If you want to find further information on the regional town or city you could also search for information on future business development.

For example: If you know that a big corporation or government department is investing in the area, then obviously jobs will be created. People are needed to fill the jobs, and those very people need houses to…[Read more]

I haven’t read any of the replies to your submission. I’m sure there are some great ideas and responses, and perhaps my thoughts have already been posted, but I’ll stick them here anyways…

Have you considered purchasing a Lease Option? That way you can rent it now and buy it in the future when you’ll have saved some cash for your deposit?

I think it depends on what development you’re doing and where it is.

Differant areas in Queensland are different markets.

I know people who have made lots of money in Queensland property and other who have lost.

Either way do your due diligence well and just because the market sentiment may be down or stagnant don’t let it stop you from doing…[Read more]

Oh dear. Sometimes it’s best not to leverage the capital of your family members. Especially if you want to know what good TRICKS you can use on tricking them to putting their home on the line to lend you money to purchase a business.

Put it this way, if you went to a bank or financial lender, do you think they would offer you a loan to buy a…[Read more]

Not sure of anybody investing there, nor of any resources. Perhaps a Google search will locate something.

I do know that they have land taxes in Canada. And it’s possible that this could vary between states and provinces.

Canada is very provincial, possibly more so than Australia. Each state has a variety of taxes and laws.

A Call Option is when you negotiate the right (but not the obligation) to buy the property for a specific set price, at a specific date in the future.

So you have the right to buy the property, but you are not obligated to buy it if your circumstances stage or if you no longer want to buy it.

How it works:

There are many ways you can get this…[Read more]

It’s more expensive than “project homes” but team an architect and a good builder and you’ll get far better quality in your completed project.

Also it may be quicker as some spec homes can take over 18 months to complete – and they are basically kits (rooms banged-up together).

There would be literally thousands of home design programs on the market.

Run a google search for them and you’ll be surprised how many are out there.

Some of these cost thousands while others are less expensive.

I’ve played with some demo versions and so far I have not found a “simple” program. They all required hours (and hours) of…[Read more]

You shouldn’t have any problems with your DA going through council provided you adhere to their building regulations.

That’s of course if you want to do it legally. Some people don’t advise their council of doing this and make adjustments to their property to gain some cashflow.

I’m in Sydney – never been to Melbourne so I can’t help you there.

However, I would start with a solicitor who knows about wraps. There are specialist property solicitors in the world who have experience with this.

Once you have one of these on your team working for you then the rest could be easier – finding a property, a buyer, and then stitch…[Read more]

Good luck finding a mentor! They are almost a scarce as hens teeth.

Read and learn more about investing and property. Attend courses (good value courses – that’s doesn’t necessarily mean spending $5ooo on a course).

Get out and hit the pavement and attend open instpections. Take a pen and pad and write things down when you do. Begin analysing…[Read more]

I didn’t see what the Reno Kings attempted. It might be possible to do a small reno in 12 hours but that would obviously depend on what you needed to do.

Believe me (I’m as a tradesman) and these hit TV shows on DIY renovations aren’t what they appear to be. You don’t see the 50+ labourers in the background what the camera rolls, but once that…[Read more]

It really all depends on what you want.

Do you want the cash now? Or do you want to develop the property, and take (possibly) a greater profit later?

What homework (financial plan) have you done on this development? What are the possibilities? What are the probabilities?

Do a plan and work out costs and sort out what will work from what will…[Read more]
