have pm’d you…

cheers

you have more than just a few issues to consider with this one. obviously the first relates to the zoning and allowable Gross Floor Area of the site in question…some councils allow a higher GFA if close to major arterials and railways. On a 1200 block in Brisbane where I am you could get 6 decent size townhouses (100m2) or more if…[Read more]

i understand the hatred of agents in general, but they’re not all like that. I am an agent in Brisbane and find conduct like this reprehensible…it annoys me on daily basis with some of the behaviour that i see other agents engaging in but that doesn’t mean that I or my colleagues at our agency behave like that.

Outside of…[Read more]

i am an agent in Brisbane…what you are saying is true, many agents operate as independent business that “sub-contracts” to the agency…and therefore tend to flog their own listings.

one way around this is to look at their website or go to the agency and get the “properties for sale book” that they should have out on display – it enables…[Read more]

as an investor and licenced real estate agent I find two things to be true.

1) there is always bargains to be had in any market. Yes they are harder to find when the market is going south, but they are still there.

2) The market is only as difficult for you as you let it be yourself…the more homework (due diligence) you do and the more…[Read more]

thanks for that great reply…i’ll take plenty away from it and that is what I was hoping for…

I have dropped the rent from 220pw to 200pw and now again to 190pw…have had the place cleaned and new locks put on, yard is being looked after etc…just doesn’t seem to be influx of workers this year that i’ve seen in the past…place is…[Read more]

there is a Urologist in Brisbane named Dr Winkle…I am led to believe his motto is “if you have a problem with your twinkle come and see Dr Winkle”

I used to work for Police Communications – they answer the triple zero police related calls put through from Telstra and handle the despatching of cars etc…one of the guys in the radio room…[Read more]

it is far better to lower your price by 10-20 bucks (or more) and getting someone in cheaply than having you unit sit idle for long periods of time…if you get a good long term tennant you can always raise rents down the track.

you could also consider adding other incentives to the mix as suggested in some other posts and…[Read more]

I am still REALLY new to all this and whilst I am on a really steep learning curve, I tend to miss the bigger picture…cheers.

I am on 14 weeks long serviced leave at the moment and am trying to learn as much as I can to really get moving with my investments
