+1 congratulations & thanks to both Darryl and Kristine for their contributions which have helped nudge us along over the years. I really should say thanks to many of the top 50 members at least I reckon. regards, Kenny

Having only driven through Albury-Wodonga briefly, does anyone have any opinions on good and bad areas in the city? Where are the DoH areas? Cheers, Kenny

I've revisited games as the kids grow up and I need to understand what they are on about. Browser based uberstrike is quite popular for a quick fix. No storyline to speak of but you can't complain for the price and lack of need to download/install. Bioshock series are fun if you want...

Thank you to Elliote for posting the hotspot list. Was there any reasoning behind the choices given? A couple like Logan are not really new on her watchlist. Gosford in the central coast is an interesting choice too. May be she is banking on the new council/mayor's reported intention to be...

I've often heard Margaret say on her Your Money Your Call programmes that a hotspot is one where you can pick up a reasonably priced property in a suburb that is just about to take off due to a number of factors at play that will drive it's short term growth. Factors such as an above average...

+1 Andrew Allen. Knows his stuff, a pleasure to chat to and generous with his time. Cheers, Kenny

I think the journey is similar to someone just starting in buying property. Read, Learn. Ask. Read some more. Try some paper trading on a demo account to get the feel for your own tolerances for risks and where your "Sleep at Night" factor is. How do you want to approach choosing stocks, size...

Great website big_head. Found myself strangely captivated by the little plane icons moving around the map.

Umm, all of it caneye. Close enough to wave at the friendly faces in the windows of the planes. http://www.marrickville.nsw.gov.au/marrwr/_assets/main/lib65085/anef_2033_a1l.pdf Cheers,

I agree with DaveM. I would be guessing mid 8's or higher. Out of interest; last traded 18/08/2003 for $250000 which I don't think was market value at the time. Good luck, luckyrooster. Cheers

+1 NickM. Nick will provide excellent support and has a good team working for him. It's always a good idea to arrange a meeting and get to know the person who may become part of your essential team. You need to get along and be on the same page when it comes to making decisions and giving...

Hi Chilliblue, Thanks for the pointers. I appreciate the quick reply. As I learn more about CIP, I realise how different the mindset has to be to resi investing sometimes. It's a cashflow proposition and the valuation seems tied to the yield. I get the feeling the quality of the tenant and...

Hi Scott NM, A mixed use terrace in Surry Hills, near William st. Hoping to keep it commercial but could fall back to resi in desperation. Regards, Kenny

In the same way that one should look for certain attributes in a resi property manager, I was hoping for some pointers on what to look for in choosing a commercial leasing agent; in my case in Sydney. What questions should I ask them and what to look for? Thanks in advance. regards...

Just tried to take out Landlord's insurance with Suncorp. It turns out that they will only insure any property with an attached wall if you own the whole building. The nice lady on the phone patiently clarified that by giving the examples of say both duplexes or semi's, the whole unit block, the...

Thanks for the updates Andrew. Drilling down into the data, are there certain areas supporting the Brisbane market results more than others? I suspect I'm not sitting here alone on the sidelines. Regards, Kenny

I agree. That's a great point about what you will get in writing and what you can get from chatting to the inspector/valuer/neighbour, Propertunity. I've decided it's almost essential to attend any building/pest inspection to hear what they say as it won;t be what they necessarily put down in...

This is a great thread. Thanks to the locals posting who have sparked my interest in this area. A map of potential flood areas in the Newcastle flood plain area can be found here but the detail is vague; http://www.newcastle.nsw.gov.au/environment/waterways_and_flooding/living_with_floods...

Thanks Sim' for the vigilance and quick response.

Hi Mike, That's a nice vanity. Do you mind saying where we can get one of those? Is it from Splash with the "molten rock" glass top? Cheers, Kenny
