As for investment purposes and the ideal ratio of rentals/owner occupier, well, that might depend on what your goals are.

If you are aiming for maximum CG, then a good place for an IP is an area that has around 70% owner…[Read more]

I was once considering a kit home (my brother built his beautiful home with some of his mates) and what I have learnt is that you need to look into the inclusions very carefully. Do NOT assume that this or that will be included. Get it in writing from the company. At least you won’t get unpleasant surprises.

My first priority would be to remove that personal loan first. You don’t really need this hanging over your head especially if you are going to buy a property. The repayments on that will be enough to keep you working away like a weasle. Think of a scenario of you losing your $50K pa job, while having a mortgage…[Read more]

Not every property for sale necessarily automatically goes to realestate.com.au.

I sold one recently and while speaking with several agents, some said they don’t automatically post the property on realestate.com.au and if they do it will be an extra charge and only at my request. While other agents do it as a matter of…[Read more]

Not all agents, believe it or not, list with the online services like realestate.com.au. I also found in my last venture to purchase (about 2.5 years ago) that not all agents will update their online listings, whether it be their own website or that of another.

My conclusion at the time was that it is still the best to do the…[Read more]

Check with the Monash Uni Student Accommodation Service to find out the demand and what sort of flats are preferred by students.

Also be open to the idea, if you…[Read more]

However, to get the facts, I would recommend you familiarize yourself with the ATO’s website and find the relevant information there. The ATO website is quite easy to use and you’ll find it pretty quickly.

Don’t make decisions on hear-say, ALWAYS get the facts ;)

CG tend to be higher, and there is none of the hassle with body corporates. On top of that, if the land is big enough and/or in the right location, there is always potential for development and even higher CG later on.

Go for houses[wink2]

The ads are repeated over years, and , as I said, same phone numbers. This is definitely not people giving up on the ‘idyllic’ country comforts that didn’t work out.

I see that there aplenty of houses for sale around $40K and even less in Qld’s backwaters. But I would guess that they would have a flat CG curve. After all, they are that cheap because nobody is buying there.

The idea is to find such a cheapie in an area that is as…[Read more]
