We charged by the room but it wasnt worth the hassle. We bought houses in QLD near the Uni ,I wouldnt recommend it unless you really are prepared for the hassles

If I was a buyer I guess i’d be a little unsure about buying privately but I have a terrific lawyer in Qld . I know he’d check out the contract of sale thoroughly.

How did you feel about showing strangers through the house?

Was your IP tenanted at the time?

My husband has stayed or visited a few mine sites and is a little knowledgeable on the risk of buying into a mining town.

The problem is there is no accomodation available !

We wish we had bought two years ago as well

There were 4 bedrooms each with their own bathroom. The owner had her rooms at the end of the hall. I was surprised her rooms were part of the B&B set up. Breakfast included of course.

I wondered how profitable it was etc. Also we went past a boarding house my husband lived in…[Read more]

We put in a $2000 expression of interest and got to the contract stage. We had applied to our bank for a Bank Guarantee but in the end we decided just too risky as an investment just right now.
