Hi, I’m Rachael Goldsworthy, and I’ve just come from dropping off the set of keys and a nice little settlement gift to a purchaser that bought a house from me in South Windsor. Lovely couple, and they had a bit of a hiccup with their settlement. They weren’t going to be settling on time, and sometimes that does happen with settlements prior to, so you’ve got a standard 42 day settlement or six week settlement, and sometimes the banks or whoever it may be might not be ready to settle from the purchaser’s side or the vendor’s side. Expect little delays, but sometimes, or generally speaking they can be ironed out. It’s not such a problem in the end.
These particular people looked like that they were going to have to wait an additional three or four days for the settlement, but we were able to pull that together on time. The discharge of mortgage hadn’t been signed by one of the parties, but that was all done and set off to the bank in a quick manner. They were able to settle on time.
Just a nice part of my job, I suppose dropping off keys and settlement gifts to people that are really happy with their purchase. And equally vendors that have sold with me that are happy moving onto their next property. If you’ve got any questions in regards to your settlement or purchase, I’d be more than happy to help you. I’ll catch up with you on the next video.
Hi. My name is Rachael Goldsworthy, and I’ve just come from a house in South Windsor. The owner has just settled in the last couple of days, and they’ve purchased a home from another agent who had a mortgage in possession sale. They have managed to secure the property a little bit more affordably than normally, so they got a bit of a discount on the sale price. Want to do it up quickly and then turn the property over. Often i find my clients ring me up and ask me what they could do to improve the value of the property, and turn it over quickly so that they can get a good return on it.
It’s really important when you’re doing these sorts of promotions, and also sorts of renovations that you do the right renovations because if you spend a lot of money with the principal and of putting things there that you would ordinarily like if you lived in the house, I can tell you right now you’re not going to make any money on the property. The reason being is we get involved with the process. We get emotionally attached to the process, which is okay, but equally is a lot of money involved when we like things that we like, and we put them in the homes and then they just cost us a lot more money.
I guess my advice to you is when you’re renovating a home for profit, make sure that you don’t spend it as though you were going to live in it. For example, in the kitchen instead of a particular style of appliances, stainless steel appliances, just go for the low end or the middle range as opposed to the top end. You wouldn’t be going for the De’Longhi. You would be going for something like Whirlpool or Westinghouse. Still good brands. Still recognised by the buyers as good brands, but it won’t cost you as much, and you’ll be able to get a higher profit on the sale process.
That’s I guess in essence what I’ve been looking at. Make sure that when you are renovating for profit that you look at the costs. Also, do a layout of the costs, what you’re looking at promoting, what you’re looking at renovating, and then do that list. Then from that list, work out what the costs are and find out what’s a priority and what’s really just a wish list, so that you make sure you do the priority items prior to doing the wish list and that way you won’t run out of money prior to putting the house on the market. And you’ll make a nice little profit for yourself. All right, well I’m Rachael Goldsworthy, and I look forward to catching up with you on the next video.

Hi, my name’s Rachael Goldsworthy, and today I want to talk to you about open inspections for rental properties.
When you’re attending that as a potential tenant, what’s always best to do is make sure that you have all of your information ready to go. I’ve just come from one in McGraths Hill, we had about 25, to 30 people through the open home, so lots of interest, especially at the moment. It’s a fairly hot market with the rental markets, so it’s always advised that you get in and get your information in as soon as possible to give yourself the best chance.
The second thing I would recommend that you do with that is also have the documentation to back it up. If you don’t have the documentation ready to go, you like the home, the chances are somebody else will have that documentation ready to go, and it makes it very difficult for you to attain that property that you want to attain unless you have everything there, as I say.
Number one: turn up to the inspection, number two: make sure you’ve got your 100 point check ready to go, and number three: fill in your application as soon as you possibly can, so that you can get the best possible chance to attain that rental property that you’re after.
All right. I’m Rachael Goldsworthy, and I’ll catch up with you next time.
