I haven't finished buying yet

Alright then
Roughly what's your time frame (when do you plan to stop)? Or is that a secret too?
Does Brisbane still stack up?
- Thread starter Green Grass
- Start date

Have you finished buying yet ?
I think that's true .
I've seen posts reporting good returns in all of the usual suspect areas for good returns , and obviously the nicer areas are still reasonably priced compared with Sydney and many places are still at or under their historical highs ( not sure how the well placed , nice areas are in relation to this )

yeah definitely. I just found another one today. I've hit my serviceability wall. So frustrating! I should be happy that I snagged 3 great ones in the last 12 months.
Offer to pay them back $10/week
Me too! I think those sitting on the sidelines waiting to hear better employment figures will regret it.
It's already been creeping up since 2012...in the absence of any good news.
If good news does hit, yeah it'll be way too late by then.
I'm starting to freak out too, because there are some really good bargains up there at the moment and we won't be able to purchase for another 2 months or so. looking at around $500k North side with a 90%LVR already in talks with the mortgage broker! Just got to hope nothing significant happens until the end of the year.......

Is it because you need your next tax return? I'm in the same bind too. I'm due to meet my accountant asap in the new financial year. It can't come soon enough.
Can you create a hype thread? I think it's time
I haven't finished buying yet
Sssh.. neither have my mentoree's.

I've also promised to tell a couple of close friends where we've been buying before I write the " I've just bought in........ " thread

Forget about brisbane...
Let's create a hype thread for southbank/Docklands Otp.
..followed by glen Waverley and then mount druitt and then all things sydney.Yes and 2 NRAS payments for this year. I probably have enough right now if I drain the accounts but I want to keep some cash in reserve. I have bought a couple of times now by throwing everything into a deposit and it just makes me stressed until I can get my buffers built up again.
Fingers crossed everything with the ATO and NRAS works out.
Ok good luck! I've never been so anxious to see my accountant!
Hi All,
Looking to buy my first investment property. From Sydney, but have been priced out of the market there, hence looking at other parts of Australia - Brisbane strikes me as having the most potential for long term growth.
Anyway....at this stage I've narrowed my search to 2 main areas:
1. Inner north-West Brisbane - Kelvin Grove, Red Hill etc
2. Outer Brisbane - Logan Central and surrounding suburbs
Thoughts on the above? Both areas seem to have experienced solid growth in the last year (c. 10%), but I believe there is still plenty of scope for growth over the medium to long term.

Brisbane's best market to be in now. Where are we? 5pm? Late afternoon/early evening, a few boozy drinks, everyone feeling warm and fuzzy, but we still have a night of partying ahead of us.
Sydney is having a wild dancefloor. I feel the peak. Great time, having a lot of fun. But I know it's not long before the crowd dies out, a few dodgy nimbos left harrassing any singles they can find, unwanted drugs start circulating and the cops shut shop.
Melbourne is getting pretty crowded, a few interstate visitors have come down partying, all trying to get the waiter's attention. I can see almost everyone's bought drinks and half the crowd is partying away at the dancefloor. A few on-lookers and still a queue outside to get in, we're an hour or 2 away from the wild party.

I think it's great if you have properties in areas that have gone up.
Just beginning - where were you at the end of 2013?

And did you sleep through 2014?
....Must, drag, myself, away from reading the comment section of that article.
It's like being sucked into the YouTube comment section vortex. The first 1 or 2 can be entertaining but from then on the compounding negativity makes your head hurt.
That's good news, I'd move back if there were more jobs. And not just 1, being able to move around again would be nice.
That payroll debacle was worthwhile, they found the missing $1,000!
Did that $1.2 billion get funnelled back into the economy or overseas I wonder...
Thoughts on a nice river side mcmansion in Balmoral?
