Question: If you want to put in a written offer, can the agent say no because he’s not happy with the price?

“John and when you have found one vendor find a lender who will accept it in the current climate.”

NO NO NO NO!  I'm new to property investing but even I can see that's so wrong.  The guy is ripping you off.  Everything he's talking about, you can do yourself.  Yes it will take time and if anything you'd be better off going to a reno kings workshop or something to get yourself educated.  It'd be a hell of alot cheaper than forking out…[Read more]

Could you possibly run through the scenario for Don in regards to a second mortgage.

Appreciate your time.
