Would you believe NOTHING, NIL, ZILCH, ZIP.
And everyone pays exactly the same set rate. (Of course !!!).

Yes. But the property MUST meet our criteria of being an income producing property, or be intended to be so.

YES !!!

At the time of creating this web site, our owner and managing director was a licenced real estate agent in Queensland and he has always been incensed at how expensive real estate advertising can be, so when he planned this site it was decided from the start that advertising costs would be very very affordable.

First click on the 'WANTING TO ADVERTISE WITH US?' panel on the right hand side of the HOME PAGE, and read the 'Wanting to Advertise with us' page fully. Then, follow the process and add your details to the list shown. After you have completed this list and read the Terms and Conditions of Use, and ticked that you have done so, the site will then invite you to upload an advert. If necessary, use the Google Picasa tool to minimise copies of your property's photographs to the recommended size, and upload as many as 6 photo's and a logo onto your advert, place your property's description as requested, and then upload the whole thing to the web site. It's that simple !! After that, if you want to, or NEED TO, you can go to the ADVERTISER LOG IN, at the HOME PAGE, and click on the panel. Then log in using your e mail address and password, and simply select your advert and add to, subtract from, or simply change, ANYTHING you want to.
And don't forget, you are able to upload an UNLIMITED number of adverts.
If you can't work out how to do what is needed, send an e mail via CONTACT US, and we will answer you just as soon as we can.

Anyone at all so long as they are the owner of the property or a duly appointed agent, and they advertise an income producing property or a property with that potential, and minimise puffery. (Which is over exaggeration, and/or stretching the truth more than just a little !!!).

You most certainly can, and we encourage you to do so. Every advertiser has the opportunity to upload up to six photographs and a logo onto the web site, and add comments in the section describing the property in your own words. And if you want to, or need to, you can AT ANY TIME, change the advert. It's YOUR choice. (See the HOW DO I PUT AN INCOME EARNING PROPERTY onto the Buy To Rent web site - ABOVE).

Only the time you take. There is no dollar cost so that you can look and learn much of what you need to know about income producing property in the comfort and privacy of your own home with a complete absence of any pressure, or the presence of any other person.

Once you have uploaded your advert, we will allow you and everyone, a totally cost free period to have your property displayed on our web site. After that period has passed, we will remove your advert at our discretion. So, if you place your advert on any day of the month it will stay advertised on the site until it has been displayed for 30 complete days (if a 30 day period is selected).

The short answer is NO you don't. BUT remember, every potential purchaser may feel that more information is better than less information. This could mean that more information supplied in your advert on Buy To Rent is more useful to the decision making process of your potential purchaser, therefore making the sale of your property more likely rather than simply being discarded because you have supplied insufficient information.

Yes you can, under the same rules as stated above, and the property must be, or have recently been, or is intended to be, an income producing rental property, be it a flat, unit, townhouse, house, office, industrial shed etc., or even income producing land. And please remember, You MUST minimise puffery.

Yes you can, we welcome the very people this site was designed for, investors, but please remember the same rules apply to you and everyone, income producing property (actual or planned) ONLY is permitted to be advertised, and, PLEASE minimise puffery.

Unless we are subpoenaed by the law to do so, definitely not. In the normal course of our business that is a definite no no.

You'd better believe it !!!

Because we are firm believers in risk minimization. If you don't understand what this is you should learn much more about investing in anything before you make your next move.

Of course they can, and as you probably don't want that to happen to you, that is the number one reason why you should embark on a learning curve of property investment knowledge so you will minimize this happening to you

You've made a first step down that track by looking on this web site. There are many other such places to learn, try asking your accountant, your real estate agent or your solicitor, or perhaps your local TAFE College.

We suggest you contact your accountant, your local bank and perhaps your local mortgage broker.

You'll have to be guided by someone from the above category for the answer to that question, but we think you will be pleasantly surprised at how well you are treated by the financial world when you tell them you are, or intend to be, a property investor.

No we do not. Not because we distrust any suppliers of service to the property investor industry, simply because we really don't know who is best at what they do.

Wow, what a question, but the short answer is how much knowledge do you have about this subject, and how well do you know the law of your country, state or territory. We are not in any way expert of the laws of anywhere, so if we owned any property investment we would most definitely appoint a specialised property manager. By the way, did you know that (generally speaking) where there may be income produced, property management fee's are tax deductible?, ask your accountant.

We think you will be pleasantly surprised to learn that you can upload ALL of those properties you mention for the extremely low cost of just ZILCH, ZERO, NOTHING, IT'S FREE !!! WELCOME TO BUY TO RENT.

You most certainly can. Buy To Rent is proud to host investment property advertising in every State and Territory of Australia and both North and South Islands of New Zealand. To make matters easy for all, please ensure that the listing price for all of your properties are shown in NEW ZEALAND Dollars.
We are extremely happy to host any and all income producing properties from New Zealand real estate agents, developers and anyone else who makes income producing property available to investors.

Unlike many other real estate web sites, Buy To Rent is looking at income producing property. This often means that a tenant lives at the property and pays rent to the lessor (Landlord). We should all be aware that there are privacy issues at stake here, and a rent paying tenant has the right to privacy. For that reason, this Buy To Rent web site does not identify a street name, or the exact place in a suburb a property might be.

Exactly the same rate as everyone else, ie, each of your locations is treated as an individual entity and each will be required to pay for an unlimited number of properties advertised, and for the same time periods as everyone else too. For instance, for each location at which you have display homes you pay absoltely NOTHING AT ALL. . So if you have homes and staff at 4 display area's, your dollar outlay will be only 4 times Nothing = ZILCH. Good or what??

First and most importantly, this web site is intended to be used for advertising income producing property, rented to a tenant or with the potential to be rented to a tenant, who makes a payment to the owner of that property. Also included can be Newly Built property, INTENDED for investors who will then tenant that property or sell it at a profit, ie purchasing off the plan. Very importantly, YOU are responsible to YOURSELF to determine whether any information you might be exposed to is beneficial or otherwise TO YOU. We insist that everything on this site MUST be factual and we reserve the right to remove any advert or advertiser for any reason we see fit. All property advertised on this site MUST be income producing or intended to be income producing, and be of interest to property investors. When uploading an advert, ALL questions in the list relating to the property and marked by a red asterix, MUST be answered. If you don't understand the terms used or the calculations required, see our TERMS list. But please be aware, AS A PROSPECTIVE PURCHASER,YOU must satisfy YOURSELF, that everything you act on is suitable to YOU.

For Visitors - Probably the first thing this web site should be used for is to get a feel for property and values in the area in which you might be interested. You will find the answers to many very important questions answered on this site that you didn't even know to ask!!
Get informed and be educated in this area before you make a move, that's the way to go.
For Advertisers - Is there a better and less expensive place to expose your income producing investment property for sale? We don't think so.
