Hi Jacqui,

You might also want to look at predicted population growth in the area, general population statistics.

As you probably know by now, demand drives the property values up. Obviously suburbs with better
population growth will do better generally.

Look at the age of population too as it can help to determine a type of accomodation that will be required in the future.

I’ve found it quite useful.

Hi Joel,

One of the approaches to predict good capital
growth is to look at the historical figures
for a given area. If that area consistently
performed well over decades, chances are it
will continue to do so in the future.

There is no one single source of information.
You can buy propery reports from http://www.homepriceguide.com.au/ as a starting point.

Good luck,

Boris

Thank you Betty!

I might use the same valuer as the banks do.

Thanks for that Michael.

I wonder whether valuer fees are tax deductable as well?

Terry,

You are right about re-doing the loan in the name of the new trustee.

However, in regards to the first sentence, I think it might only happen when beneficiaries change not trustees ?

Thank you guys! I feel I’m not alone in this world now.[]

Recently,

I’ve started scanning all the property related documents so I can

1) have a backup copy and
2) everything is stored in one place with an easy access to it (enough of going through numerous folders!)

I’ve used BMT & Assoc. in Melbourne. They charge $660 GST inclusive, I’ve been quite happy with their report.

Hi Paul,

Not a long time ago I’ve read a book called “The Sales Dog” by one of the friends of Robert Kyosaki. I’ve found the book to be a great source of behaviorial patterns of sales people in general. The book puts a funny prospective to it.
Every time I go and meet a real estate agent I subconsiously give them a tag. Some agents are like pitbulls. They look at you as you are their dinner. They always have an answer for everything
and tell about their great experiences and that that crack in the wall that appear all around the house sometimes half an inch wide, is nothing to worry about.
Anyway, if you treat this experience with a bit of humor it helps to deal with their crowd.

Had to put my 2c worth.

Hi Entrepreneur,

“Out of the jewel box comes …”

I’ve found this website sometime ago. You can do
a title search there for a small fee and even
morgage details of the owner.

Good luck []
