#therocks #SydneyWhich Ugly Duckling will make you more money?Property Technical2023-05-23 | Ugly ducklings, us property developers have meddled with these since the the dawn of property flipping. But not all ugly ducklings are the same. Some may make you more money than others. One may suit your circumstances more than the other.

But its fun everytime I see it :) #shortsThe $1,500,000 project - Alpine V2 - Property TourProperty Technical2023-04-10 | Alpine V2 was one of the biggest single house project that we embarked on. The design was done to keep it as low maintenance as possible both in short and long term. Inside there are a whole lot of details that were unique for the are or unique in general. The house features soaring high ceilings, three separate kitchens, bathrooms with separate wet and dry areas and the list goes on. One of my favorite things about the property is the walkin closet. Its rich both in size and quality. The property was finished in 2017, so for the time, this house had many features that set itself apart from the rest. There were no 6 bedroom house in the area that is single story.
Originally there was an old home on this plot of land that we quickly renovated to see if it could be offloaded back into the market. At the time there were other commitments, so we preferred to spend our time on those projects. But the market was super slow and no offer were received. So we eventually decided to move forward with this project and finish it.
There was a lot more to cover, and I haven't talked about the technical learnings from this project, which is an interesting discussion for another video. Hope to see you then.

Now if you are wondering what was the cheapest house sold ever, the answer to that would be something like a house sold in exchange for a cow or something, back in the olden days. So we have to place a criteria. I'll be looking out for the records of the upcoming year 2021.

#sydney #propertyMarketSimple tip to increase your chances of getting a rental property.Property Technical2020-10-09 | In this video I talk about one simple tip to increase your chances of getting a rental property. There are plenty of times when I have been to a property inspection for rental and seen a crowd of interested people lining up to check the place out. They are asking questions to the real estate agent, about the features of the property. It seems that many of them will apply to rent this property. All these applications will go to the landlord for his approval. How is he going to pick one. Well, that is where this tip comes in handy. He will not be able to place your application down without approving it.
#rental #propertyWhy staging your home helps it sell for top dollar #itLooksGoodProperty Technical2020-09-02 | There is a reason why staging your home helps it get more attention, drives up the demand and sell for top dollar and quicker. The reason is that we connect to a property by how we feel about it. A big part of doing open house is to get buyers in the house and connect to it. But the buyers are going to many different houses. Plus its stressful, the experience of looking for a house. What cuts right through it all is styling. Makes the buyer feel great to be there, and they take this feeling back with them. So when they are making that all important decision, they are going to remember a styled place more positively.

Enjoy!!Cheap House Facelift under $100 #tightBudgetProperty Technical2019-10-24 | In general there are a whole lot of old houses. That is in and of itself not a bad thing. Home is home. Though, we can most certainly freshen up things from time to time. In this video I'm demonstrating that we can do a quick facelift of a regular single story for under $100. Simply by painting the face of the house, we can take away the tired old look of the house. The choice of paint colour is up to an individual's taste or if the property is heritage listed there are a list of colours to choose from.
End of the day, it is possible to make your house nice and fresh looking at a very low cost and effort. We managed this result in one weekend.
