Sydney and NSW Real Estate Investing have hit many obstacles in the past 24 months. The latest obstacle has changed the ‘way the real estate investor does business.’ Petrol prices are at an all time high in NSW and travelling in Sydney has never looked so expensive! Real Estate suicide is found in prospecting for properties the old fashioned way. The savvy Real Estate Investor would have noted the more intensified utilization of the internet to obtain properties.
Real Estate sites such as realestate.com.au and domain.com.au have become house hold names amongst every day Australians. Sure, it’s nice to go to your traditional Real Estate shop front and obtain brochures etc. However, most of these shop fronts have their own websites and many Real Estate companies/agents no longer have shop fronts. Many Real Estate agents run their business and promote their properties totally online.
The Real Estate Investor therefore has that option to stay home and search for their properties online. Utilizing RP Data tools and others, research can also be conducted online. Though for a small cost, the real estate investor can have detailed information concerning a particular property without have had to step foot outside or fill up their car with petrol!
Finding properties for sale in Melbourne might be simple but acquiring your dream home is a little harder. Platforms like Soho.com.au help you browse tons of properties, save your favourites and connect with agents with one click.
But let’s take this concept a step further. What has been detailed above is perfectly fine for the average house buyer and the unlearned Real Estate Investor. However, the true Real Estate Investors in Sydney and throughout NSW will not only need to access the real estate agents websites but they will also need to obtain GREAT deals online.
This is where the average Real Estate Investor gets into a pickle. Typically, when a website is run by a real estate agent, the prices will be set at a value that realistically is too high for the investor. The investor is looking for “The Deal”, which is normally made through negotiations with the seller and not the seller’s representative. Why so? Well, Real Estate agents want their commissions and ANY creative investment or purchase strategy that the Real Estate Investor proposes – is often frowned upon by the real estate agent.
Lease options, Property options, wholesale deals, rent to buy etc. are just not looked upon favorably by the real estate agent as it poses a possible reduction from their commissions … or simply they do not understand the ‘creative ‘ side of real estate investing!
Sydney lacks a strong Real Estate Investor community. To be quite honest, it’s very weak. NSW is also run by Real Estate agents or investors entering the ‘coaching’ field. Many will charge for their knowledge, which is understandable … but not really offering a network in which the real estate investor is able to obtain exclusive deals from. Knowledge is power, and I don’t dispute that fact – however there is no denying that an investor needs the great low deal. Sadly the internet will show a lack of Real Estate Networks in Sydney and surrounding NSW.
That is where the author has offered his services to the Real Estate Investing community of NSW and Sydney. A very simple concept really. The author is able to distribute great wholesale deals for the Sydney / NSW Real Estate Investor and build a strong Investing community. The best part of this concept is that there is absolutely no cost to any one involved.
The aim and goal for the author is to be able to unite Sydney and NSW Real Estate Investors where they have an exclusive place to receive wholesale property deals. These properties will range from a home needing to be renovated (ugly house), nice average house, vacant land for development, etc.
Sydney Real Estate Investors will now be able to get a great wholesale deal, see the house or property on their computers, utilize on line tools to check its market value – all from the comforts of home. No more leaving home for the Real Estate Investor.
Wow, the rain has hit Sydney and still NSW Real Estate Investors are able to make fantastic deals!
