Nah……definately don’t think your mad – makes your dollar go further and halves the risk, but make sure you sort your goals out beforehand and your both are on the same wave length. If someone changes their mind things could get sticky. It might pay to get some sort of agreement written up by a solicitor.

We invest with partners but usually…[Read more]

Hey Wayne/Squeek,

I would also be checking out the coastal areas between Lancelin and Geraldton!!

Gidday,

I’m not about to give all my secrets away……but if you search google on mining western australia….you may come up with something. There are a few towns in WA that are experiencing growth due to the mining industry, some larger than others….but I assure you there are plenty to be found if you dig around.

good luck

Hi Deb,

How about looking further afield……there are still some country areas in WA worth a look!!

Hi guys,

Havent been online for a while……been busy sourcing more investment properties!!!

Investing in property started for us only three years ago apart from our PPOR. I was working part-time and my husband was self employed only 2 years in to the business and no income to speak of.

Sheer determination got us through. We were told time…[Read more]

We’ve recently sold a property and had great success in negotiating a commission with the agent. If your selling in Perth, the ball is definately in your court and the agent really doesn’t have to do much work. They are crying out for listings and are very flexible when it comes to commission. We went open listing and wrote our own clauses on…[Read more]

Hi Kate,

My IP was untennanted at the time so showing people through was not a problem. It was by appointment though.

sq

Hi Kate,

I managed to see one of our IP’s privately and I found that it was reasonably hassle free. I believe you have to be very organised. I was and had a couple of blank O&A contracts, copy of title and recent rental appraisals on hand. I advertised in the Free local paper (WA – Quokka), in the main real estate paper “The West Australian”…[Read more]

kp, we’re almost neighbours – Lot 62 Board Street is ours!

We havent even thought about who we are building with yet and we are still tossing around in our head double storey as well. We’ve still got plenty of time fortunately.

sq

kp,

Yep we’ve made a cool 45K so far based on Stage 4 prices, but I think the position of our block should add more value than that too!

very happy…..sq

Coming from a “Poor Dad” upbringing, I was never immersed in investing at all. You want to get ahead, you work hard and stay employed was my dad’s motto. However….this is certainly not my motto. I have a “Rich Dad” attitude now and by investing, talking & breathing investing as if it is a NORMAL part of life and spending lots of time with my…[Read more]

Hi Wayne

I rang Rod thismorning at 10.00am and they were basically all sold, bar one or two! Some people camped overnight apparently in the hope they would be released thismorning (very wise!!). I was supposed to act as proxy for a guy in Melbourne who wanted one, but he missed out as I wasn’t able to get there any earlier than 10.00am.

Quite…[Read more]

Hi all and thanks for the feedback.

Todd I have put on the agreement that the Agents commission is (dollar amount negotiable) and I also have put on the contact that he has the authority to act as our selling agent UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE (24 hours notice only is required).

Selling privately – yes I’ve had a lot of bites, but no-one has shown any…[Read more]

Hey A,

I think we are laughing all the way to the bank………..I rang Wayne Brown Friday and there were 4 campers there then! Its getting pretty ridiculous I think…..8 days of camping – you’d almost be classed as desperate. Anyway what release did you buy in – we bought in release 9.

Hi Stephen,

I have used http://www.yourestate.com.au before to list property that I have been selling and have good results.

Good Luck

Hi guys, another Perthite hoping to cash in on our current cycle – I’ll be selling at least one this year and will be travelling along the same road as you Redwing! Top up some loans and access the equity for a couple of other projects that I have on the go. I think Perth has still got some legs with the way our economy is going and there is…[Read more]

Mmmmm I agree with Derek on this one. I’d be careful, but then again you could get lucky depending on when you sell it – hard to predict!!! A bit speculative I feel!

sq

I’d be looking at Sinagra in preference to Somerly. It all depends what you intend to do with the property though.

Hi Mitchy,

First of all get yourself a good mortgage broker and ask them about using deposit bonds. You pay a premium (like insurance) and they put forward the deposit. The premium is not refundable but is tax deductable…….or scrimp, borrow from relations and offer them interest on their money. Hope I’ve helped.
