First Sighting Of A Desperate Investor

Here's my first sighting of a desperate investor trying to find a renter for a newly built and empty unit. It's in Gordon's Bay so it's a helluva drive to Cape Town. The title:
Brand new!!!!!!!! 2 Bedroom!!!!! URGENT!!!!!!!!!!!!! (R2,200 pcm)

just screams "Help! Mortage payments are bleeding me dry!". And check out the last line:
If you are serious, we can talk about the rent !

so there's even room to negotiate down from R2200 a month.

Good blog, keep it up.

I'm in Joburg. Would be interesting to see what is happening up here. My little investment in Westdene still pulls in way above my minimum repayment. (like R500p/m). Who are these dimwits who bought at those prices in CT without checking rentals first????
