what happens in the market from here time will tell, u could be right, what can't be denied however is you bought a suckers property, off the plan in a new estate, what several posters for years have advised against in nearly every market but especially Gladstone so to blame the market for your...

well done, nice work

which suburb did u buy? well done

as long as you can comfortably afford the $60pw i think long term it will be well worth the effort, it does not take much capital growth to get back that plus more. much safer buying at that price point and contributing $60pw compared to paying more and getting a better rent, the price downside...

personally i think there is still a fair bit of growth left but i don't like buying so far into the upswing. on the downturn we could get back to here and quite possibly below so unless i was going to buy and sell at the peak or wanted to use $40k to access $125k in 18 months for other areas i...

y not use a buyers agent so the person working for u is paid by you and not the developer

From queensland SRO website Duties Act 2001 to reinstate the transfer duty home concession, the previous transfer duty rate structure and previous phasing-out point of $550,000 for the reducing rebate for the transfer duty first home concession. These amendments apply to transactions entered...

couldn't agree more

It's not a lower price, i could understand it more if it was if you go to the extreme and compare Gladstone to a major city like Melbourne you are in effect paying more for a house and land package in Narre Warren than a house in Richmond

market is a bit flat atm, good opportunity for investors to get in b4 the stamp duty discounts kick in july 1 when demand will kick up. i know a lot of people r buying the new stuff but i can't for the life of me understand y people are not buying established stuff for under $400k very close...

Others can answer the questions about the 'world holding together', but in reference to the rental vacancies, to get a real feeling of it call any agent and say you need a rental for up to $600 pw within 10km of the CBD and see how you go.

yep me too, need to try and time it becuase as at end of last boom the tenants will smash us back, we r doing the smashing at the moment but times will change again, dont want too many coming up for rent too early after the slowdown

yes and bought by people who have likely never seen them and r in for a hell of a shock when the market turns

Agree 100% with this

well done , nice!

i am not greedy happy to rent mine out for $450k a week:)

another obsession i don't get is leasing to corporates, they are in most cases very bad payers. they treat the lease like an invoice, pay in 60-90 days. many of the local agents actually advance the rent to the landlords before they get paid so landlords can pay mortgage etc, it is a...

very good advice, this obsession to buy new will end in tears for many, still some very good buys around for those who are prepared to look

yes that is one of the horrible ares, bit of a shame as that estate had some more established homes and was one of the better ones. during last boom i had a mate buy one for $254k and sell it for $375k in 12 months so he did pretty well out of it, glad he bought elsewhere and did not keep in...

not sure but i went into some new estates last week and some are going to be very baron horrible places. i said to one of the agents how do they get away with building such poor quality, shoddy houses. she said most are sold to investors in WA who never come over and see property and they...
