Greenland . How do you buy a country?

[McDuck]

People have ridiculed Donald for offering to buy Greenland.

After a bit of research, I found out that it's not the first time America has offered to buy Greenland.

And that there is already a huge US base there.

And that the land itself is full of Eskimo type...

Morning
Last year we bought a property that is slightly affected by a floodway. We did heaps of due diligence, checked property file, asked very pointed questions of the agent etc.
When we made an offer the owners inserted a clause that stated we were happy with due diligence on flood issues....

Hello folks,

My wife and I have a live offer on a property which is a nicely renovated 1950s home. At some point they have put in a small second bathroom downstairs (post 2000s I believe). There is nothing in the property file or LIM about it. I have an offer of finance that requires...

Hi all,

We're wanting to buy our first investment property, and have decided (pretty much...) to go with a stand-alone new house and hold for around 10 years. We're based in the Waikato but are considering a new build in Rolleston or Lincoln...any thoughts on the wisdom of this? Any other...

Hi all

We made an unconditional offer for a property which after some clowning around by the vendor was finally accepted when we said we would walk away if they didn't knuckle down and sort it out.

The vendor is a bit of a know-it-all and trying to get out of paying GST...

What do most of the investors here do with existing TA when buying a new property?

Sometimes it depends somewhat on how good the existing TA's are.

How do you arrange for the final inspection to be made under the old owners?

Hi all,

I am now considering a unit which is for sale and is on the unit title with BC and collective ownership of land. I understand that this type is less attractive comparing to free hold and cross-lease. Is there a standard discount that accounts for this factor?

Let say...

[Frezzinghot]

For those of you that are still active in the market, I just want to know what discount levels you are achieving in Auckland at the moment. What some real gems you have managed to negotiate, is there much competition. From agents I know in my area sales are very slow and taking longer to sell.

they could make the toilet look as...
