I nearly purchased some land there a few weeks back for a quick turn around and sell again after long settlement. Still some intersting places available there but you need to look hard. The developers are moving in there and its pretty much a captive audience. Could be a good place to invest as…[Read more]

This one is through the RTA http://www.rta.qld.gov.au Part 11 page 3 of 10 shows the special terms that are the responsibilities of the tenant.

They were more flexible for me but I did have to do alot more convincing before they would agree to give me the money. I switched from Westpac as they were stuffing me around.

Back in 1994 I had a bad car accident and due to complete ignorance and stupidity didn’t have insurance. As a result I was taken to the cleaners. In 1997 I began using a financial planner. My investing began then in the Brisbane market. I’ve got 4 properties accross…[Read more]
