Thanks all for your input. I like the dragon trees website. From my research, most of the plants/sellers are in QLD. Do you guys know if this plant would survive the NSW weather, especially planted on apartment balcony facing east (morning sun)? And what's the price for 1m tall tree?

I saw this beautiful plant displayed on the apartment balcony in NZ. Does anyone know what is plant name? and possibly where to buy this in NSW? Many thanks, LC

Does it mean we can register with goverment the sale price of $2 and when lodging SD application, we could then put in the "market" or "actual" sale price separately? Hence the actual sale price is not necessary equal to the one registered with the goverment? And what do you call the price...

Hi Folks, I saw one unit for sale in the same building as I'm living in. The building is only 3 years old. So out of curiosity, I obtained a residex report on this unit and I notice the following: 1. In the sold history section, the price bought 3 years ago (probably bought OTP) was half...

OK thanks Shahin. I'm currently with CBA and the new loan will be more likely to be with CBA as well. However, Im aiming to have LVR to be around 90% (purely from investment point of view). I guess I will have to wait until I'm in a new job before purchasing a new IP.

Shahin, if they called my new employer (assuming if I got a new job) in 1 month time, they will say Im a new employee. So how's bank gonna view this situation (new employment)? After I past the probation 3 months with new employer, would this be the best time to purchase?

Thanks all for your replies. So if I found a job in 1 month time and I would be with the new employer. Would it be then difficult to get a loan as well? Or I would need to wait for at least 6-12months :(

Terry, what if I found and purchase an IP next week? I'm still under the current employment.

Hi Folks, I was just made redundant from the current job and I have 1.5 months to the termination date (end of may). Initially I plan to make a purchase of my 1st IP before this year. My question now is am I still be able to go ahead with the plan as my main concern is on the borrowing side...

Thanks Knightm for the wise post. I will research more on the area. Something like this is oversimplified and quite hard to understand. But I totally agree with the previous post about there are always opportunities but it really depends on what we are looking for. For the affordable...

Thanks Knight. From your signature, it says you're focusing on NSW regional towns. Could you please share ideas on what sort of regional town do you look at and key criteria? I'm also mindful that a lot of people in this forum suggest to entirely forget about investing in regional town and only...

That's good to know nhg. Thanks!

As some of you may have noticed, more and more threads are talking about Brisbane and less of Sydney nowadays. OK I understand that there may be more deals up there or easier to find better deals in Brisbane. However, what I don't understand is that if you have to buy in Sydney market e.g...

Couldn't find any search results in this forum hence my question. From the REINSW, this company Propertybuyer has won quite a few awards for excellence. I'm researching a few buyer agencies at the moment and would like to hear any feedback related to Propertybuyer company. Thanks in...

Lje, thanks for posting that interesting reports. For your question, it really depends on an individual lifestyle. For young couple (no kids), it's preferably to be close to transport, amenities, etc. e.g. I consider units around the south side of parra more convenience compare to the north...

Supply and demand Yea no doubt parra are experiencing so much development and it will be become one of the biggest hub in Sydney. However, I could also see there are so many high rise apartments being built in the area which would impact the high supply. Do you think there will be a continue...

Yea MTR, I'm still wondering how/why people want to pay 100+mil to stay in the apartment like this I mean chance to get the 9/11 attack is quite high compare to individual landed property.

May be we need something like this ? Ensuite Sky Garage

If there is a good council/community park nearby, kids can play there to their heart contents and dad doesn't have to maintain/mow the lawn. Win-win. Then who pays to maintain the park? everyone in the area and it's cheaper compare to exclusive own backyard :) My only concern is dealing with...

New ?skyhomes? in Olympic Park offer alternative to traditional suburban family homes Do you guys think the trend of large apartment units with 3+ bedrooms would be popular in Sydney and other places in AU? I do see an upward trend for this as families want to live close to all the action and...
