Freer Property and Finance

To Buy the Right Property at the Right Price.......     Just because a property is new, near a city or CBD doesn{t necessarily mean that you must pay a premium nor is it necessarily a {dud{ just because a property is older, or in a remote location. Some of the properties that are performing well now in Sydney for example are in the middle ring suburbs...http://matusik.com.au/charts.php Up to 30% of properties sold are not advertised to the public as some sellers require a quick sale or do not want the expense and inconvenience of going through a lengthy auction process. We are trained in negotiating price.Vendors often prefer dealing directly with companies such as Freer Property and Finance (FPF) because  they know that we represent serious qualified buyers who can make a quick decision when presented with  the right opportunity.To find the Right balance of cash flow and capital growth -  All properties tend to fall into one category or the other so it is important to understand this {trade-off{ in optimising a match for our investor clients.There is also the opportunity to {manufacture{ capital growth through cost effective renovation with the right established property however {off-plan{ purchases can occasionally also work well where careful due diligence is applied to developers and locations.In order to correctly evaluate a potential  {cashflow positive{ property one needs to base valuations on the realistic, long term reliable  cashflow- not the type of cashflow that would come to a stop the moment a mine/ local industry closes down or slows. Property investors generally profit the most by purchasing the right property rather than trying to become developers. Buying the right property carries far less risk and typically generates a higher capital return. We have been recommending the purchase of a quality property in a higher capital growth area, such as a one or two-bedroom apartment/3BR house in Sydney, Brisbane or Perth. Properties in these centres tend to have better capital growth outcomes over time than say property in smaller centres or mining towns with more volatile returns. To Buy in the Right Cycle with the Right Timing .......  eg. our position that the Reserve Bank  moved too quickly to normalise the cash rate has been vindicated with a 25 BP rate cut on Melbourne Cup Day and again the following month. This was followed by a 50BP rate cut in May. With ongoing weakness in the US and European economies as well as signs of a slowing Chinese economy, further cash rate cuts are likely this year.More than 106,000 people who rent in Sydney face difficulties meeting the basic costs of living, according to Housing Costs Through the Roof, a report compiled by the National Centre for Social and Economic Modelling at the University of Canberra on behalf of Australians for Affordable Housing. (October 2011)The report examined households that earned the lowest 40% of incomes – taking family size into account – who spend 30% or more of their earnings on rent or mortgage payments.On this basis, over 73,000 or 12% of mortgage holders in Sydney are in housing stress, with the figures even higher for first-home buyers, indicating 15% (just over 15,000) are struggling to make ends meet.When acting as a buyers agent we only get paid on results (other than a nominal engagement fee). Our fee is usually based on 20% of the discount obtained off the asking price of the property. {NO Discount - no fee{ policy: if we can{t negotiate a discount then there will be NO Fee.That{s our guarantee for residential property.
