They offer a full service. Their prices are on their web site. They do deal with international clients. They seem to have multiple repeat clients. Memphis is the headquarters for AutoZone and FedEx. Memphis has the US's third-largest railroad hub and the world's busiest air…[Read more]

Perhaps to keep some to build on and sell some blocks to fund the houses. It will take a lot of money.You need to start with a town…[Read more]

I've always needed an income and need to look at properties that have +ve cashflow.  It is not a sin to pay tax. It means you have made money. I assume your ultimate aim is to replace your working income with passive income. You eventually need to pay tax. Another popular thing to do that is choose a property that…[Read more]

His co sells investment properties all over Queensland and other states for developers. They have sold houses in Biloela and must have thought the return was OK. I'm away from home so can't get his figures. It's not a Gladstone but  Biloela is a good size town for a country town. There…[Read more]

The Northern Beaches side of Townsville is racing ahead. After many years of talk there are new shops being built out that way. Smaller take-away complex, a Coles anchored new shopping centre, plus new shops (Woolworths) at the North Shore devolopment on the eastern side of the main Bruce Highway, which also has a…[Read more]

At the time the prices were a bit cheaper than Moranbah. Dysart is between Moranbah and Emerald in the coal mining basin and is serviced by Moranbah mainly. The rents went down with the GFC but they are on their way up again. Tip is to check out the management charges that the real estate charge. Moranbah Real…[Read more]

What are the rents being achieved?  I assume the investors are chasing capital growth as not much mention on rents in these posts? I imagine the cost of building in Gladstone is a lot cheaper tan Karratha. And I suppose there is more land available for development in Gladstone/Calliopie than Karratha. The Gold…[Read more]

Is the 20% a return on the cash one invests ie. in property the deposit that is put up or a return on the purchase price considering most people borrow? You do say an invetment that  will give me positive cashflow returns from a minimum deposit. So it seems that one should be looking at a return…[Read more]

I have researched web sites that talk about positive geared properties and they have properties listed quoting  yields of between 6% and 10% returns p.a. I did my calculations and they are gross yeild on purchase price (contract price) and nothing to do with percieved capital growth and assuming before tax that I can see. There are more…[Read more]

The tennants are usually companies that contract to the big coal mines.They sign 1 year leases or longer. The house is looked after. Any maintenance is costly with tradesmen coming from Moranbah however the rental return is excellent. The workers are not there much as they…[Read more]

I went for a positive geared property. If you want cash flow go to the mining towns!
