I have several properties in Rocky, none have been vacant for more than a week in over 12 months.

How many bedrooms is it, and how much a week are you charging?

ps baxters are good for renting places on the south side.

the eternal argument, and it’s been discussed ad nauseum… if you do some searches you’ll find previous discussion

Hi,

Drop the rent.

Better to get someone in for 10 bucks a week less than have it empty for an extended period.

I’d look at Box Hill along the Mont Albert border (Elgar Road) I used to live there, and there’s always council talk of rezoning a western slab of Box Hill into Mont Albert, which would make the value jump overnight… kind of like when bits of Mulgrave became Wheelers Hill and some of Ferntree Gully became Lysterfield. Box Hill is also adjacent…[Read more]

well, made my offer yesterday morning of 260k with a 10 year lease starting at 475pw, subject to the usual stuff (building inspection etc)… it was all looking good, and the agent reckons the vendor was going to accept, before a late appointment for someone else to look through this morning, so the vendor decided not to make a decision until…[Read more]

gee not too many ideas except for kay’s… I would have thought there’d be a few more… maybe people are out there trying to track this place down hehehe

How weird is this?

My wife and I just went to the vet because one of our cats is sick…

Anyway, I got talking to a lady in the waiting room and it turns out she and her husband were in the same business as this chap, and they owned the property in question… they sold it to the current owner 5 years ago for $225k…

They are still in touch…[Read more]

Hi,

Sorry I should have explained myself better… in terms of the 11 sec solution Steve explained it like trying to fit a beta tape into a vhs machine… what worked well in yesterday’s market, might not be so good in today’s market…

Muppet – sorry I meant Australian market.

Monopoly – I’m cold I’m so chilled… you asked a question and I…[Read more]

Steve didn’t have to invite anyone if he didn’t want to, but he did, and I’m grateful for it.

I’d never been to a seminar before and was pleasantly surprised…

I was happy to see Steve taking a very level headed approach, certainly didn’t give the impression that anyone can become a millionaire in 5 minutes, and that it’s often a good idea to…[Read more]

Keep working on the pecs and delts gatsby and the gutsby won’t be so noticeable (if you think it’s a problem that is)

Thanks for that incisive reply Yorker.

Drewster, do a search on rockhampton, it’s been discussed a million times on here. Also, there’s a brilliant thread on Rocky on somersoft.com’s forums in the Where to Buy section, started by a bloke called see-change… well worth a read.

Cheers

Keep plugging away mate and don’t give up… this isn’t really the place to be baring your soul though.

Cheers

ok

I haven’t read all this thread, but the line that we “mostly” like people because of the status they have is complete crap, at least from my point of view. I’m attracted to people who give a stuff about each other and can talk about more than what car they’re hoping to trade up to next time at the dealer… Genuine, straight down the line type…[Read more]

Monopoly,

Yields of 8% and more are achievable in Queensland regional centres such as Toowoomba, Mackay, Townsville, Cairns, Gladstone, Rockhampton, Bundaberg. Not easily achievable, but they do bob up from time to time (note I am talking about residential).

I reckon Yack’s on the right course, name your price Yack… I’m mates with one of the board members, perhaps I could put you two in touch…
