My Budget is 400k to 450K.

 Looking for townhouse 2 or 3 bedroom within 5km to 10KM radius of Brisbane CBD.

I guess if the market is really hot, Its probably not a good time to buy.

Try to find a property thru which you can add some value by doing cosmetic renovation i.e paint, carpeting etc..

I agree with what TerryW has said…Good Luck!!!

   Personally I like to stick within 20Kms CBD and to find a positive cash flow property is impossible within this range.

I don't like to invest my money in outer range suburbs as their are some issues regarding capital growth,  tenants and too much land available. If you can find a positive cash flow property around CBD area..Good…[Read more]

I own an investment property and was thinking of building townhouses on that BUT after the research I found Better off just do some cosmetic renovation and hold the property as long as I can to create real wealth.
Real wealth is created by holding properties long term..
Good luck

  I guess sometimes its better to buy a property do some cosmetic renovation and then rent it out..
when building one really doesn't know which way market will slide in future if you are planning to sell.

But good luck with your search

But should I be worrying over the low range valuation..is that any type of alarm bell??

The other problem was the recent sales which wasn't any available plus this property is Investment property too.

  The tenants never moved out when I bought this property. Original tenants in place all the time.

Despite of that I was charged with Annual fee. This was my first IP and first time rented out.

When he gave me the contract he did mentioned on that annual fee but I thought that was common.

I really feel frustrated and betrayed.

I suspected that…I have lost 2 weeks rental twice like that..basically got ripped off.
when I asked him to manage the property the property was already tenanted. So i wouldn't have been charged anyways at all.
