Thanks for that Paul.  Much appreciated. Janice

Hi Peachy.

Dog is now in new home in Perth I am afraid.  Sonar in Tom Price is a long way from Mackay.  The local renovation mob had one. 

Cheers,

Janice

Hey Dubstep.   Unfortunately I live in WA!   He was a pound rescue that I was fostering.   Should have rented him out as water diviner dog! 

Hi Peachy,

Sorry to hear of your dilemma.  I also have an investment property in Mackay so would love to know the name of the plumber not to use.

I live in a mining town in a 40 year old house owned by Rio.  Our pipework sprung a leak, luckily not under the house but under the patio slab.  They brought in the sonar device but could only manage…[Read more]

Chooky, people pull out of contracts all the time.  I think it is a wise decision in this case.  Probably a good move before you buy your next property is to get educated.  I am doing Steve McKnight's course and now I won't touch anything new (unless i build it myself!).   Cheers, Janice

Josh has great value packages (see above).   His prices are good.  I have a property in Plantation Palms Rural View and it is renting as of last week for $660 pw unfurnished.   Rural view and the northern beaches areas in general seem to be very popular.   What do the locals think?

Hi Terry, Is it an advantage or disadvantage to have a trust in regards to land tax?  We currently have focused mostly on buying in QLD up to now and may buy more in the future – but these houses are in our name.  Partner is on good wage, I am on low wage due to part time work.  We want to minimise CGT.  Death- hopefully not for a while – but have…[Read more]

I am pretty happy that my new 4 x 2 house in Rural View that has just been built will be achieving around $700 pw rent a 8.4% yield on purchase price.  This rent is $170 higher than was originally appraised 6 months ago, so yes, I would say mackay is going great guns. 

http://www.qldreconstruction.org.au/flood-check-mapCheck out the flood mapping for emerald and other places in QLD on this map.  As you will see most of emerald flooded!  Taxdiva – my property was near the shops, new group of properties in old area so not in one of the new estates.  No idea what suburb.  Cheers. Janice

I bought  new in Emerald (settlement last dec).  Very happy, rental vacancies low,  getting $950 pw for fully furnished house bought for $455,000 furnished.  To me this price is much much less risky than moranbah and check out the return!  Tenant is a corporate tenant and they even do their own cleaning and the people who stay there have thei…[Read more]

Hi, We bought 3 properties in 6 months using up our equity in our home.  We used a broker and two different lenders with no problems.  However a friend who is on a much better wicket than us and with more equity applied to borrow for two houses at once (approx $450,000 each) using a trust setup and the bank pulled out at the last minute and both p…[Read more]

Hi Janice,Always a good idea to contact the council in the area you intend to buy and find out the requirements before you start putting in offers.Is it a subdivision you are doing or a build as well. I'm a bit confused by your post. A simple subdivision won't cost too much at all.A great little resource came my way today that…[Read more]

Yes, very happy with mine, new property completed in December with great corporate tenant, 12% gross yield in furnished house.

Interesting reading thanks Jamie.
