Top tactics for increasing equity

By Reporter
0

Victor Kumar, director, Right Property Group

One of the easiest ways to increase your equity in a property is to obviously undertake a cosmetic renovation. Now one of the rules of thumb that most people implement is that for every dollar that you spend on renovation you need to be making at least $3 in equity. Now often that does not work out because if you're focussing totally on properties with renovation potential the first step is to actually  buy it at the right price. So it spall starts with buying that property at the right price so that you can actually manufacture the equity.

Property investors are now able to identify and bid on auctions remotely using a new live-streaming functionality launched by Gavl.

"
  ["fulltext"]=>
  string(1540) "

Called “Request an Auction”, the new functionality enables users to watch and bid on any Sydney or Melbourne auction remotely.


Through Gavl, prospective buyers are now able to register to bid on their preferred auction. The platform will obtain permission from the listing agent and confirm within 48 hours.


Vendors can also request to have their auctions broadcast to a larger buyer audience.


Co-founder Joel Smith said that auctions streamed on Gavl attract 47 per cent more viewers than traditional ones.


He said that Request an Auction will be valuable for remote buyers.


“Buyers are able to have Gavl attend any auction they nominate, so they will never have to miss out on an opportunity due to logistical complications in physically attending the auction.


“Vendors, too, have the opportunity to directly book an auction with us, so they can open up their event to buyers all around the world. With more potential buyers, they’re giving their property the chance to receive more bids and maximise their sales result.”


Mr Smith said that prior to the Request an Auction app, buyers were limited to what they could achieve through the Gavl technology.


Gavl is a live-streaming and bidding platform for real estate auctions.


Mr Smith said that it has streamed more than 6,000 auctions, which have achieved 3.5 million views from 50 countries.


Gavl’s Request an Auction function is currently being offered in Melbourne and Sydney only.

Having to split her time between Hong Kong and her original base of Sydney has not slowed Julia Tita’s goal of building a high-performance Australian property portfolio. Instead the resulting alterations to her strategy have positively impacted her investing success.

Having recently purchased her 6th property, Julia joins host Tim Neary to discuss her journey, share her ups and downs over the years, and reveal her thoughts on why some properties are better than others. 

Julia also explains why she no longer makes a move without the help of a buyer’s agent, why working with a strong team of specialists is extremely important and discloses her long-term property ambitions.
