    anyone local to the Gatton area of SE Qld.
    Im starting to research the area and it seems that although one will not find a conventional CF+ property there seems to be opportunities for instant equity for the patient. Town blocks can be found in some new estates sub divisions from 65K + 165K to build + 10K expenses = upto 240k with evidence of comparible properties SOLD from 290k. In my opinion 50k equity in 6 months is pretty good per property. Im interested to hear from anyone with information regarding Gatton or any area for that matter which shows a similar instant equity position on completion

    Hi I dont so much as know gatton but in regards to other places i have been researching a small community called glenwood in the sunshine coast it is about 25min from gympie. the land there is around the 45 thousand for 1 1/2 to 2 acres. I was informed that the area itself was not looking to boom at a fast rate but more people are looking for the quiter suburbs that are still close to the bigger towns. alot of the propertys are only on the market for about a week or two.

    Hi i haven’t researched gatton but i would check your figures on funding a house and land package. I have just completed one and costs were more like 25k – 30k when taking into account Stamp Duty, Loan fees, Holding costs and agents commissions, GST and CGT.

    Hi,

    I’m reasonably local to there (Ipswich region), and a few friends have recently bought in Laidley, Minden, etc.

    The prices have definitely been moving upward in the region; big new estates going up in all those places. Rental returns look around 6% from memory.

    But to count on such a profit from building like that sounds a little risky to me.

    Cheers,
    Mick
