population growth will do better generally.

Look at the age of population too as it can help to determine a type of accomodation that…[Read more]

Hi Joel,

One of the approaches to predict good capital
growth is to look at the historical figures
for a given area. If that area consistently
performed well over decades, chances are it
will continue to do so in the future.

There is no one single source of information.
You can buy propery reports from http://www.homepriceguide.com.au/ as a…[Read more]

Thanks for that Michael.

Hi Paul,

Not a long time ago I’ve read a book called “The Sales Dog” by one of the friends of Robert Kyosaki. I’ve found the book to be a great source of behaviorial patterns of sales people in general. The book puts a funny prospective to it.
Every time I go and meet a real estate agent I subconsiously give them a tag. Some agents are like…[Read more]

Hi Entrepreneur,

I’ve found this website sometime ago. You can do
a title search there for a small fee and even
morgage details of the owner.
