Yep, had a look at those. Need a 3 bedroom, colourbond roof needing very little work (ie. not much of a reno). The Holsworthy one is the best I've seen so far. Thanks Raj!

Hope I've picked the right spot for this thread :o I'm looking for a house to move onto a block in regional NSW. Preferably with a colourbond roof. I have had a look on ebay/trading post etc and have a house in mind but it is not ideal, thought it was worth throwing it out here as well...

Most people (including many so called 'experts') would tell you it is virtually impossible to get more than 2 IPs - in a short period of time anyway. I've just spent the past couple of months trying to find a broker who won't laugh at me (and I have somersoft to thank for that!). And you are...

I haven't read through the entire thread but it seems people here are assuming it is easy to get more than two ips. It isn't. It takes a certain level of tenacity, creativity, intelligence and just plain hardwork. Many people are scared of debt and of risk and would prefer to take the safe world...

starter - was that a unit or a house? I've been looking elsewhere just because competition is so fierce in this area, by the time a house has hit re.com it usually not a very good deal. Agents don't even need to list a place at the moment because their books are so hot. I might rethink it...

Happy to share when I have a bit more time - would be good to write it all out concisely. I'm not too fussy with yields - not looking for huge average yields (did that even make sense? lol). Looking for the average yield of a town to be 6% or higher because my theory is that if this is the...

Awesome. Thanks Jake, this is the stuff I need to know.

So looking for a growth figure of at least 8% in the previous 12 months is the right way to go then? Too low?

Just trying to polish my research skills a little. I am currently researching 4 different NSW regional towns. I narrowed this shortlist down based on several factors: 1) Population size, town demographics and sustainable economy 2) Median house prices (less than 250K) 3) %Median 12 month...

Hi Rixter, how did you go? I'm heading down that way in the next couple of weeks (for a wedding) but will have a look while I'm there.

General strategy advice was good. I didn't really learn anything I couldn't have got from the YouTube channel though, to be honest. It was good for me because it focused me but I doubt you will get any real advice on how to get a BMV deal. I pushed pretty hard for specific areas and didn't...

Thanks everyone. It's not really what I've been looking for but need to learn how to spot a dud. Everything you've said makes sense, I thought the strata fees may eat up any cf. Cheers.

It doesn't look salvageable to me. Big block in a good area though, I predict it will get a fair price.

Laughing so hard at all of these. So glad I'm not the only one :D

What am I missing here? This property has been on the market for a long time. Looks good in the ad, waiting on a call back re strata fees. http://www.realestate.com.au/property-apartment-nsw-auburn-112754755

Sounds like a lot of us could use some tips on saving :)

We lost a dog not that long ago. Someone gave me this: Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle. I...

We have some solid rules around technology use, I am trying to teach them how rude it can be. I'm sure they think it is archaic. It does help that both me husband and I are "Gen Y", our oldest child is 10 and has an ipod but we have internet/text using blocked. Trying to hold out as long as...

This has happened to me too!

Haha! Yep, my sat nights have certainly slowed down a little :rolleyes:
