Any glowing recommendations? Ideally low fees, great service and flexibility. Particularly for low-rise apartments in the inner west.

In terms of percentage growth across all dwelling types. I think it won't, but the ensuing 12 months (from June 2016 on) is likely to be a different story. This poll closes in 30 days and votes are public.

While I stopped buying in Sydney more than a year ago, I still reckon it's got some steam left in this cycle and am curious to hear what others think. This is part of a learning process for me; a combination of analysing data and trends (local, national and international), observing investor...

Anyone able to point me in the direction of how this can be done? Or have experience in doing so? Benefits? Downsides? I'm specifically referring to NSW and merging three separate strata plans (managed by two different companies) sharing lot of land with 3 subdivisions. There are 3 buildings...

I am enthralled by science and the future. For most of my adult life I've devoured books and lectures on these subjects and the innumerable conversations I've had are among the most enjoyable of my life. One of the most interesting things to me is how easily human beings fail to model...

There is almost nothing on the market in terms of established apartments right now, yet massive demand. 1 x 1 bed (yeah, ONE) 3 x 2 bed (one of which goes to auction on sat) That's it. Everything else is under contract.

Who of you has had success in renovating properties to produce deposits to do more? Ideally: Buy at 80% LVR Renovate Val shop Refinance with new lender at 88% (taking out more than your deposit/purchase and reno costs combined) Renovated property = cashflow neutral or positive...

I'm curious to see what folks reckon. How much growth do Sydney dwellings have left in this cycle before things taper off? Having experienced a pretty flat decade preceding this run, investor loans at all time highs, more and more SMSFs being set up and with a second rate cut (March/April)...

Anyone got access to--or able to point me in the direction of--data showing historical sale volumes nationally and/or state-by-state over at least a 20 year period? Ideally much longer.

Curious, as always. What did you last study, when did you study it, and what was your purpose of study? And sure, if you haven't formally studied in ages but have been learning informally, that counts. In my case: Last completed: NSW Buyers Agent Licence (Jan 2014) Underway: NSW...

I reckon we all might be able to learn from the experiences of one another. What are your big regrets (including things you DIDN'T do and wish you did), and mistakes? Property, investing and life in general. If you're one of those "positive thinking" types who has no regrets and...

If you have 30 mins to spare, this is a fantastic video (created by Ray Dalio) that explains how the economy works--simply, clearly and entertainingly. Great info: http://www.economicprinciples.org/

Curious as to the biggest hit to net worth you've taken (in a 12 month period) during the course of your adult lifetime; whether through a single decision, movements of a market or an entire economy. Feel free to share details such as age, loss, and what you learned.

He just tweeted that. In the days prior, news like this appeared: http://rt.com/usa/203647-elon-musk-internet-satellites/

Came across this one. Not of interest to me so maybe someone on here wants to have a crack. It's cheap, that's for sure: http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-ashmont-118176403

Just curious to learn what speculative investments/decisions you've made in the past, and how they panned out. Shares, property, business -- whatever. I'm even more curious as to roughly how much of your net worth was involved. I'm sure there will be some all timers, and some disasters so...

I'm (unexpectedly) headed to the USA for a couple of weeks in November. I have a commitment of 3-4 days in San Francisco, but otherwise my plans are very open. Anyone been to the west coast recently and/or have recommendations of things to do, places to visit, where to stay, how to get...

I'm calling on the broad experience of Somersoft again. Is the following scenario possible? What would I need to look out for? What costs might be involved? - Help someone make a more realistic offer on a property (which includes a car space on separate title) by lending them the value of...
