    See Change and Richard Feynman . let's hype the sydney market thread .

    Thank you See change. :)That is a good idea to use SMSF to buy property. Well, my super doesn't have enough money yet, maybe after 5 years. The tax benefit is good if I sell the property when I retired. Yeah, you don't need to pay land tax yet. I remember Rixter recommended people to buy...

    See Change and Richard Feynman . let's hype the sydney market thread .

    Great work See change! I just wonder how people handle land tax in Sydney since the land price is so high. You have 5 properties in Sydney, are you paying a lot of land tax?

    Northside brisbane townhouse or units to recommend - 260k -300k?

    This house is too good to be true. Alderley is a quite hot suburb, most properties attract long queue of buyers to inspect. If it is really good value, it will go quickly. Just an opinion, a physical visit is necessary to find the catch.

    http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/alderley-retail-precinct-to-get-facelift-20140522-zrkwv.html Apparently it is a good news for properties around the area. The question is how much the 5.3m SCIP will help.:rolleyes:

    Enoggera and DOHAS?

    MLink, I just bought a house in Enoggera for 505K a couple of month ago and rented it for $420. That is around the average rental yield in this suburb. I think it's a good idea to buy home in Enoggera: 1. save your travel time as your home 2. it is a good area, the high land value causes the...

    Thoughts on Brisbane $480k - $500k

    BTW, $480K - $500K can buy a good located house within 10km from CBD. If using that budget to buy a townhouse in brisbane, the townhouse must be quite new and luxury, which means more building content and less capital gain. If you are confident that property price will rise greatly in the...

    Thoughts on Brisbane $480k - $500k

    along the railway from alderley, enoggera to mitchelton is not bad. Not much flood area, close to city, lower unemployment rate than south suburbs, good transport and the house is still not that pricy. I prefer house to townhouse, since in brisbane house is not that expensive and the land...

    Impact of WA senate election

    Thatbum, I agree that it takes 1 year or so for those effects to cause higher rental rise. But it can directly lead to higher market confidence, which no one knows how early (or late) it will happen. Closely watching numbers of sales and listings is helpful. But those changes can be caused by...

    Impact of WA senate election

    thatbum, abolishing mining tax and carbon tax will make the mining industry and other energy intensive industries have more profit, and thus encourage them to invest new projects, which means more employment and higher salary. Then more people will like to go to those places, which means high...

    Impact of WA senate election

    Liberal has got 2 seats and mining magnate Palmer from PUP got 1 seat. If liberal can not get the third seat, it will need Palmer's support to abolish carbon and mining tax. However, after some research, it is quite clear that Liberal and Palmer share same interests on this issue. So I believe...

    Sewer main under house in Enoggera

    The blockage can be identified much earlier (if tenants and PM work well). However, if it is leakage in sewer, it can happen for many years without known.

    Need to buy another property - where???

    Tula, for safe, the closer to city the better, the north side of brisbane. for quick money: Logan, Gold Coast: Common wealth game and travel industry boosted by low interest rate Redcliff: new rail line Don't know why. The grass in other cities looks greener :D

    Sewer main under house in Enoggera

    Nww, thank you. The sewer main under the house was 1.262 meter deep and of 150mm diameter. It was built with unreinforced concrete. It uses bridging, but not encased at all. I wonder whether I can build 1 level up the house to add more rooms without requiring any work on the house foundation to...
