Hi there, Why don't you take a drive around and have a look where the units are located. Is it close to shops / transport / school. Those are the factors that you need to consider too. On a more personal note, I would prefer to live in Homebush. Goodluck Cheers

Amadio, thanks for your suggestion. I hope amateur like me will use this as a tool to further their research in Brisbane market. The house you suggested is suitable for owner occupier but is not too bad as an investment either. However, the risk is higher as an invesment. Although it has...

Hi, It depends where you are looking at. I have been looking in the past two months in Rocklea, Acacia Ridge, (15km within CBD). I can tell you that any homes below $300K are sold quite quick. Logan is further away that's why the market is more quite. I don't live in Brisbane, and I wonder...

Also keep in mind that when you sell your home, you will have to pay your agent commission & solicitor costs (you sale your house for 600K, but the cash on hand is not $600K). When you buy another property, you will pay stamp duties & solicitor & moving costs. So remember to account for...

Hi, How big is your current block of land? Do you have side access? Could you fit in a granny flat? Granny flat costs around $50-$60K, (check your council for approval first). It's a cheaper option. This could be an option for you to move into the granny flat, rent your house for...

Just read an interesting article on theaustralian web site. It suggested that, quote: "when home loan interest rates reach 8 per cent, the steam goes out of rising housing prices. EIGHT per cent is the magic number for the housing market"...

maybe try 15 Galah Street, Rocklea location is 9km from brisbane, good public transport, and oh the park .... :p

I must include this in my prayer, "Dear God,I love and appreciate my kitchen" :D Why agents post these pictures? I think this agent is smarter, ie: leaving it for your imagination (this is probably just the land value)...

OMG:p It's big and just way too many colours. This is the first time i see a kitchen with carpet (or am I just colour blind?). To renovate this would cost at least $10K! Is it worth it?

Hi again What have I learn so far? I have learn that it does not matter if I invest in house or unit, the important factors are location and action! But the most important thing is the timing/condition of the market. I bought my house at end of 2004, beginning of 2005. It was the cheapest...

Hi I have been looking at houses near Liverpool, Campbelltown region. I can find houses which are close to train station/shops. An old house on a big block of land for under $300K, which I think is great potential. I still think it is wiser to purchase house. Having said all that, why am I...

Hi, I have been looking at units across the region in Sydney such as Rockdale, Strathfield, Campsie. I calculated briefly that if I buy 2br unit around $280-300K, with rental around $300/week, my monthly prepayment should be around $1000/month (allowing 2% interest rate rise in the next 2...

Hi, Thank-you for your reply, it is much appreciated. I did work out the pros vs cons for both long term investments and maybe wiser to choose the house. Although the unit is quite appealing, but I could do more work & add more value to the house/land. Having a second thought, I might...

Hi, I have been looking for an investment property in Sydney in the past couple of months but it just seemed the prices are on the way up up. My price range is around $280K-$300K. I have been looking at units within 15km from city. I have found a 2br unit, near train, near school but in an old...
