Information for new investor Hi Tony, This is just an idea of what someone has said to me about five years ago. “If your end goal is to retire then why not take steps now to achieve that.” Maybe you should ask the forum a different type of question, something like: "From your (members...

hello there, I've found that it is a good idea from my experience to stay away from the local newspapers when trying to find tradesmen. The way we do it is we either find a really good tradesman and asking for people who prefer to us or ask people have had project some of them if they...

Hi Elke, It depends on what you're trying to do and how much of a renovation did you actually do. If you are looking at doing a pre-renovation appraisal, you have to get ideas on what you can do with the property to increase its value and to understand the rental market in your local area...

Hi Experimentee, We have traded well over 100 residential properties. However, one thing we will not consider are properties that have underpinning issues. We have renovated a substantial number of properties but based on experiences in handling properties located in Brisbane, Queensland, I...

Hi Engelo10, With properties in regional areas that are obviously quite a distance away from where you are at the moment, you might want to consider the maintenance issues in relation to the property going forward. Maintenance issues can be pretty costly for rental properties if your strategy...

Hi there, Since you are interested in the Gladstone market, you might be interested in this article that was in the local Gladstone newspaper. Gladstone Prices Soaring David Sparkes | 23rd August 2011 TIMING is everything, especially when you are buying a house. Research from...

Hi there, We typically give a town planner a phone call. We provide the address and ask them for their opinion. Depending on the use of knowledge for free-- which is part of their prospecting efforts-- and based on the fact that it is a PD need for an application, they can help you with that...

Hi Maza, Just a couple points in relation to rendering. I agree with Veseli . When we have one of our renovation properties rendered with a recommendation from our painter, we got the renderer to supply us three addresses of the property he done recently and went into the door knock on those...

Hi CHam, One thing to be aware of with property managers these days is the tendency for them to conduct open homes for rental properties once or twice a week. My personal opinion is this practice has been done to best suit the operational style of a property manager rather than in the best...

Hi Out Classed, We purchase the majority of our houses in and around the Brisbane area. This year we have purchased some of our properties in Bald Hills, Wishart, and Inala. We purchased these properties at terrific prices that we have recently taken the last five months off and are now back...

Hi Andrew, I would tend to agree with the North Brisbanite that is a very hard question to answer. With the money that you are looking at buying you could purchase two properties in certain Brisbane areas. From my experience, I have purchased rental properties all over Brisbane and I tend to...

Just a thought. Rather than trying to identify the next boom area, wouldn't it be just a good idea to find an area that is already booming and then find a motivated seller within that area who needs to sell immediately. You can pick up the property for a great price. That's how I usually look at...

Hi Highlygeared, We have a number of rental properties in Woodridge and Kingston. At the moment you can pick up properties at the low $200,000 to $250,000 that went out for $290-$320 per week. Another area that is in the Logan region be my will consider is Browns Plains, Boronia Heights and...
