Hi,
I am thinking of investing in SE QLD as all the indicators are that this is one of the few markets in Oz that is a rising market.
I am looking at places like Logan (granny flat option to add cashflow), Salisbury or Gold Coast.
Anyone else looking at SE QLD , I would be keen to hear your thoughts.Kind Regards
Marty

Block is in Armidale NSW. Spoke to 2 Architects. Got a quote for $21000 just to lodge DA. This quote does not include Council, Surveyor or Engineer fees. Seems steep to me.

Hi Batts,
Do you know as an OZ investor in the US, how much deposit do you require (5%, 10% etc). Can you use equity in property here to obtain a loan and is there much problems obtaining finance.
What about Stamp Duty and costs?Would like to hear more.
