hi all, I'm after some advice of the holiday kind. We're escaping Melbourne for Cairns in July - yay :D. We want to do a Great Barrier Reef tour while we're there, and also the one that takes in the rail-gondola thing - Kuranda?. I'm researching tour companies and options at the moment and...

hi all, we're in the process of trying to buy IP2 in Ballarat. We're struggling a little with the pace they (real estates, legal teams etc) seem to do things up there. We started with a verbal agreement two Fridays ago. We eventually received a paper contract on the following Tuesday. We signed...

Hi, hoping real estate agents and others can help me with some info. I have some friends looking at this property as a potential first PPOR: http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-yarraville-106496261 It last sold a couple of years ago - September 2008 for $529,000, according to...

Hi all, I'm after some advice. We have a small handyman-plumbing business and have been using the ATO's e-Record software for the past two and a half years (I'm a notorious tightwad and it was free:D. The accountant grizzles about it every year). Anyhoo, I got an email from the ATO saying...

Hi there, We're new investors - our first IP settled last Thursday. The agent has held two open for inspections - one last Wednesday and one on Saturday. A couple of sets of people through each time, but no applications as yet. It's a 2 bedroom villa unit in Melbourne's inner-west, handy to...

Hi, I think this might be a fairly basic question, but it's worth asking. We may be about to buy an IP - some argy bargy on price and conditions and the deal is currently off, but I suspect it may be resurrected next week. Anyhoo. The vendor has a few financial issues - among them nearly $3000...

Hi, me again, with another noob question. In looking around at places for our first IP, I find quite a few that I believe to be rented at less than the market rate. If, for arguments sake, everything else stacks up and a person was to decide that that was the place for them, how do you go about...

Hi, in searching, with a limited budget and limited knowledge, for our first IP in Melbourne's inner-west, I keep finding interesting properties in the ''bad'' part of Footscray (and I'm old enough to remember when that was the whole suburb:D). I'm talking about the area behind the old Kinnears...

Hello all, Total noob here (yes, another one). About to dip our toes into the property investment waters. Have learnt bucketloads from this site over a couple of years of lurking, so thank you all very much indeed. I have a question, however, that I don't think I've seen come up before. We've...
