I have been studying property investing for about 6 months now and joined the forum about 3 months ago. I have learnt a great deal, but unfortunatly cannot purchase my first IP as yet because I am in the middle of a 4 lot sub-division. This is my 2nd sub-division and would love to do it again.

Queensland have a better system than we do here in Victoria. Victoria pays the highest stamp duty than any other state.
Victorian’s only pay stamp duty on an existing home. You don’t pay stamp duty on a house you build.
Where as in Queensland they pay stamp duty on…[Read more]

I think 2 bathrooms these days is a must (1 bathroom and an ensuite). Garage.
In Victoria – Central heating!

These are the most important factors to me, anyway.

I didn’t know that if you sell a property that you have owned shorter than 12 months you pay 100% CGT and if you own it for more than 12 months you pay 50%. Have I got that right?
Guess I will have to hold on to my properties a bit longer until I sell them. That would make a huge difference.
Thanks All.

http://www.wesdavidson.com.au
They always have properties under $100,000 in Nhill, Horsham and surrounding areas.
Also, give them a call and tell them what you are looking for and they will e-mail you each time a house comes up that matches your criteria. with pretty pictures and everything.

I live in Ballarat and cannot find rental +ve cashflow property here. Anyway, I do prefer the idea of wraps compared to rental properties.

Do you still invest in properties in Ballarat?
I have looked at Colac, but houses are expensive there as well.

Is it viable to wrap so far away from where you live?
