Depends on budget where you might look, Zillmere doesn't excite me longer term the way it's developing but with development to sell it's mostly about the numbers and not the location. I know there is  alot in Moorooka, but my thoughts were that they were selling though, perhaps returns are not…[Read more]

You may not be able to access the funds as they will only provided funds for a builder most of the time. For a big build anyway, I think there may be flexibility if funds are for a small Reno. I wouldn't recommend this as there are far more complications, and most…[Read more]

I am not making any predictions don't get me wrong here. I would do your research into the construction workforce and the long term workforce of the projects that are / being planned to happen. Thanks for sharing..

The nominal rent however doesn't change much. Good point. Furthermore, Matt should write a book with all the predictions in the first post and get it published. It'd be a bestseller when these predictions start to play out.…[Read more]

Any rise in IRs lowers the affordability and borrowing capacity – this in itself is enough to cap prices at best, and likely cause further declines in prices in already depressed…[Read more]

So I would like to get an objective opinion from a source with no interest in the deal. This one is really a knowledge sharing for the builders. I am still waiting here.

Most of the money lost in first-time real estate deals is lost in somebody else’s backyard. You know your town, your area, what’s going on there, and the good streets from the bad. You’re far less apt to lose money when you know your way around. Property especially when you are just a begin…[Read more]

I have never come across a private landlord who did a credit check. They will want a reference from your previous landlord or several personal references if you have just moved back to the country.

Potential buyers bought into all sorts of rent vs. buy myths to justify buying houses that they could not afford during the boom. Now that the U.S. housing market is in shambles, people are starting to realize that renting may not be a dirty word after all. Contrary to popular belief, buyers do not get back the mortgage interest…[Read more]

Few buyers came into sight this Easter – but the market is not equally depressed in all regions. Asking prices are up everywhere except the West Midlands and East Anglia, according to Rightmove..

Whether you choose an architect or building designer, remember, qualifications are no guarantee of quality. Always ask to see previous examples of their work.
