Hi Lethia, Please continue on PropertyChat. Very interested. Did you get slapped with infrastructure charges on this splitter like WilliamB did here: http://somersoft.com/forums/showthread.php?t=107750? Thanks, Junie

Thank you very sincerely from the bottom of my heart for this amazing effort by Jan, Ian, and Simon.

I called the REA and asked nicely (found out online - for rent ad for that neighbour). REA asked the owner, who told the tenants to cooperate. My plumbers and engineers went to their backyard with minimal distruption to access the stormwater manhole and did their things. Goodluck.

Good for your William! Hard work paid off. But isn't it bad for other investors who were offered "discounts"? They are not consistent. It is still a sour approach by them. Heavy hearts for future investors who's gotta fight the same way.

Hello investors, Could you please shed me some light on the above suburbs? We love acreage properties but never bought one in Brisbane. We love this suburb because it's only 30 minutes from the CBD and you could get acreage for under $1m. Strategy: Buy now - rent out for 2 years and...

Does this look right? Contract sell price : $390,000 Less Contract purchase price : $330,000 Less Legals : $2,500 Less Stamp Duty : $10,800 Less Agent?s fee : $7,800 Capital gain : $38,900 30% company tax (if it is that): $11,670 Net profit : $27,230

Thanks, Westminster. That makes sense. Didn't know Perth has double brick construction requirements.

Please keep posting WilliamB. I like your style. Don't take any crap. I'm looking at Brisbane for a small development this year. What's a splitting block? Is it a duplex site? Battle axe land subdividing? Just not very familar with QLD. Thanks.

Is $475-525k for 2 x 4 bedroom houses or just one house? Why is double story more expensive? (Might sound like a silly question but hey - gotta ask). Thanks!

Hi Jerrybee, Wow, that's almost a $1m if I wanna buy in now in Robertson or Sunnybank. I didn't expect that much capital growth for a suburb in Brisbane either. That's equivalent to inner city Leichhardt or Newtown here in Sydeny! But what's causing this price increase in Robertson /...

Thanks ej89. I'll check it out. I'm still looking for one. I'm a bit picky because I know what I want. Hope I find one that clicks with me. :)

Hi Coota, would you recommend a BA in Brisbane please? I am looking for one. Thanks heaps! Jsoe

I'm looking for a BA. Yes. Hi guys, ummm pretty heavy forum. Just my 2cents. I'm looking for (and yes will be using) a BA in Brisbane and surrounding areas. Because I am now living and working overseas and still wanna keep investing. I need someone to do the leg work and I don't mind...

Hi guys, I'm hearing about this annual Event organised by Ray White Surfers Paradise Group where they auction off Gold Coast properties in January to 200,000 or so buyers. They collate premium properties and apartments. Has anyone been to it? My parents are thinking of selling their 4 bed 2...

Thanks for digging this a bit further for me Serge. I rang to pay the fees just now anyway - let's just get it over and done with and start the build. There's no one able to take payment over the phone so they'll call me back today with their EFPOTS machine person. :\
