Thanks for the tips. Keyword search does help a lot.

Err... It's called a democracy.

Hi, I am considering buying a duplex but am having trouble tracking them down. Some agents list them on realestate.com.au as units, other just class them as a 4 bedroom house. Can anyone assist with a way to narrow them down?

Great resource. Thanks! As Michael said gross yield would be pretty handy too. Is it easy to manipulate the data?

Contacted Andrew Allen recently through his website and they are too busy for new clients.

Was it a fairly new one?

Does anybody do this or is the RE required to do it?

I have been pondering this myself as I would like to make a few offers in SE Qld but am not sure of the best strategy. Basically, I am in no rush to buy and would like to make a few low offers to test the market. On previous purchases I have negotiated verbally at close to what the vendors...

Have a look at Keperra. 10km out. An up and coming suburb that has two train stations and is at a significant discount to it's neighbour (Mitchelton). You should be able to get something around that price. Joe

We pay 8.5% in QLD. They do not charge a leasing fee at all. Not at initial tenant signup and certainly not at lease renewal like alot of agents do. $40 for 3 monthly inspection :eek: --- I have never heard of this... what do you pay the week to week payment for?????!!!!!!!! Crazy! Is...

Love to have a bit more info on this too! Joe

Hi All, I have just purchased a lowset 4 bedroom post war house within ten km's of Brisbane. The paint is pretty old and I am wanting to get quotes for a internal repaint. Can some give me an idea on how much it will cost (ballpark) for someone to do it based on past experiences or...

Hi All, I am about to make an offer on a property that requires a bit of maintenance. Would like early access after unconditional but not sure the best way to put it in a contract. Could someone help me out here as I know it is done fairly commonly. Thanks in advance, Joe

After the bad advice we voted with our feet and did my wife's tax at H&R Block. Thought I'd do a test and just handed the lady the loan statement printout. First question she asked "Did you pay LMI". I couldn't help but laugh and explained my previous frustration. To her credit she had an...

Hi Deeps, My opinion on this is to leave this property and keep searching. Buying this type of property is fraught with danger. Your really need to be able to dissect this deal so you can see how much 'cream' you are being left with at the end after everyone else has taken their cut. I can...

Thanks csc2 but Rocky is not were it's at ;) Have been looking there but new to that market. Need more DD. You're a local there aren't you? (from previous posts) What areas do you like...or would avoid? (I think I'm hijacking my own post here) :) Regards, Joe

Giving it away for free might solve the problem! Never considered that possibility!
