Hi,

first thing — check with your bank or broker regarding latest lending criteria for holiday units. If you want to borrow more than 70% you may find some problems in your way. With some lenders it could be less. This could in turn present difficulties for you if you plan to onsell the unit at some stage in the future.

Hi,
if unsure[angry2], why not put all your questions in writing to your insurer. Find out if they have a unit fielding questions from the public. Be as specific as possible, so that any replies are unambiguous. If you still don’t get satisfaction, isn’t there an ombudsman for insurance that you can contact to get the matter…[Read more]

Hi,

I agree with Monopoly.

Its a good move to spend time on this forum even if you don’t have the funding now to invest. Learn the craft first.

Secondly, regarding your sleep patterns — I can relate — I am completing some studies at the moment and found it great to work through the night and sleep during the day. That works OK if you live…[Read more]

Hi,
to get an idea of Cairns check out the local council web site. This will give you an idea of the direction in which this city is heading.

Hi Kay,

There seem to be as many opinions as there are people.[confused2] Are you new to property. It appears as if you are trying to take too much in and are suffering information overload.[blink] I think you need to focus down on a few issues rather than trying to absorb all possible information.[eh]

This forum is great if you have already…[Read more]

WOW!!! Peter: that’s some reply. Now we all know what to aim for[thumbsup2]
