Hi All, I've just completed the development of 3 villas, and was planning to keep and rent all three. It looks like the rent from all 3 will cover the mortgage and other costs, so likely a nil weekly cost investment. However, most advice I seem to be getting is to sell 2 and keep 1. Id...

Ok, keen for some perspective on undermount vs drop in kitchen sinks. I know this topic has been discussed before, and in my view undermounts are a far superior result. However, is it worthwhile for an investment property, bearing in mind that the properties are being built to a very high...

Hi, Is there much of a difference between putting 20mm or 40mm stone bench tops in an investment property. I know 40mm is better, but if they are 20, will it matter for wear and tear and resale?

Hi There, I've been advised by my accountant that rental income is considered "Passive Income" and hence is not considered PSB income from a business point of view. From my perspective, if I was to buy IP in my Trust/Company name, if it was legit business income, it would help with my...

Hi, I have a property that i plan to develop. However im trying to decide if i should build villas or townhouses. Villas cost less to build, rent for less, and sell for less. Townhouses the opposite. Obviously Villas will appeal to a wider market for rent and resale due to their lower...

Ive noticed recently that properties seem to sell quite fast, and sellers arnt interested in budging on sale price. Is this the trend as we possibly begin the upward cycle, or a bubble at the bottom that will eventually burst, and the buyers market return?
