Hi,
Thanks for your replies.
I am still amused by that agents conduct, I think he should not be in sales or deal with people.Live and learn. By The Way I agree that vendors should get highest price, it’s just not knowing IF there is another bidder or a phantom? There aren’t that many properties on his for sale books.
I have since found a better…[Read more]

Hi,
The mentioned property is in Millicent, SA. The price was listed at $65,000. Rented at $125.p/wk.
Now it’s withdrawn and apparently going to wait a week and re-list it at $87,000. I didn’t get to inspect it but if it’s rented at $125 I’m guessing it must be liveable.
I didn’t like the bidding contest.[] But if he is genuine and there is…[Read more]

Hi,

It comes back to buy what you can easily afford and not struggle, than to try and max out to buy the more expensive.

Today the Real-estate agent rang informing…[Read more]

Hi,
I have also read some of Roberts K’s books, I thought they were enjoyable, if fact hard to put down once started.

Also the option fee has to be made clear that it’s not a part payment as this offends section 5 of the Land and Business(sale and conveyancing)…[Read more]

Hi, I am also new to the game.
The plan I use is after inspecting the property myself, 1: Offer $price- willing to pay.(once you have looked at a few properties you will get a general feel on Property values)
2: Put subject to building inspection
3: subject to finance (always even if pre-approved)
*4:Ask for long settlement, with permission during…[Read more]

Hi,
A Quesion for The B, If you do add value to the property before settlement, How do you structure the forms/contract to allow you to have access to the property before it is actually yours. We weren’t even allowed the keys to a previous property untill after settlement. So just curious about it, sounds great.
Thanks.
