Bmt I have never used depreciator so I cannot comment. I have used BMT and found them to be very good. Depro generally do not have fully qualified quantity surveyors but have people fill out forms and send them to a central office. At least this is what they used to doo.

What drives the market When investing it is important to look t what drives the market When its one industry like mining the market is artificial. The price goes up because of strong demand but when the demand drops off or the market is over supplied the markets comes back sharply. So stick...

current market We have seen it all before the hotter the market the more people want to buy in. I think there are a lot of danger signs. The rest of the economy is slowing, interest rates are at record lows. I was looking at developments sites in Brisbane 18 months ago. We were missing out...

mentoring I think it depends on what you are doing Many of the big groups just sell you from one course to the next If you want to buy locally its a matter of picking an area and learning it like the back of your hand. Inspect everything on the market. It will not take you long. If buying...

buyers agents I think it is worth using a buyers agent if you are looking interstate or overseas. However if you are looking at the same state it is a matter of understanding the markets. The most important thing is to understand the market So Buy a scrape book and put in the type of...

Frankston South Moving to an area is a lifestyle decision rather than an investment. However Frankston South is a good area and also suggest you look at Mount Eliza which is just a few minutes up the road. Not everything is about money if lifestyle is what you are after these areas are fine...

Commercial My only comment is to be a little careful with cheaper commercial properties. Generally the entry point for quality commercial property is a lot higher than residential. Cheaper properties can be hit hard in a down turn.

commercial To me commercial is great but be careful buying bottom end. I remember the early 90s when many people had invested in small factories, many lost most of there money when the market crashed. Generally the entry price for high quality commercial property is much higher. Personally I...

Townhouses Generally inner city areas across Australia perform well. With the exception of city apartments which are being over supplied in many cities. Now these days most people work and many do not have kids or at least until later in life. Now houses in inner city areas are becoming to...

Third rate location Also if the markets comes back a little areas like St Albans are some of the first to fall.
