Can anyone recommend a good valuer in Canberra at a reasonable cost? Thanks shaggygirl

Hi All Wasn't quite sure where to post this but trust that if I'm in the wrong place, one of our lovely Moderators will move me to the right location. My brother and sister-in-law are looking for a property to rent in Canberra. They are currently on the Northside and are looking to move...

I've been thinking a bit about Passive Income. We all have an interest in it and many of us are setting up our investments to ensure we have regular passive income. Obviously there's property, share dividends and royalties (books, music etc - don't I wish :D ). What else would you...

My parents just redid their laundry and have a stainless steel laundry sink they are selling for about $40. It's in good condition (it just doesn't match all the nice shiny new stuff). I thought one of our resident renovators might be interested. If you are, PM. shaggygirl

Anyone planning to go and see Michael Gerber when he is here? (If you're not sure who he is, he wrote E-myth and E-myth revisited. Two of the best business books around). Shaggygirl

There seem to be a lot of people investing in some of the regional areas. I was wondering if, when doing your research, put lower limits on the population size. For example, I always thought that 50,000 was a fair number for a population to ensure ongoing work (and therefore tenants) etc...

I was browsing a thread on career vs Investment and I started wondering.... Who on the forum lives entirely off their Property Strategy? also How many of you use money from your regular wage to increase your portfolio and how many increase it without having to use any of your own...

I posted recently about helping my parents to move into the IP market. My mother is keen and my Dad is warming up (I keep reciting "Not all debt is bad debt" to him. I think he's getting sick of me). :p Anyway I think the best approach is to develop a strategy (with contingencies). My...

A question to the other Canberra investors.... I have been renting my townhouse to my brother and sister. It is a free standing unit in a complex. Should I have been paying Land Tax? If so, can you give me any idea of what sort of money we are talking about? (The unit is in Calwell)...

Hi All I wanted to call on the wonderful members of this forum for some advice for my parents. I have been trying to convince them to look seriously into some property investing for their future. My Dad is wishing to retire or at least semi-retire (he'd be happy to work part-time) in the...

Can anyone recommend a good Mortgage Broker that they have worked with and were happy with? I'm reviewing my mortgage and planning towards future purchases and I'd rather use a "known quantity". Either in Sydney (North) or Canberra. I live in Sydney but my property is in Canberra and I work...

Hi All I unexpectedly lost my job recently and am now in search of a new one. As the job market is still extremely tough and I cannot afford to be out of work very long, I have been contacting everyone I can think of to keep an eye out for me and decided to take my case to the forum. My...
