Hi,
I am new to this forum but have purchased several properties in the past. My circumstances have changed and I am unable to devote the time needed to source properties anymore. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the Myall Group – based on the Gold Coast – for sourcing house/land packages for investors.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Most companies sell house and land because generally the commissions start at about $30,000 so that the basis of the offering not whether its a good investment or not. Generally I do not think house and land is the best investment

Of course groups out of the Gold Coast are part of the white shoe Brigade. I would not buy house and land packages in this market. There are much better investments available. I would look at investments near Brisbane. The market is full of investment companies most of which do not have the investors interests at heart.

Bronte, ask them why they only recommend new House & Land packages.
As Nigel mentioned it is because they can hide their commissions which can be 30K upwards.
They will give you the 'buy new and maximise your Depreciation / Capital Allowance deductions' spiel but remember you get the same deductions on something that is 6 months old without the in built fat commission.
New properties can provide an excellent source of in built equity but demand a copy of the valuation to ensure that the purchase price / valuation are one in the same.
Cheers
Yours in Finance

I hope you didn’t go ahead. I’m just posting here so if anyone searches for Alan Myall (aka Myall group) it gets a hit.
