i Just got a rates notice for my property, $1100 odd, which was expected, but also got a quarterly watter/wastewater access fee of $305!! is this correct?? I was told by council that water was like $400 for the year, makes the returns very poor based on a $170k purchase price

Yeah I share the same sentiments, ,there is one thats almost $80k cheaper then the next cheapest one hence Im weighing up my options, and strange thing is on the council website there is 7m, 7.5m, 8m and 8.5m flood zones, and basically, the property is considered flood zone, but at 7m-8m, the...

bringing up an old thread, In terms of an IP, how do flood zones affect your decision making, obviously, prices are lower, yields are higher, a property I looked at said in the last floods, water almost came into the houses, apparently 3-4 steps from the top, Can anybody give some...

Hi rixter I have never heard of this, is this a new or common thing? are there any drawbacks so as per your example you have $100k in your offset or LOC, you baiscally ask the bank/insurance company to pay you $20k pa for 5 years, I guess once you agree to it, you cant change your mind...

great answer Token FUnder my guess, is that the really smart investors would not have purchased in these areas that have dropped by significant amounts, eg one area im looking at current prices are $130kish, 5-7 years ago they were $220k, prices were about $140k about 3 months ago, current...

thanks mate, all good, I would have preferred they tore the house down and rebuilt it but thats certainly not going to happen:p ive read my policy but its all pretty confusing, other then accomodation for the humans, and animals, can I expect any other form of assistance or measures to make...

I think some people have missed my original question, sure some shoebox on the 100th floor in surfers may have sold for $2mill, and now be worth $1 mill, but for the properties that werent hyped up in the first place, and ignoring those that bought into a particular fallen area for a...
