If renovated, it will be substantially more appealing than anything else on offer. Sure enough he had 4 applications at the first open and the tenant moved in 4 days later. Saved me $1600

Could someone read the below email and let me know if this is normal? Am I being over cautious?
Cheers

Usually agents do not order until they have a contract offer as all information needs to be current and searches expire.

The usual way is to make an offer on contract and then…[Read more]

I will take your advise and specify a longer period. Also the sellers agent seems reluctant to supply the managent fund info I have requested so I may not be proceeding at all.
Regards

Do you see a potential problem with completing on the 18th? I’ve not submitted the contract yet as I have asked for the minutes and accounts from the managent fund on advise from the conveyancer and am waiting for them to make sure…[Read more]

Got quoted $600+GST. Seems like a good date for completion would be 18th December

The sellers agent has requested some information to form a contract for me to sign. One of the items of information is the settlement date. I have deposit and purchasing costs and pre approval for more than the balance. I’m not sure what date to state for the settlement. How…[Read more]

If they had a car and wanted to put it in and out of the garage what would be the difference?

So much of what I have read has stressed the importance of buying at or below the Median Price for the house type in an area.
However, I am finding disparity between median prices and would like to know which source to trust.
If I use the example of Woodville Gardens in Adelaide, that I have just been looking at.

I am looking for a 3 bed house. Or possibly 2 bed with the potential to add a 3rd. Would it be fair to say a good place to start would be to shortlist suburbs with a median price for 3 bed houses around the value I expect mine would be worth post Reno, and then go…[Read more]

I have deposit purchasing costs and pre approval for a 350k property with a further 50k for renovation costs.
I am well connected with local trades and don’t think I’m upto a remote Reno just yet.
I was hoping for positive or at least neutral gearing following the Reno.
Thanks for your interest, I will read through the links…[Read more]

I suppose the reason for Adelaide is I’m not confident enough to purchase unseen for my first one.
I’m looking for 10 year+ hold but early growth for equity would be a bonus.
I am overwhelmed with all the suburbs in one state so I’m not sure I could cope with widening the search!
