What kind of prices are you paying, and what kind of rent returns are you receiving?

I've lived in the "good" side (other side of Kern Bros) and have also had no problems.

South Townsville would be good if you could find a spot that didn't flood every year!

I agree with the oversupply of units too.  Seriously large apartment buildings going up near the CBD.  If I was to find a good deal for a unit, it would be in a…[Read more]

What suburbs are you guys/girls considering or have invested in for capital growth and yield?
What type of property?

My list:

Suburbs:
Kirwan and surrounds due to proximity to Thuringowa Central

Gulliver, Hermit Park, West End etc due to proximity to CastleTown and CBD. Flood free.

North Ward if possible due to…[Read more]

I would assume rates would be the same as they're calculated on land value.  Insurance would be similar too, wouldn't it?

What considerations would you need to take into account if you planned on buying one and then strata titling down the track?

Is this for duplexes also?  so this would affect capital gains too?

It would be very interesting to see if they are worthwhile or not.  Any opinions on the reports?

Where abouts did you meet up with NPA?

Did you end up going with another mob or did you go DIY?

I will definitely be asking for something concrete in regards to their payments before I would go any further with them.  I will also make sure I do some due diligence in regards to the property and any areas that they recommend.

On the plus side, there was no hard sell, no pressure.  I was pretty forceful in…[Read more]
