    advice needed on first investment property

    The vacant and developable land from Park Ridge extends west through Jimboomba, pretty much all the way to Charleville. The area is akin to the development at yarrabilba (did you post on that one as well)? I wouldn't touch either. The only H and L that has seemed worth considering is the...

    advice needed on first investment property

    JohnHenry, I'm confused with your posts. In the other thread, you state this: "Because so far, I'm not a big fan of OTP or brand new IP due to the overstock risk." Furthermore, I doubt you can get from Park Ridge to the CBD in 30 minutes, at any time you would reasonably wish to get...

    Selling a previous PPOR with DA - tax effect?

    Are there any tax considerations in selling a previous PPOR (well within 6 years of moving out) with a DA in place? The goal being a higher selling price? How does it effect CGT, if at all? Can you claim the expense as deductible if it is established whilst the property is an IP with...

    MERS in South Korea

    They don't. This is "Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome". Until now, all cases had lived and/or travelled in the Middle East.

    Is it a good time to buy a PPOR in Brisbane?

    You can still buy within 10k of Bris CBD for 550k on the south side (I don't know the north side well enough to comment). Look harder. In no way does 550k mandate you buying in Logan.

    Development/DA advice

    Interestingly, I tried to contact the developer before he got going, I would have struck a deal and he could have built 20.

    Cairns, House and land.

    The main contingent of the woodshed won't even be out of bed by 8pm. Just don't eat off the tables if food falls off your plate. The woodshed was always the mark of a cracking good night, and the harbinger of much pain the next day.
