I own a PPOR in Southport just off Ferry Rd, (close to High st). Yeah as mentioned above, I would avoid units/high rises in Southport. For one they are not as good price/yield as areas close to the beach on the Gold Coast. second reason i you may loose a bit of the current rental yield of...

^^^ this is some of the gold you will find on this site. read a bit more and delve into different people's strategies and buying criteria. I'm in a similar position and I'm reading for hours and hours to make sure i make an informed decision. I cut and paste a lot of good points out of the...

sorry can't be of help with a provider, We did 40 meters of timber (standard paling fence - 1.8m) for $72 p/m supply and install. So $2,800 +gst. and we went for an extra $200 to go treated hardwood posts with 10year stand warranty. This was on the Gold Coast though...

Im sure Bardon will be a cracking spot for you Michael! Well done! J ________________________________________ SMSF property investment - Future Assist | Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Gold Coast

I don't know a great deal, but i would go with a licensed builder for one. Licensing is MASSIVE. Im not sure about anywhere else, but in QLD the work of licensed builders are covered by insurance. So not only is crappy/dodgy work covered by insurance, but the builder can lose their license...

Personally I have created some basic check boxes for myself: 600sqm+ Block Within walking from Public transport Close proximity to 2 out of 4: hospital, large public school, university, CBD preferably 3 bed+ 1 bathroom (for possibility to add an extra or ensuite) subdivision potential...

I agree. But I think he was a bit conservative on the Brissy prediction for this year. If you look at past cycles and the natural '12-month-ish lag' of the Brisbane market, It's well worth a good look this year. Particularly inner-north. J ________________________________________...

Yeah sorry all, I didn't at all want to sound like a d!ck by just posting about how well i did... I genuinely did not look on real estate . com before i posted this... In November and december there where 3 houses for sale in my street and the next. I think they all got snapped up early. There...

2 of mine where listed at $400k and $410k... if you come in strong with short settlement you can get them down... these houses are fishing for a $400k+ sale price but are walking distance from mine and 6 months ago would have listed for mid/high $300's...

not sure about developers moving in. There is minimal if any land available, mostly old ex-Gov housing area on the up. a lot of knock-down-rebuilds. I have seen a couple of developments across 2 or 3 blocks - again knock-down-rebuilds. my only scare is that with the Comm games coming, perhaps...

Hi all, Thought i would share, considering i am now maxed and cannot buy anymore IPs :D I bought 3 houses in the last 14 months in Southport on the Gold Coast for the following: 1. - $335k - 3bedx1bath - rents for $435 p/w - no improvements 2. - $360k - 3bedx1bath -rents for $450 p/w - put in...

It's just good to do your research. There is not min balance required for SMSF, but comes down to your age, income, contributions and retirement goals. Definitely worth shopping around for fees, typically you'll pay more for the least amount of work you want to do, and rock bottom dollar if...

you can read some more about what an SMSF will cost here, but typically it is broken down into 3 parts: 1. initial set up / company creation and ASIC fees (and more because you will need a bare trust if you are borrowing money for property investment / Limited recourse borrowing requirements)...
