    I guess these phrases are no news to most property investers

    CHARMING – Tiny. Snow White might fit, but five of the dwarfs would have
    to find their own place. See “Cute,” “Enchanting,” and “Good Starter Home.”

    MUCH POTENTIAL – Grim. Steer clear unless you have a lot of money and
    believe your blind dates really did have nice personalities. See
    “Ready to Rehab,” and “Fixer Upper.”

    UNIQUE CITY HOME – Used to be a warehouse.

    HI-TECH/CONTEMPORARY – Lots of steel shelving with little holes – the
    kind your dad used to store tools on in the basement.

    DARING DESIGN – Still a warehouse.

    COMPLETELY UPDATED – Avocado dishwasher and harvest gold carpeting
    or vice versa.

    SOPHISTICATED – Black walls and no windows. See “Architect’s Delight.”

    ONE-OF-A-KIND – Ugly as sin.

    BRILLIANT CONCEPT – Do you really need a two-story live oak in your
    30-foot sky dome? See “Makes Dramatic Statement.”

    UPPER BRACKET – If you have to ask . . .

    YOU’LL LOVE IT – No, you won’t.

    MUST SEE TO BELIEVE – An absolutely accurate statement.

    Or the greatest white wash of an excuse for a neglected building…”Selling just above block value”.

    These are perfect for all REA’s…any problems highlighted, they shrug their shoulders and say “Hey you are getting it for block value.” all the while smiling ‘cos the asking price is 140K more than block value… [blink]

    Close to transport – rail line in your living room

    family neighbourhood – in the housing commission estate area

    investor special – no one but a welfare recipient would ever consider living in it and even then would never pay you a cent in rent

    Investors take note – come on suckers stick this one in your spreadsheet.

    Motivated vendor – whoops we over quoted by 30% to get the listing now we have to do something to explain the price reduction

    2/3 bedroom – vendor sometimes locks kids in the cupboard – they fell asleep in their once so technically its a 3rd bedroom.

    Updated bathroom – someone changed the toilet seat once

    Overseas vendor says sell – I thought all you had to do to own investments is put the numbers in investment detective.

    Cheers
