Hi everyone, We hold property investment workshops on the first Tuesday and Wednesday of each month at two different central coast locations if anyone is interested. Topics vary at each workshop but give you an idea some are: Draw Income for Life Property Trading Quick Cash Strategies...

Hi everyone, I haven't finished reading this thread but thought I would add my comments. I have been investing in property for 4 years, read all the books, changed my strategy a few times, and procastinated too much. I think that I would be much further in front today had I had a bit of a...

Yesterday my property manager up there told me houses in the $130-$180 per week bracket are in high demand.

Thanks for that Sea Change, I will give him a call (took the yellow pages from the hotel on my last stay). Do you want me to tell him you recommended him?

Just wondering if anyone has used a good conveyancer in Rockhampton. Last time I purchased up there I used someone on the Gold Coast and was not happy with their services. Thank you in advance. Kylie :)

Thanks for that guys I will take a drive out there and have a look around. I have been to Cairns many times before but that was when I was a Travel Agent not property investor so you look at things differently. I am incorporating my trip to Cairns as a holiday as well Chris. We will probably...

Hi guys, Wondering if any of you went for a drive out to Mareeba or Atherton areas. I know they are much further out than all the other areas mentioned but do offer better yeilds. Kylie

Thanks for thinking of me Chris.

Thanks for that Chrispy I will have a look at them. Regards, Kylie

Thanks everyone, Do you still receive your rent separate or is it pooled together. I also know on this one the rates are divided up and it actually works out much cheaper. I also read that you are expemt from Vedor Tax if on Company Title. Can anyone clear that up. Kylie

Hi everyone, Wondering if anyone out there has purchased a unit that is under Company Title and if so, are there any major problems you have come across. I am looking at some units that are a bargin area and have a yield that is 5% higher than anything else in the area but they are on...

Thank you G&G. That would be my preference as well to buy a 2x2 duplex, I haven't seen any on the market in Cairns at all. How much did you pay for them?

Thanks for that Ecogirl. I was told to stay away from the areas beginning with M last year but it seems to be changing. I have found that the government is trying to separate their houses in most areas so usually housing commission areas could have some potential. ChrisOS, what rental...

Yes it does help thank you for that. Any areas you would steer clear of? Kylie

Hi Fish, We bought our first investment property with friends, although it has lots of equity in it we can not borrow against it to buy a property on our own without the other couple going guarantor. The other downside to buying joint ventures is when the bank is working out your lending...

Hi Chris and all you Cairns investors, I researched Cairns about 11 months ago (ended up buying in Rocky) and at that time you could get about a 10% yield on units and 8% on houses. Agents were also screaming for rentals close to the CBD and in the northern beaches. It seems like...

Mt Isa often has blocks of units that are around 10% yeild before the price is even negotiated. I have not researched this area so can not comment.

I believe it is taken from date of exchange not date of settlement.

Thanks for your comments Thommo and Sea Change. :) Thommo your place looks really nice, probably too nice for me. I like to buy properties in the lower price bracket. It is interesting that you say Vincent has problems as this is where the Defence Housing seem to buy a lot of their...
