I'm certainly no property spruiker and I'm all for a balanced argument….but the way I see it, if the stock market is looking grim and rates are dropping…..this should make property an attractive asset in the current environment. CheersJamie

Backing up an earlier comment by Keiko about the media focus. Yesterday we had a fall in the ASX of approx 1.8% (I am not a share investor so I don't know the exact figure) and we had major & large print headlines talking about $24b being wiped off the value of shares. Fast forward almost 25 hours and the share market has recovered…[Read more]

Seems like Australia is heading downhill, I believe we did not escape the recession, merely just delayed it by a couple years. Instead of falling down a couple years ago like the rest of the world, we survived by our high amount of resources, but that can only last so long. The next couple years in the Australian…[Read more]

They should be dropping the full 25. but anyway .05 doesn't mean much if your serious about investing.It is good though as we should have a few more buyers running around.This is how I look at all the negativity out there, ''I don't really care'' to be honest if you worry about other countries or even your own country, then you will never get…[Read more]

Thanks will check it out

Are you sure the buyers are not the ones to call the council to get the property cheaper, if the buyers are still keen then maybe there plan is to build on the property and maybe they called council, a 40% drop is a lot

If you have to ask the question then…… It could be worth changing

If you know a lot about property law you could draft your own contracts. But what if you leave something important out and then go to your solicitor after the purchaser has signed – you will be locked into a costly mistake maybe. eg.

yep and know dealt it will be a big fat NO

It's all about buying rightIf you have storage sheds in a up and coming area or in a area where there is a shortage and the demand is high then your going to make money,If you also have the sheds in a prime location then developers will always target them as they may want the land for something else etc.

hah what do you mean it will have zero capital growth, When land value goes up in the area then the capital growth will also go up.

And the returns all depend on how good of a deal you get, it's just like buying any property.

RL storage sheds can be good if you buy right

Gold Coast sounds good! On a serious note what I've found from experience in the industry is that the cheapest survey may not necessarily be the best.
