“Leaking Roof?”No one wants a leaking roof as they can cause excessive damage to your home, wall linings and frames. Most leaking roofs are due to cracks in the roof tiles that are the result of accidental damage. A ball on the roof for example and an over-excited teenager climbing the roof to fetch it can cause a broken or cracked roof tile.
The simple installation of a television antenna can do the same thing.
Your roof should be inspected regularly for cracked tiles or areas that require re-pointing. This really is a job for a qualified tradesman. A regular building inspection will cover this for you and give you the peace of mind you need.
We all know that property can make a great investment. The case to retire on property is easier said than done. To do so one must be disciplined, exercise caution and develop and follow a well considered strategy.
Property has proven to perform over the long-term, in fact it has proven to be the vehicle that has created many millionaires. The secret is establishing a plan for retirement and being able to stick with the plan.
There are two distinct phases to building a property portfolio that can sustain your retirement.
Phase 1: The Acquisition Phase
The key to building a substantial portfolio is using borrowed funds. One must get used to handling large sums of monies and holding high levels of debt.
Don’t let the levels of debt phase you. Only borrow within your means and always ensure your asset value exceeds the debt levels. Always leave a “buffer” in case of the unexpected.
Research the types of properties that make great investments, tenancy advice, and taxation advice and obtain an understanding of how it all works.
Understand that purchasing just one investment property will not enable a retirement lifestyle; rather you will need to understand that a portfolio can be five properties and more in order to achieve an early, wealthy retirement income.
Phase 2: Retire Debt
In order for you to retire and obtain an income from property you eventually need to own your property unencumbered or debt free. This being the case a good strategy is to purchase (over time) a number of investment properties, sit on them as they grow in value and as retirement nears begin to sell some of your portfolio in order to repay all borrowings on those properties you wish to keep.
This will give you a smaller portfolio but a fully owned portfolio. The rental income is yours to keep.
Obtaining the right property for your needs is important to your success. Seek advice from those that have done it before, have an understanding of taxation laws and can show you how to build a retirement nest egg.

Looking for the right home can be an adventure but it’s important not to be seduced by glossy surfaces.
Following are some valuable tips for inspecting properties:

From our initial meeting, Grant’s detailed knowledge of current local market trends, advertising strategies and sales options combined with his honest professional advice allowed us to develop a marketing and sales campaign specifically suited to our needs. His friendly and accommodating nature was reassuring and allowed us to feel at ease during negotiations. Grant’s follow up of potential buyers was exceptional and we were continually updated on all developments. Throughout the whole campaign Grant’s commitment to securing the best possible result for us was evident and when the house sold at auction, as planned, we couldn’t have been happier with the result. Peter Searle
Thank you for the fine work that you put into ensuring that our house was sold within my budget range and in a timely manner. Your efforts were most appreciated.Jim Wiltshire
You folk have been a pleasure to work with from initial purchase of my property, to property management through to the final sale Garth Henniker
I have known Mr Grant Penrose for in excess of 10 years. He has always impressed by his invariable professionalism, real estate knowledge and courtesy, which he combines with an open and welcoming approach. In placing a significant asset in the hands of a real estate agent, one has to have the confidence that one's goals are fully understood and met. In an industry where effective communication underpins successful sales, Grant has, at all times, had the ability to understand my goals and effectively "walk me through" the process. I would have no hesitation in recommending Grant to any prospective purchaser or vendor. His honesty and integrity are beyond reproach and his knowledge of the industry detailed and accurate. Milton S. McColl
We are delighted with the level of service and the promptness of your actions in getting our property onto the market. I think your professional and proactive approach to marketing the property was key to us achieving the sale in such quick time and at a value over the asking price. Jim Wiltshire
I have dealt with both Grant and Christina of RE/MAX Profile over the past 5 years with my home in Kenmore. They are a husband and wife team whom are very dedicated to their clients in every sense. My property has been successfully rented during this time through RE/MAX with little or no disruption to me. I recently placed the property in Grant’s hands for sale and he has worked tirelessly to achieve a positive outcome! He always followed up with me and potential buyer’s every step of the way ensuring a sale would happen. Grant never stopped working the property and always gave me the feedback on a regular basis either by phone call or email. If I was to ever purchase property in Brisbane again I would have no doubt employing Remax to property manage it or sell it. I wish both Christina and Grant and their team all the best in the future and thank them all for working for me and with me over the past 5 years. Kaylene Randall (nee Morris)
We appreciate and are very grateful for your diligence, follow up and professionalism in securing our investment unit in Kelvin Grove. We would have no hesitation in highly recommending your services to prospective clients and look forward to continuing our business with you as our rental Property ManagersRussell and Rae Tewes
This is just a note to say thanks so much for all your hard work in selling my uncles property at 123 Baroona Road, Paddington. We were not only delighted with the result we enjoyed the process too. The written reports outlining every persons comments and daily contact gave us the confidence and information we needed to make informed decisions. We are confident that you gave us the right advice in terms of the marketing strategy and of course were pleased with the 8 registered bidders and competitive bidding which resulted in an excellent price on sale day. I would also like to add that my uncle loves receiving your regular newsletters and would like to continue doing so. Thanks again for working so hard for us.David Martin
John and I wanted to thank you for the wonderful job you did in selling our home at 505 Brookfield Road Kenmore Hills in November 2009. From our past experiences with you we had no hesitation in calling you and “only you” to market our large acreage property. It was tough times and we realised quickly that we needed an upfront agent, one we could trust implicitly with the sale of our home... For us we had no hesitation in choosing you as our agent, and I hope that others who read this testimonial will realise that there is only one decision they need to make and that is to appoint you as their “Agent” with the confidence that upon your advice they can then leave the rest of the job to youRicky and John Grierson
We found Grant to be very organised and efficient, liaising with both my wife in Mackay and myself in PNG, assisting us in the signing off of all relevant documents and taking all the stress out of the whole procedure, on the whole, a very smooth transition! We were very pleased with Grant and as we come into a position to buy more investment property in the near future, Grant will be the first person we call.Bob Chapman
