You've use 52 weeks rent.  Do you need to consider where there'll be a period where there'll be no rent?  When I first get mine, I've got 3 weeks vacancy before the tenant start moving in.

Works on firefox with no issues.

Performance could be an issue as well, sometime it takes a while to load.

I believe they are quite well known in this field as well. The 1 yr YIP may be before 1 July though, better check with them.

All of the quotes are on the high end. It’ll definitely be cheaper to do it yourself.
Other than treated pine, it’s also better to have the plastic behind the sleeper, to prevent them from rot and last longer. You’ll also need agi pipe for drainage. Scoria on top of the ai pipe.

If all of them become available for rent at the same time, it’ll be very challenging to find tenant.
How many buildings are going up at southbank you can see for yourself.

I also do see potential in Geelong, but do your due diligence.

Obvious house with land component will appreciate the most, but what about comparing villa unit and apartment in the same suburb say canterbury, vic. I’m thinking capital growth would be pretty similar given both has limited to no space for expansion. Is this correct?

it is very important to understand how much I can borrow first and structure correctly for the most tax benefit.
From there then decide how much you really want to borrow,
Look for property
Do the calculations
