    My turn to brag !!
    Who said you can’t make money in this market ??
    We bought a 12 year old brick veneer house for $155,000 in September 2005. We spent around $10k on new paint, lights, plumbing and carpet. Six weeks later we have sold it for $239000. After costs we have earned just over $60000 for 6 weeks hard work. Not bad hey !!

    Thats an outstanding achievement Amanda! Congratulations!

    What was the appraised/market value of the property when you purchased it? Just wondering whether most of the profits were made in the purchase or in the reno.

    Regards,
    Ozi

    Excellent work Amanda. Well done.

    You’ll probably get 35 or 40 in your hand at the completion of the deal.

    1K a day tax free is pretty good going in this market.

    Did you have fun doing it and would you be able to repeat it over and over ??

    I sometimes wonder if people check the previous sales figures or just buy the visual dream that you have created….Onya.

    Thanks guys it will feel even better when the contract settles in a couple of weeks. Yes Ozi we bought well but also fixed some problems in the reno that put most people off.

    I don’t mind paying some tax as it means you’ve made a profit. Being an ex-accountant I know ways to minimise the tax bill.
    Finding another deal like this will be hard but we’re always looking !!

    Excellent Amanda… Good on you. Looking at doing the same sort of thing with a property in Qld that I think has the same sort of potential. Will let you know how I go.

    Hi Amanda,

    Great work!! Sounds like you bought well…[biggrin][biggrin]

    Would you care to disclose what area the house was in, or even the state.

    Regards,
