Hi there, After a reliable PM that doesn't need babysitting to manage our nearly complete property in Palmerston (Zuccoli). Love to hear from anyone with a good news story about their PM in Darwin region. Cheers

Should have mentioned I am currently with GIO

Hi guys, Sick to death of my current insurance company hiking the prices on our landlords insurance premiums. Can anyone recommend a company that has competitive pricing, yet also provides comprehensive landlords cover? I.e House + minimal contents (enough to cover floor coverings/curtains...

Hi all, Darwin property market has been getting a lot of hype lately. Does anyone have any thoughts they like to share on the new estates/LAN releases ie Zuccoli, Johnstone, Durack Heights, Muirhead Breezes? An off the plan 4x2 will get a reasonable return (6% I'm told), but will there...

Have recently completed a granny flat build and a few house reno's in East Maitland and very happy with our builder/plumber/electrician/landscaper (if only I could say the same about our PM!) Let us know if you still need contacts, happy to dig out the details but as your post is a few months...

Hi guys, Seeking 1 x spot in a Vic/National Pricefinder Group subscription - any groups need an extra person? Thanks!

Thanks! I will look him up :-)

Can anyone recommend a reputable granny flat builder in the Hunter Valley region (Maitland)? As an interstate investor I would like a company that can be trusted to complete satisfactorily without supervision. Thanks!:cool:

Can anyone recommend a good, reliable property manager for Maitland? Don't mind paying a little more, just want the peace of mind as living interstate. Please share your good and bad experiences so I know if there are any to avoid! Thanks, newtothegame :D

Thanks but I am still a little confused...we want to live in it, and we are first home buyers....therefore should be in the first preference group? My interpretation was that first home buyers get preference OVER owner occupiers....then investors make up the 3rd and last preference....

First Home Owners? Can someone clarify for me.... We are interested in going in the South Hedland ballot as first home buyers. We have an investment property in another state that we have never lived in (purchased AFTER July 2000) and as such we are eligible for the FHOG. In my mind we...

Thanks everyone for your replies. Currently living in Port Hedland (2 days drive from Perth) which is why we haven't attended any in Perth. Don't get the chance to get to civilisation very often, hence why I am keen to make the most of our time in Sydney. Appreciate the suggestions and...

Just wondering if anyone knows of or can recommend any reputable investment seminars that are on in Sydney (or surrounds) in the last week of March? Heading over there for a wedding from remote WA and would love to attend anything useful that may be on (Bought out first IP last year and hungry...
