Hi Darren thanks for the reply.  Sounds like we are both looking for the same thing out of property and in relatively the same time frame.  I have a few properties in Ipswich which haven't seen much growth in the past few years.  2 are ready for a reno but I live in Melbourne now so its a bit hard to manage until I decide the time is right to mo…[Read more]

I this is an older post but you are spot on the money there Darren.  I know Ipswich very well living there for quite a long time and have investments there.  I don't see it turning any time in the immediate future.  It is a very very tight market.  There is a fine line between getting an ok price and giving it away.  Alot of the purchasers and…[Read more]

Could you afford to buy somthing else if you rented out the flat? Could you sell one to buy in a better area that suits your needs?Seems like there is a bit of equity there which alot could be done with also pending your income.

Generally if you knock down the existing and only build 2 dwellings you are really paying for over priced land and would be better off just buying a block of land.  You will ultimately lose out.Battle Axes are out there you just need to be patient as they are obviously popular.  Put your name down with agents with specific details as to what you a…[Read more]

Your in a pretty good position.  I would be doing somthing like Jamie suggested where I would buy somthing that needs a bit of work and or buying a bit further from the city on a big block with the potential to subdivide down the track.Although I am no longer single one good way to help out with the mortgage is to get a friend to…[Read more]

Justin,               From what I know she worked all but for free for a developer and just learnt and learnt and learnt off him as well as assisting him with finding deals.  I believe she ended up finding a deal and he bought it off her thus making a heap of cash to get the ball rolling……

I thought that would be the case with the interest I was just unsure about the rates as on the bill it has the grand total.Will speak to someone about it.
