Have found quite a few places in Brisbane one in particular with dev potential, close to city in mid-500s. If i were in brisbane I would be there to inspect as quick as anything.
As I am in Perth, with two small children, the practicalities of me is getting on a plane with the toddlers, renting somewhere and dragging to the kids to look at properties, doesn't really appeal to me. I am also not prepared to spend the money on a buyer's agent as I know the Brisbane market pretty well.
Is it madness to buy sight unseen? Provided there is a clause in the contract for building and pest, at least a builder has gone through the place and will tell you if it's sound or not.
thoughts?
