Cheers NQ6.   I did just that. Found a Carpenter looking for a new home. We worked fast, Im paying him with free rent, his family moving in this weekend. and were rocking it!!

My latest buy, Rasmussen 190k  extra cheap due:
problems in the neighbor hood with crime,
Termites eating the lovely cathedral roof, (possibly more)
loads of half started,…[Read more]

Its been a hot market? Not so sure.
I do expect it to rise. You mentioned Gladstone, check Google news for Bowen.
I'm more than happy to meet any Townsville Investors or assist anyone buying up here.

My last buy was in November in Rasmussen Townsville, 190k. Spending 20K on it. Will get it revalued at 250k in March.

Perhaps check out  meetup.com   for some property type meet ups. There you may be able to network with lots of  potential investors. Thomas, I would also be suggesting that you try to take some of the well established Investors here out for lunch. Find some people with the experience and success in what your trying to achieve.

Ryan Mclean, well done on your recordings. I'm getting into your site now, good landing page.

Paterson, I do NLP, Coaching, Mindset Training. Generally for installing beliefs, values, concepts of Investors for non-Investors.

Some really great feedback presented. Nice one guys.

We all hear the News which is often, 'the sky is falling'. 
Australia must adapt, and adapt quickly.

Im involved with a few businesses across the Asian Cities. Those guys are all looking at Australia as the Rich and prosperous Land.
Compared to what I've seen across Asia, a lot of our…[Read more]

Hi Will,
Completely respect what your saying about not needing a Mentor. A good friend (or probably a few actually) paid $X for a mentor without achieving much. Personally I currently have a mentor and a 'system' which I roughly follow and having great results. The Mentoring/Coaching I'm receiving is providing a massive ROI.
Is there a lack of…[Read more]

hahaha will see what happens. Will post an update at the end of it all.

Guys I just joined the Somersoft Forum for some reason (perhaps seeing if there were Townsville Investors on there) and there was a big write up about a woman losing lots on her property when the tenant went bankarupt. This was a commercial property. Mine is Residential.  …[Read more]

Im looking for a new one.
Almost got burnt by my last tenant in Townsville. I  self Managed and he didnt pay. Didnt want to leave after I evicted him as well. Lucky I followed certain advice and steps from RTA and then a realistic person at RTA. I went to see if they had moved out but the Tenant wasn't there. someone else was. So I called the…[Read more]

Problem though, they have very bad customer service. They don't return calls unless its to sell you.

I just signed up to one of their promotions were you can do it for 7days then cancel or go through with it. But they started billing me before the 7days was up!
Now they don't return calls or emails

I wouldnt use people that mislead.

I just got ripped by

realestateinvestar.com.au

Was on a 7day trial, with a subscription to follow. They charged me for the subscription before the trial was over. Lucky I know how to raise so much bad publicity on their company that my refund should be coming in a few days.

I've been let down by a couple of subscriptions, and seen my family…[Read more]

Hi Melissa,
I did that about 10 Years ago. Been great. Yes there have been special Levies, MY roof leaked!
I also did the Gardens myself (and got paid by the BC for it) for a couple of years. Did a better job then the professional Gardeners I might add. Really easy to manage them.

LeaLea, Im in Townsville. Im looking at 2 seperate unrelated properties. 3/4 bedrooms, 1 bath, 260-290k. each. Looking at adding a Granny Flat and renting out rooms individually around 150each. If you do go for Townsville let me know. There are a couple of people on this website that live up here.

Just for anyone reading this.
I just read the post. Doesn't look like anyone has the connections. I just spent a year in China. Have a fair few however not for Kitchen. Can find and source.

In China they use Taobao not Ebay. Ebay/Grays are full of people reselling Chinese stuff marked up. If anyone want to import from China, I may be able to…[Read more]

My wingman uses Advanced Price Finder or something like that.

Hi guys. What are your thoughts here.

Stevie, have you heard about Vendor Finance? One of my best mates does it. Instead of properties being rented out, there sold on Vendor Finance.
Basic strategy I would use. Source average properties in regional areas like Townsville or Albury, Only buy what you can get 5% under value, do minimal cosmetics,…[Read more]

Hi guys, Anyone have a Spread sheet for crunching the numbers. I have been out of the game for a few years and getting back.
Hoping someone would be able to share their spread sheets with the Maths.

Im looking at Townsville and Brisbane. In my opinion, Brisbane better growth, Townsville better Cashflow & at a lower buy in, manufactured growth…[Read more]

Hi Chrighto, I went through similar at the start of the GFO/GFC (I like to call it GFO for Opportunity)

I spent a couple of years soul searching, rediscovering myself and life. Your physical and mental health most important.
After all the crap i went through, I'm would only contemplate a serious relationship with a woman that has her own…[Read more]
