Rick Otton Shows First Home Buyers the Right Way To Make Truly Affordable Housing Deals
(PRWEB) October 09, 2013 -- Having mentored over 30,000 people to help them achieve their property investment goals, Rick Otton reaches out to first home buyers across Australia to introduce techniques on how to make truly affordable housing deals.
The latest Housing Affordability Sentiment Index (HASI) from RealEstate.com.au revealed that 46 percent of people looking for a property for sale are first home buyers, because of dropping household expenses and debt, as well as rising household savings.
A report from Australian Property Investor on 23 September 2013 published the results of HASI and declared that the increase of Gen Y home buyers is driving positive sentiment towards housing affordability in the country.
"Affordability of houses has been a big obstacle for first home owners for many years, and it is good to hear that they are now starting to overcome this big problem. However, before they start picking up ‘affordable’ properties they must be aware that some bargain deals are better than others," according to Mr. Otton in a recent interview.
"First timers usually hire real estate agents so they can find a property for sale at an affordable or bargain price, but the truth is that bargains are created they are not found," according to Mr. Otton.
"Bargains are created because you don’t simply get it by just dropping the price. It’s with flexible payment terms that bargains are made and where the profits are for sellers," he explained.
"Look at it this way, if a seller agrees to sell a house, originally priced at $600,000, for $500,000 you still need to apply for a new home loan with the bank, which usually grants a 30 year mortgage at 7 percent interest rate. If you add up the total cost of the house and the interest rate, the buyer ends up paying 3 times the price of the property. That’s not the true affordability that home buyers want," Mr. Otton said.
"So instead of following the traditional process, first home buyers can turn to creative real estate strategies to create true bargain deals on property for sale. With the help of these solutions, first home buyers can easily buy their first real estate Australia without paying a large amount of deposit or even apply for a new home loan," he added.
