I have placed an initial offer on a 3 bedroom – around the Hills area of Brisbane. Nice location -I am going to have a look at the place on the weekend. It needs a bit of work and is 30K less that what my initial thoughts were to get into the market – which I then can put back into the…[Read more]

I am just remaining cautious because we are on a good wicket at the moment and while we are the lucky country, I do think some area’s are inflated due to the ability of people to negatively gear numberous properties.

Its good to know that people have the same problems as myself.

I have no problem in repaying the loan but I’m starting to become involved!

I will keep you updated on my progress!

When I mean major – over 200K. Makes me think…..

I’ve been seriously considering the hills area of Brisbane. I’m probably looking around the 250K mark – which I know is hard to find but there are a few out there. I’ve seen a few places around the 230-250 mark, that need some work, more TLC than anything else, but my objective is a longer term investment which I clasify as greater than 5…[Read more]

It’s a hard decision I will have to make soon…….which brings me back to where I started!

If you really want something, you make it happen. I think its a little bit of give and take too.

No longer are the days where you worked in the same job for 40 years. People have to adapt to the change, it’s apart of…[Read more]

Investment, like the water up there, you must be very careful, but should you tread the water?

It’s a risk but is the risk worth its weight in Gold?

Hmmm….I’ll let you decide that one because it’s beyond a novice like me!

I may think its 2 weeks – you may think its 6 months and the guy sitting next to you could say 9 weeks?

It will be my place of residence for approx. 2 months, but is that legally enough? And when you call the freecall 1300 number, to clarify or even understand the…[Read more]

I plan to live in this property for approximately 2 months – but my work commitments are in Sydney, so this will technically be my place of residence for 2 months but then move out, to work again for 12 months, then move back in for good!

Can I do that????[}:)]

No, I am eligible to recieve the grant as the property belonged to her father.

My question is, if I do get the grant, what are the conditions before I can have tennants?

Blake
