Rick Otton Explains the Benefits of Alternative and Flexible Payment Terms When Buying Sydney Property
(PRWEB) August 02, 2013 -- Rick Otton, author of How To Buy A House For A Dollar, announced that he will host a one-day seminar in Sydney on 7 August, free of charge, to help home buyers navigate the increasingly competitive search for property in Sydney.
The new home buyer’s index (HBI) reveals that Sydney is the top seller’s market in New South Wales (NSW) with low supply of dwellings and high population growth. This means that home buyers in the harbour city outnumber the volume of houses and units for sale, despite the recent increase of Sydney property development.
According to a news report, Sydney was classified as a buyer’s market last year and this shift would create many opportunities for both buyers and sellers.
“Buyers would have to realize that even if an area is a buyer or seller’s market they would still have a hard time buying Sydney property because the banks are approving lesser number of loans, and in this situation only creative real estate processes can help them buy and sell houses easily,” according to Mr. Otton.
“These processes are effective for post-recession economies because it doesn’t rely on traditional systems of housing finance. Instead, it relies on alternative and flexible payment terms such as rent to buy or instalment contracts,” he explained.
Mr. Otton explained the difference of instalment contract and rent to buy or lease options in a recent episode of Creative Real Estate iTunes podcast.
“Rent to buy or lease option is suitable for people who can only pay a small amount of deposit or those that have questionable credit. This deal gives the renter an option to buy the unit or house he is living in upon expiration of the lease contract,” Mr. Otton said.
“Instalment contracts, on the other hand, provide more upfront money for sellers, but it is more complicated to execute and buyers would require the assistance of solicitors,” according to Mr. Otton.
“Whatever payment terms the buyers and sellers agree to follow every deal with creative real estate processes guarantee benefits for all parties involved, regardless of the status of the Sydney property market,” Mr. Otton shared.
