Moving is rarely considered fun, but savings may be worth it.
Just a thought

transporters ARE a possibility in the location.

My first contacts were with (2) transportable companies and.., well, they are what encouraged me to perservere with the concreter, as $$ estimates not much different for what appeared to be a superior product.

This is a nice, LOCAL link and the aesthetics of finished houses AREN’T the…[Read more]

They are the benefits I see also.

The project builders are my next call! Coordinating contractors and getting quotes has been a little painful. I’d not considered AV Jenning etc as the location is in SA and not exactly metropolitan. The worst they can say is, “No” and I ring the concretor again (or get quote for a framed floor as…[Read more]

Balance DOES seem to be the key. If no one receives, no one can enjoy the experience of giving.

This is a bit long, but a favourite.

If it is such a lovely area that has seen significant cap. gain, Are you charging BELOW market rental now?? Have you considered a paintjob?, new curtains, offering a new washing machine for rent increase? Just some new questions for you..

My understanding of the situation is that as part of the contract, the party taking over the mortgage has a claim
(caveat/encumberance?? apologies for linguistic limitation)
placed on title after the original party is paid out. Sale usually negotiated on terms of $100K, $35k cash to vendor and take over $75K debt,…[Read more]

My father investigated this ~5yrs ago, so my info is dated. ATTN mortgage brokers, is there info you can contribute??

3 properties available in close succession may not mean anything. I bought a place (1/6) and three other properties in the block also sold around the same time (4months).

Just wanted you to know it’s not unheard of. High capital growth spurred on at least 2 of the sales….(and has continued), but each vendor had different reasons for…[Read more]

I was hoping to find glowing testamonials… I don’t want to be told to focus on my “real” job either. That’s not the type of advice I’m happy to pay for!!

I’d suggest having your solicitor draw contract of sale and hold the deposit in trust. This keeps it legal, easy to trace and fair for everyone.

Can’t help feeling surprised that alot of people miss the point that the property MARKET is subject to MARKET forces!! Thanks Peter for your contribution. I am also extending my debt in the near future, but with awareness of factors that influence the MARKET and the level to which I am exposed to the market. As a novice investor, new…[Read more]
