Hi Craig, I am pretty familiar with the Canberra market, I would pick the foreshore over Braddon or Turner. If you are going to furnish, you want to be in the Parliamentary triangle to get top $$. Kingston has a village feel that Braddon lacks, and although someone said it is filled with...

good PM in Canberra I have used a few in Canberra and I can happily recommend Terese Dempsey at Bright Partners, (in Manuka - but they do manage all over) she is very experienced, professional and gets back to you when she says she will. She is very organised and straight to the point. I...

canberra meetup We are moving to Canberra next week, so would really like to meet like minded investors... I am happy to help organise things, surely there would only be a handful of people who will turn up, so maybe the suggestion of someones house is a great idea (as is a cold beer...lol)...

Perth... I have a few properties in Perth and my thoughts are... If the vacancy rate is up, then I would put the property on the market at a lower rental amount (say $10 less per week). That way you get someone in to rent and the great thing about Perth is you can increase your rents every 6...

Has anyone had any success in creating a strata on a block of units that have a sepp 10 or 5 on them...??? I am looking at a block of units that has a sepp 10 on it. I plan to hold the block for many, many years, so I don't need to strata it now, but in the long term it would be...

subdivide in Canberra Hey there Just a few thoughts... Not sure if you are aware that as of March 31, 2009 there will be no more subdividing allowed in Canberra. Even if you have bought a property to do this, you must have your approval and your slab down by this date for it to be...

where to buy for under 200K There are some good areas in Perth...the market there seems to be moving a little and the rents are strong! Suburbs close to the city and on good public transport...Maylands, Mt Lawley, Inglewood and maybe East Perth (a lot on the market there!!) and areas around...
