Hi Simone
I would be careful buying on a main road because you limit your market when re-selling – many folks will not buy on a main road. Also be careful of median prices as they only give an indication (a starting point). Medians tend to provide more information about what’s been selling rather than what a particular area’s property is…[Read more]

Hi Kehnan92
We’re currently doing a couple of developments in Sydney’s western suburbs. Building and carpentry skills are certainly helpful BUT unnecessary. My best advice to you is not to rush things.
Firstly, as with any investment, make sure your numbers stack up. When you’re ready, start by ‘cutting your teeth’ on a small investment – maybe…[Read more]
