    The original price range on RE.com for this one was 500-600k. Something tells me the agent knew what he was doing!

    How could restricted borrowing change investing approach

    Has anything official come out about changes to lending from any institutions ? I know one of the orange coloured guys today decided to stop lending to investors above 80%LVR as a blanket rule.

    I'm getting lost!

    Not sure if growing up in Ipswich has caused some assumptions in my head but I have spent a bit of time recently considering purchasing out there. I ended up deciding against it for a few reasons: * Growth - There appears to be a strong(er) demand for new housing stock which is in abundance...

    Should I claim tax for my shared property?

    As stated earlier, CGT could potentially hit your pocket hard when it comes time to sell. I would recommend getting an accountant to guide you through your options. Your decision will depend on stacking the available deductions up against the timeframe you're holding this property and any gains...

    Free API Digital Subscription (Brisbane +Maybe Others)

    Hi All, I recently discovered a feature of our BCC library. If you've got a library card (if you don't a quick visit to one of the librarys will have you going in 5 minutes free of charge) then you can head to the library website and sign up for Zinio access. BCC provide access to a whole...

    600mm vs 900m oven/cooktop?

    When I was renting a few years back a 900mm cooktop was a necessity. Sharing with young professionals. With the plethora of cooking shows around these days I'm sure it would appeal to a lot of people.

    negative gearing shed

    I've actually been wondering a similar thing when looking at some possible land bank ideas. I wanted to know what kind of structure would be considered a rental and at what point you can deduct the interest on the loan. I was planning a visit to my accountant soon so was going to ask then. If...

    Baby changes things

    +1 to this. While babies are magical I don't know a single person who would want to have a newborn that wasnt family/close live in their house. Sleeping with earplugs is surely bad for your ears ;) Congrats on the pregnancy!

    Raceview, Queensland

    I grew up in Ipswich and moved away ~10 years ago but still visit family often. Leichhardt isn't a place I would expect quality tenants. I'm quite partial to a lot of streets in Raceview, Eastern Heights, Winston Glades and to a lesser extent, Yamanto. I don't dispute you could see great...

You can limit your search to a particular site by using "site:www.Domain.com.au" at the start of your search term. Creating a new engine to search particular websites wouldn't be a simple task if your...

    Pest and Building Inspections from same company

    Well that was a pleasant experience. I followed the guys around like a shadow and noted everything. Each were pointing out items to the other so definitely great having 2 sets of eyes there. They found a few things I wasn't able to see and explained possible scenarios and provided good...

    Building replacement value

    It comes down to what's in the PDS. Some consider the value to be just the "building" and keep the costs of demo/clear/council etc separate and others lump it all together.

    Pest and Building Inspections from same company

    Based on recommendations from this forum I've booked Twinspectors to check over a property for me on Monday. 2 people attend the site, one licensed builder and one pest inspector. I like the idea of 2 sets of eyes too and dealing with one company saves time and effort. I'll report back after...
