HI I have heard rumours that an airport is going in at Agnes Water, does anyone know how true this is? I assume if it goes ahead then the real estate prices will also rise as it will be much more accessible. Cheers

Seminars I agree with all the above points, but not having been to any property seminars yet can people recommend ones and possibly mention costs and what they believe value was relative to cost. I know this will differ for different people but if enough response should give a good guide.

HI I have heard that it is very expensive to subdivide in Qld, something about a voluntary contribution that is not really voluntary? Can anyone give me some guideline as to costs for this purpose. Cheers :)

HI I would also love to see the progress on this and know what your costs are. We have just completed a bad one - but not as bad as yours. We were learning, paid too much, spent too much but have still made a bit. If you are happy to share, it would be great if you could post the...

Hi Alistair Sounds great, but I have never heard of this before. Are you saying that if you have LVR of 65% you can borrow more money to invest or do you mean you can only borrow amounts up to total of %65 LVR I am currently trying to work out how to leave work and invest / renovate full...

HI, I have a unit in central Qld which is part of a small holiday resort. I am finding that the costs are very high - cleaning, linen, breakages & maintenance etc, but am convinced that much of this is due to management and advertising. If you do go into this one thing I would suggest is...

Hi Duncan We have same issue, our valuation has gone from 160000 last year to 225000 this year - Luckily it is our PPOR in Adelaide - will be interesting to see what happens with our investment property in Qld, I have a feeling that the whole country will do the same.

Try Navra Finance or Destiny - they both specialise in property

I have just done my own repointing, mixed the mortar as per normal for pointing. I just went round and filed the cracks etc as I would do if doing paving. Did not find it difficult. The only issue was that I don't think it would be easy to match the existing colour but as we are painting...

HI Philby, thanks for thread, it was interesting Phil H, how is your IP at Tannum Sands going - is it a good investment and is it cash flow positive or capital growth? Does anyone else out there have some more intimate knowledge of property in this area or anything about proposed...

You could of course consider doing what we are currently doing and buy the house you want to renovate as a PPOR and renovate around yourselves. If you organise it it is not too bad, plus has advantage of no travel time when you want to do stuff.

Hi, does anyone have any knowledge of the market here. I know it is a very small community but prices seem to be going crazy - if realestate.com.au is anything to go buy (and if they are actually selling and for similar prices). Does anyone know if there is any planned infrastructure changes...

In my experience wood does not necessarily increase price. It depends on the kitchen. Wood is darker and therefore if you have a small kitchen is not going to enhance the look. A lighter vinyl is much better. Painted doors most probably look the best but are expensive. You really need to go...

Hi Adaran Would be very keen to know where your property is, sounds like we are currently doing just what you have done. Over capitalising on main road in Adelaide. Would love to hear about your experiences in more detail. If you are interested in seeing if we can help each other out...

If you can afford to hold onto it, this is definitely the best option. I would also suggest that asap you build a new house and rent it out to get some of your costs back. If money is a little tight you could build a small holiday house that can be added onto later. Good luck with whatever...

Just to be another female voice... My partner is heavily involved with all the renovating we do and is interested at looking at properties too. In fact we pretty much do everything together which is great, we are pretty complimentary of each other - different skills etc :D - only trouble...

OK, Will let you know if I hear of one - especially as you are close. We are in Seaview Downs

Thanks guys, Sounds invaluable. If there is anyone out there from Adelaide who has a game going or would like to start one, would love to hear from you. If not guess I'll just go and buy it anyway. ;)

Hi Has anyone out ther who has ready the book also bought and tried the game. Is it worthwhile, can you play with 2. Does it really help with learning about finance? I have one investment place -ve and am nearly finished renovating my PPOR and will then either sell or rent. I really...

Hi Steve Thanks for spreadsheet, makes a lot of sense except for the shares bit, seems like you only make half the money for the same investment on the houses. Why would you not buy 4 houses and no shares? I have been reading on this site a lot about your seminars and have obviously missed...
