How Many True Property Bargains Are Out There
It is always an interesting question when you ask someone if they got a ‘bargain’.
I often find that this is very relevant to the buyers position because although there are some true bargains out there in terms of being able to buy a property a lot less than its valuation, I believe that some ‘bargains’ don’t actually end up being a ‘bargain’ at the end of the day.
Buying a Bargain
You may be able to pick up a bargain buy buying from a mortgagee sale, an estate or because of a divorce, and good luck to you if you find this the case. Being able to source these buys often requires a very strong connection base in the right places and also being able to fund the purchase at the time that it is available, these latter factors being critical in being able to pull a ‘bargain’ together.
A Bargain that is not a Bargain
Here I am referring to the property that appears that it has been bought cheaply only for the buyer to find out that there are major problems with the property such as massive white ant destruction or major structural problems.
Both of which would totally blow out the budget for a renovation if that was to be the option.
Most bargain properties that do not come from an estate or such like, are bought with the intention of a renovation and property upgrade. The property is cheap because it has not been cared for during its ownership.
So when seeking a bargain make sure that you have checked the property inside and out and that you are not going to come up against any major costly problems.
