RentFresh ? Hi, I am wondering if anyone has any experience with RentFresh Property Management in Brisbane and could share ? Or please recommend a good one for inner South of Bris. Pls feel free to pm me if confidentiality is needed. This financial year I have had a few long vacancies so...

Thank you all for the suggestions. And more details: Their kids are moving to Syd so they want to investigate to see where they can afford to move to. 40 mins drive because they don't want to be too far, for they and the kids to visit each other. And because they think with 1+M on water in...

Dear forum, A relative (retired couple) from Adelaide is moving to Sydney and wish to buy a waterfront house. With budget is in the 1M+ they hope they could find something about 40 ish mins drive from CBD. It will be their ppor not a weekender. Any ideas if such a thing exists and if so...

Talented people who are serious about getting one of the top MBA quals may want to google INSEAD. Once you are in, the international network is fantastic and its yours for life. Entry is very competitive and school fee is also a big investment.

No "someone external" was not what I was suggesting. My point was that the demonstrastors knews about those old dirty tactics of the Chinese commies and therefore tried to remain calm so did not fall into the trap.

I escaped from a commi country and people like us know the china government dirty tactic very well. Those "citizens" are from the mainland hired by the commi government to disturb the demonstration so that the police have a reason to interfere. Demonstrators were briefed about this tactic hence...

Leann said: Leann was a new employee in a kitchen and already quickly decided she knew more than the head chef, rather than take a different attitude and first try to see if the chef cook had anything different to lean from. With that attitude I do believe they told Leann the truth , that...

I am another one, exactly to the thinking about boat, on and off for 10 yrs and still not buying one. We travel a fair bit these days due to kid living overseas though, so it's certain now that no boat for us.

Yes agreed. Those old inner city solid brick 6 or 8 pack units have a good % of associated land and low corp fee, are still good value now. Units in highrises with no characters are different stories.

I used to always go for inner city suburbs as my belief was better capital gain if closer to city. Now I am not sure that this is true if you invest for the long term. Over the years I see in the long run they all go up and if you do good research buying in the up-coming burbs , close to...

What are you developing Derek ?

Hi Taku, If it is just for pure investment purpose, in general with 400K I personally would buy a house a bit further (15K isk ) close to train or busway, rather than a 1 or 2 bed unit. I did buy old 2 bed units in the inner ring of Bris a while back, stil have them, but if I could do it again...

Love the above Katheryn. KayTea, Not sure what you teach, may be you could also do after school hrs private tutor for extra income. Some Bris investors met every so often, have you thought of joining them ?

Fourty something ... when i first joint SS. Now I am over 50. I have not made any new purchase for a long time to concentrate on shares in my SMSF ready for hopefully some relaxing golden years. While helping relatives to get IPs recently, I get excited again, itchy when I see...

Including PPOR I vote 9 but if counting tenancies then would be another 36, total 45, because of the lic guest houses.
