in the forum General Property 18 years, 5 months ago

    Sure am Simon, i am going down the same path, difference is i am looking for land i can subdivide into 2 blocks and build 2 homes, sell 1 keep 1.
    My 2 concerns are,
    1. Like resi said buying the land at the right price. And finding it.
    2. Competing with builders in the area that do house and land packages, their costs have got to be less. Then if i…[Read more]

  • robo replied to the topic Dodgey electrician.. what to do? :( in the forum Help Needed! 18 years, 5 months ago

    I would get the tiler back and get him to quote you to replace the tiles, then ring the sparky and tell him you are taking it out of his price and if it is more you will be sending him the bill. if he doesn’t like it tell him you can just go straight to consumer affairs. Some tradesman especially selfemployed ones seem to think they don’t have to…[Read more]

  • robo replied to the topic Whats it take to be a developer? in the forum Value Adding 18 years, 5 months ago

    Hi Gross,
    What about if you are doing house and land package, ie you own land and contract a builder, can they impose those fines on you or builder.
    good old work cover guess you just paid someones wage for the year. No wonder building costs keep goig up won’t be long you won’t be able to get a builder to build you a dog kennel.

  • robo replied to the topic Negotiations with builder in the forum Help Needed! 18 years, 5 months ago

    What does it matter what the builders margin is, if you don’t like his quote go and get another one. he is the one that takes all the risks re insurances work cover etc, would you tell people how much you make. Look at this way he is doing you a favour by building the home for you. simple really if you are not happy don’t sign.

  • robo replied to the topic is it worth it to keep the first home grant? in the forum Help Needed! 18 years, 6 months ago

    Like Simon said you have 12 months within to occupy the home, so you could rent it for 6 mnths then move in for 6 mths or move in first for 6mths and then rent it out.

  • robo replied to the topic Finding the courage in the forum Help Needed! 18 years, 6 months ago

    Krs,
    I don’t know what your background is, for me i would have a look at some sort of commission only work, sales/marketing that pays big dollars for less hours maybe 3 days a week that will give you 2 days for investing. A lot of people get turned off by that word commission but if you have belief in yourself and can do it you will never go…[Read more]

  • robo replied to the topic Take the offer or not? in the forum Help Needed! 18 years, 6 months ago

    Thanks Paul, when the exclusive agency runs out, having no current agreement is that the same as a non exclusive agency or do i need to sign a new one.

  • robo replied to the topic Take the offer or not? in the forum Help Needed! 18 years, 6 months ago

    Thanks Guys we decided to take the offer after the agent extracted another 2.5k. See what happens if it goes to exchange if not there is always the PM. I did ask him if he would buy it without looking inside and he said he would never do that, but has sold plenty to people sight unseen: interesting. I asked our agent how he feels now after wanting…[Read more]

  • robo replied to the topic Take the offer or not? in the forum Help Needed! 18 years, 6 months ago

    Brc,
    I live 10m away, he won’t look at it until the other agents agreement finishes, he said if they find out i will have to pay comission anyway and i suppose he has a reputation to uphold.
    The pm lives in same town. If you sell it to someone who looks at it while the agents agreement is current don’t you have to pay then their comission?
