    Hi IAS
    The government is selling there houses in moulden and driver so the house price will continue to go up. There are a lot of old run down places there. My friend has 2 IPs in moulden and gets around 240-250 a week for an average quialty house, he says its easy to get renters out there because of the price in town. Try and get 4 bedrooms if you can 4th room worth at least 100 a week extra.
    Have you looked at mitchell creek?
    I have got an IP in Lambells Lagoon, the price out that way has gone stupid in the last 6 months, a bare 5acre block now 150K plus! You cant get anythinhg worth living in under 300K now. I have only owned my 25 acres for 6 months and has gone up 50K
    I think darla 3 is bringing palmerston closer to howard springs/humpty doo which is driving the prices up

    Hi IAS
    I am looking at Bayview, the land has only been available for about 12 months so there is still a lot of building going on so you can still get reasonably good prices for new property. Also looking at tipperary same reasons.
    Good to see you got some positives out of your trip. Been given the same deal as you, but I dont think it is for me, sounds like they are pushing there own propertys to hard to be a good deal, if it was good value they would sell themselves. A bit like DHA houses are probibly 15-20K over priced but guarnteed rent for upto 12 years and refurbed at the end.

    You will have to look into the cost of owning property in QLD they have differnt rates/land tax and stamp duty than we do in the NT. Also you will be in Darwin and it will be in QLD so you will be relying on some else to sort out any problems. My experience with agents has led me to run my IPs myself!

    HI IAS
    DHA are keeping 300 houses for themselves and releasing the rest for the public, so I dont know how many want a block and how many want a DHA leased house/land. They were going to be sold for 200k but had over 3000 people apply to buy them before they new the price so how many turn into buyers is unknown, so they are now talking about an auction, but stage 2 will follow in the next 2 years or so and will be closer to the beach and with 3 storeys will have see veiws
