We are a 2 car family. A Toyota Camry ’90 wagon – which is the ‘work horse’ of the family. And my beloved Subaru 1994 sedan, which I have to sell, because it’s too squisshy for 3 kids like mine. As soon as we sell it (on the market now) I will look at a Honda Odyssey as my mechanic tells me it’s the best people mover on the market at the…[Read more]

I’m related (by marriage) to the person who partnered the “Dodo” business and started the shops and I can tell you she works LOOOOONNNNGGG hours! So, my suggestion on top of all the good advice you have already had is to go into one of the Dodo stores and suss out your competition.

Whilst I’m NO expert on this by any stretch of the imagination, I have a few questions for you.
1) Do you have plans already for this development or have you included this in your budget?

Glad you did something! At least you’re a doer! Telling people where you do or get things is counter-productive, in my opinion. Yes I have found properties.

Gogo, I’ve been on the sidelines watching last year due to family commitments, but I’ve noticed some of your posts. I have found within 2 hrs of looking, 6 +CF properties.

Yes, I agree with both of you Nobleone and Richmond, and NO pm’s as yet Redwing!… However these townships have large populations, hospitals, water, large shopping centres, job opportunities… They are NOT just your 500 pop regional townships.

These can be very lucrative if done right. First you have to have the positive mentality that yes…someone will finance them (whether it be a bank, joint venture etc) For that type of money just be careful where you are buying. Check competition in the area you’re looking at etc.

Yes, you are/were right. It was advertised on Monday night, straight after David Marr trounced on Steve (at 9:30pm ABC Media Watch) and then mentioned him in the same breath as Henry Kaye [:{].
