If you’re considering a course without the bs try http://www.oten.edu.au & look up course 32000 property development & investment.

Course is delivered by TAFE on the web & is self-paced.

Has anyone done this course? Although I’ve never done one, I generally think of TAFE courses as being fairly useful so would be interested in…[Read more]

MrUnique,

I have never seen a house in Dearborn for $1000! If you did you found the deal of the century. What is the address? I would love to check it out.

Have sent you a PM.

Can house prices really be so low or am I missing something?

All I can think of is that builders will be kept really busy, leaving an absence of new properties being built…

I'm really looking forward to hearing his opinions, even if he is just a 'salesman'. He seems to know enough to be an authority in my eyes (although of course, I wouldn't trust him or anyone blindly without doing my own…[Read more]

I agree that his books get quite repititive, but I've read three or four of them now and have always enjoyed them. I, like many others, began my journey to financial freedom after reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Can't wait for this one to come out!Cheers,Dave.

One place I've found apparently has no management fees, plus body corps are only around $2k, with returns of just under 15%! I will be making further enquiries into this property but, as I said, it just seems too good to be true.

I drive to the train station as Victor suggested, and actually enjoy the whole trip. I could quite easily afford to live closer to the city, but choose not to for the lifestyle I have in Redcliffe. And yes, the bridge duplication should make a VERY big…[Read more]

Thanks for that info.When you talk about exit fees are you talking about the fees involved in going off the fixed rate (which I assume is now higher than the variable rate) before the term ends? cheers,Carlin

exit fees?

Hi Terry,About $14k all up. I knew it was going to be quite large, so wasn't particularly shocked. Am now just doing the number crunching. It seems that if we can get the $14K added onto the current loan, we will be able to save ourselves about $80/week. Trying to work out if saving $80/week is worth having an extra…[Read more]

Certainly a lot more confusing than I originally thought. Could you clarify what you mean by: "They would then divide this figure by the monthly factor of Principal & interest for the interest rate + say 1.5% (Maybe $8.34 / 000)"I'm not sure I understand what you mean here… Thanks!Dave.
