They can be a mixed bag. Sometimes i find the newbies great as they'll listen to anything to get a first sale over the line and often let you get to the seller with some clever words. Oftentimes the deal is all agreed…[Read more]

I do deals all over Australia even though I'm in Melbourne. And i have friends in Perth who do great.

LIke the others said you need to apply what you learn.

You should consult a solicitor ideally located in the state where the property is located. If you tell us your state i can suggest a few… or otherwise you can ring around all the solicitors in the area and ask for the property specialist in the firm.

Banks will negotiate depending on the circumstances of the property – particularly if they know they are likely to take a big loss on the property at mortgagee auction.

They have a hard time understanding they can own the home for a bit more cash each week. They usually dont want to pay more to enjoy the same house, even though they can own it. Its a bigger headshift for them.

There really isn't anything stopping you from doing your first transaction interstate if you really dont want to do lease options in SA, although from my understanding SA is fine with lease options but instalment sales are ruled out due to  laws in SA.

Perhaps the person asking this already knows a lot and you can ask them too.

Lots of information is in Ricks new book too How To Buy A House for $1

There are so many facets to real estate, development, buy and hold with negative gearing,  renovation, cash flow positive with buy and hold or with terms sales, subdivision, commercial, options, I could go on. Work out which interests you first then seek the best course in that field….
