When I am selling my properties I always hire a full house lot of furniture to create the dream or life style that your property has. Empty houses are a lot harder to sell than beautifully finished properties as most buyers need to see how there furniture would fit etc. Also, have you thought of taking the property to auction with a new…[Read more]

When we first moved to Melbourne we rented a property in Glen Waverley and thought we would buy in this suburb. When we made enquires regarding the two suburbs this is what all the real estate agents told us.
Glen Waverley anywhere within walking distance of the Glen (the local mall) and also if you are in the Glen Waverley High zone.…[Read more]

Why don’t you contact Westan as he lives in this town and will probably know of a company that he personally uses.

He also has an article in the latest API so check this out it makes interesting reading.

After reading your comments on the suburb of North Brighton in Christchurch I feel I have to add some comments on this topic as I feel you really have been very one eyed on this. North Brighton is not the only suburb that gets hit with the eastley wind but New Brighton, South Brighton, North Shore, South Shore, Sumner and most of the…[Read more]

After reading thru all your comments complaining how much there fee’s are and you wait till they have something to offer you before you start wanting to take money away from them for what they have achieved for you, I thought I just have to say something.

Yes there are some agents that should be shot but the ones that are part of…[Read more]

The work you have described is major and you will find you will need permits from your local council. To get your permit on conpletion it will be inspected and if the work is not up to standard it will not get your permit and when you go to sell the property if it does not have permits for the new work it would be impossible to sell.

Just a word of advise. I have know problems getting rental apprasials done if you are looking to secure a new property manager. How do you know you are getting the best possible service unless you shop around you maybe doing yourself out of more cashflow it does pay to talk to more than one property manager.

Yes it is hard to organise tradesman when you are not in the same city but it can be done with the right property manager.

What my husband and I do is we plan a trip back to New Zealand when we want to do a project which is what we are doing in April.

Most of my investment properties have been brought to increase equity by renovating…[Read more]

The answer to your question is yes there is still positive cashflow property available in Christchurch but you will not find them in glossy magazines or probably not the internet as well. I have established a fantastic network of agents now that either email me or phone me first prior to putting there new listings out to the general…[Read more]

Just in the process of securing the same thing except this one is 7 bedrooms all with ensuites and is brand new and be designs specically for students.

The complex does not provide computers and by all accounts the students do not want this as they normally always have there own.

What they want is a rental that covers everything so…[Read more]

I live in the south eastern suburbs and have been a property investor for years and would love to get together with fellow investors and share ideas and deals that have come my way.

Please email me when you have something organised.

I totally agree with Westan that positive cash flow properties are very hard to find in Australia especially NSW or VIC. But I do dissagree with him that they are getting to be harder to find in New Zealand.

I am living in Melbourne now but until recently lived and breathed real estate for a living in Christchurch, New Zealand and have…[Read more]

Well it must be a term they use outside of Christchurch as you would never here that term used in describing the timber finish on Christchurch properties. I have sold many weatherboard homes for Harcourts so it must be a term used in other parts of New Zealand.

I have learnt something for the day.

Trish

Just to to let you know you are mistaken on the term weatherside it is actually called weatherboards.

I have lived in Christchurch most of my life and have worked in the property industry for many years until my husband was transfered to Melbourne.

There are positive cash flow properties in Christchurch but you really need to know where to look and be in close contact with good real estate agents (which are not many).

For eg you can purchase…[Read more]

I am very interested and would appreciate knowing a little more about what you are looking for. I am very experienced in real estate dealings but since having children having been at home but looking for something that I could do that would require me to use some of my skills.

Look forward to hearing from you

Kind Regards
