Until recently my development experience has been limited to SE Qld where the rules for developing are pretty well laid out and as long as you tick all of the boxes or show how your ticks fit inside the boxes then you are good to go. I'm looking at preparing a feaso on a small development in...

My good story with OTP is that I've never bought one. I prefer to buy or develop property that I can affect a change in the value, set timeframes and undertake a feaso beforehand to minimise risk and maximise result.

There's nothing wrong with renting a property to students as long as you are aware of the pros and cons of the demographic of tenant that you are renting to. I'm stereotyping here but typically students like to party, generally aren't too responsible and can sometimes neglect a property. As...

So. Much. Oversupply.

Hopefully this gives you some inspiration to get the creative juices flowing.

I recommend you find a good landscape architect and tell them what you want from your landscaped areas. They will prepare something that meets the requirements of the relevant planning scheme. Then you will know that works and will be able to design the landscaping yourself for future...

Dulux. Whisper White.

DaveM tells the truth that no one else is willing to.

In the nicest way possible, if you're providing that little detail and asking an online forum if you should sink $3.3mil into the land I think you need to take some more time to research the field and gain a better understanding of the game.

spludgey, What sample size would you prefer to see? I used every advertised unit in 'Toowoomba City and Suburbs'.

As you can see there is an oversupply of 2-2-1s while double garages are in much higher demand than singles. I haven't had a problem with vacancies or achieving my desired rent return and I'm hoping workers will move into town mid year to start construction on the second range crossing which...

I took a look at the Toowoomba unit market to see what types of units are in demand, have an oversupply as well as the asking amounts for rents and sales based on different configurations of bedrooms, bathrooms and garage. I find this kind of market research can be invaluable for designing the...

Depending on your lender a residential loan may be for an established residence while a construction loan is to build a small number of residential buildings. I think it's up to four and after that it has to go onto a business loan as required by the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009...

Not all developers quash their profit margins by hiring a team of professionals. Many do their own design and town planning and utilise professionals to sign off on documents which require credentials however by doing as much work as possible they lower the outgoings of a project. Some...

Your best bet is to weigh up the costs of undertaking the project as an owner builder and comparing it to the cost of using a builder. You also need to take into consideration your diminished earning capability during this time if it will be affected. It will probably take longer for you to...

Hi alexm, Usually I begin by looking at the zoning of a prospective block and looking at the possible land uses in the relevant planning scheme. Once I know what I can build I choose the most most profitable project to undertake a feaso on and if more than one option seems viable then I...

Anything is possible. Can you give us more details of what you've got and what you want?

If you are looking at undertaking a value adding project I would recommend looking at property closer to where you live so you can cut down on travel time and expenses. Should you have trouble finding profitable opportunities where you live you may want to try Saturn or Neptune.
