The cynicism in this thread is reflective of the cynicism of the forum as a whole. Although it's definitely not unprovoked, especially when the sharks are out in forces to take novice investors for a ride during hot times in the market such as now. In regards to using BA, I believe there's...

Not even a single "maybe" vote, lol! So even if I manage to snap up an absolute bargain with CF+ there's just no point as CG will be next to nothing for a long time to come hey?

Gees, the overall impression seems to be overwhelmingly negative... is it really THAT bad??? Sounds like an area to stay well clear of. My initial impression was that it's similar to Logan, apparently not!

Sure thing mate, as I'm only just starting out on my persona PI journey I would love to meet as many people on the same path as possible. I'll PM you and we can catch up for a chat over coffee sometime.

Case in point. Unless there's a personal relationship, most experienced developers wouldn't bother wasting their time with newbies not only because of what's mentioned above but also due to the time and efforts they have to spend holding the newbie's hand through every single step of the way...

OK so I take that as another thumb down for Caboolture. Thanks for your input. Much appreciated :)

I agree. I'm in the same situation as you and the learning curve is much steeper without an experienced mentor showing you the rope. This is one of the main reasons why I'm seriously considering paying for a good mentorship program. When you think about it, noone is going to do it for free and...

What if you throw in First Home Owner Grant & Stamp Duty Concession? Does it start to tip the scale now? LOL

Thanks for the input mate. Lots of people on here are going nuts over Logan, do you really think Caboolture has similar underlying foundation for growth as Logan? Btw I'm a newbie so not sure what SES stands for?

$250pm for month to month membership!

Just found this thread and interested in joining up with someone else to share membership. The asking price is exorbitant!

Any reason why you went for the OTP instead of an established mate? Did you get a good deal or was it due to financial circumstances or are you just a black sheep who likes to go against the grain? ;)

Hi everyone, I've come across what appears to be a decent CF+ opportunity in Caboolture QLD but my knowledge of the area is extremely limited so I'm just carrying out due diligence now. What I've gathered so far is that it is a popular spot for retirees (lots of retirement villages), it's...

In the instance that I do know, would that make it a viable strategy then?

Hi CT, Thanks for your very information answer. I'm actually not referring to Sense but another smaller boutique development not far away. I've PMed you with some additional info. Hopefully you will be able to provide some further insights. Again thank you for taking the time out to provide a...

Hi, Just wondering why you chose Caboolture despite the general less than favorable perception of the area? Do you believe it has potential? A potentially good opportunity has been brought to my attention and the property is located in Caboolture but I don't really know much about the area so...

Another quick question: an apartment on a higher floor with view vs an apartment on a lower floor with a HUGE entertaining balcony but no view, which one wil hold up value better than the other?

I understand and concur. However, I do believe there are special circumstances that would make OTP a sensible investment eg when you have enough capital for the deposit but have maxed out your borrowing capacity at that very point in time and market condition is ripe for growth: agree/disagree?

Hi RPI, Thanks for the input. Pricing of this development is not expensive in comparison to other new and larger developments being spruiked at the moment, however, it commands about $50k premium over established units with similar specs and I'm just wondering whether it is justified... This...

Hi all, I'm looking at an OTP boutique development in Toowong with very low number of apartments in the block. The location is extremely convenient being walking distance to almost everything. The apartments are of decent size (min 100m2 including balc) and some have river view (the ones I'm...
