Could I please book two more spots? Looking forward to it!

Number 3. I was peeved because #2 especially didn't seem to recognise the value of the reno done. However it was an internal reno, so later on if he had only used his digital photo of the front of the house as his reference point, and compared it to his comparable sales, he might have...

SG, Exactly what I was thinking. When I moved from Brisbane to Melbourne earlier this month, my company organised two valuations on my former PPOR and I organised one for the bank. Valuer 1. $310K Valuer 2. $275K Valuer 3. $350K All valuers came into the property on the same day...

Cosmo, apparently not. From deppro's own articles - http://www.deppro.com/article.asp?article=35 An extract from the article: "[He had read]...in doing your own renovations it is a good idea to commission a Quantity Surveyor to value the finished renovations because chances are they will...

Just wanted to let people know about my experience with Deppro. After completing our renovation in Brisbane, we book a quantity surveyor with Deppro. They send me an application form, of which one of the questions is, Please list value of all amendments/renovations made to property since you...

If I heard right, and I was in another room when the ad was on, Today Tonight will have a segment on a couple "with an average income" with 1200 properties. 1200 properties!! The mind boggles!!

Mrs Bird, Thanks for your reply! I appreciate your tip! I know nothing about Melbourne. We shall keep Essendon in mind, and will do the drive-by when we get to Melbourne. At first glance on realestate.com, it looks like we will get an unrenovated house for $330K in Essendon. Is that...

My company is moving us to Melbourne... I've been looking at properties on realestate.com and have always enjoyed living in a leafy peaceful area. The suburb of Eltham has caught my attention. There seems to be a lot of nicely designed, reasonably large 3 bedroom houses for approx $350K...

I did a lot of work on this last year. I came up with words that meant something to me, and ended up with "To experience ecstasy, joy, wonderment, beauty and love on a daily basis." Then, a quote by Ferenc Mate touched me: "Wouldn't it make infinitely more sense to put our hearts and souls...

Landholdings, I am not a life coach but I discovered this area last year and read a lot about it. One of the gurus in this area is Thomas Leonard, he coaches and trains life coaches, I think he's brilliant. Anyhow, his start to fame was writing the following checklist...

Unfortunately for you Jas, it's through QUT, and I don't believe it's a correspondence course. I could be wrong though. For the rest of you Brisbanites, the details are: - it's a postgrad subject through the Construction and Building School at QUT - it's worth 12 credit points, starts in...

I forgot to say before, that as an elective within my MBA, I'm doing a Property Investment Analysis subject, which is one way to satisfy my thirst for information in this area while my employer pays for it! Are you able to choose subjects to make your course more relevant to what you'd really...

XBenX, I can sympathise with you, I'm in the same situation of working full-time, studying an MBA part-time and trying to look for more property investments in-between times. If I was to defer my MBA now and defer my investing, I don't think I would be much better off, because I'm limited to...

Actually, it's the Commonwealth Bank. Sorry, I was subtly referring to some ad of a few years ago, when they were "Which bank?" -ing all over the place. Maybe I was being too clever for my own message.

a) http://www.reiq.com.au/buySellRent/default.htm This may help. Click on community profiles, which will give you a blurb about each suburb, median house prices and median rents. b) The December/January API magazine also gives rental yields too. Their figures are from the rental ads in...

I hope the newbies will find this useful. http://success.org/re/ It's a 10-lesson course in property investment. The highlights: - He says to concentrate in an area with a population of approx 25,000 - The goal is 6 houses - 1 PPOR, 1 holiday home, and 4 investment properties -...

Please help with a newbie question. On meeting with the bank the other day, I wanted to know how I could get my PPOR revaluated in order to borrow more money for more property. The personal banker seemed to be a bit too vague for me, but said, "Just get a valuer in and they will do it for...
