    Rent out or sell student style flat.

    Depends on what your goals and strategy is. If assuming you want to build a portfolio and CG is what your looking for then i'd most likely get rid of it. But having said that, if the renal yield is something amazing and puts a big chunk of cash back in your pocket each week then its something...

    Buying in the Right Stage of the Economic Cycle?

    Many people will always find good reasons why not to invest in Australian property. Either its the Chinese buyers or a bubble or Interest rates or Europe's troubles or whatever. My dad tells me during his time it was exactly the same. And yet many investors manage to consistently build...

    When do you decide to improve IP

    IMO improvements should only be made for a handful of reasons. 1. Obvious repairs that need fixing asap. 2. If your research shows you that for a small spend, it can yield a worthwhile increase in rent. then it might be worth it. 3. If your research shows you that a cosmetic reno would...

    Yet another Brisbane thread... $650k budget

    Without knowing too much about your strategy etc, I would be looking within 12km from the CBD. A house. Not new. Something you can add value to. And try to buy it at a good price. Although time is running out.

    Supply and Demand (realestate.com.au)

    Brisbane- what to buy

    Hi Gradeng, Yes 405sqm or there abouts is standard, so I was suggesting something that's above the norm to give your IP an edge in terms of land size. In terms of LMR, yes you would need at least 600sqm, but if were talking just for IP purposes, then what im saying is try to get a place...

    Newbie question: strategy and preparing for Sydney's top

    If you meet a financial planner like Rolf on here then perhaps yes. Otherwise, the ones I have seen over the years have no clue about building wealth and their advice was counterproductive to building wealth!. The best, best thing you can do is educate yourself. Its not hard. And if you want to...
