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.

Hi Kehnan92

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]

Hi all

Great information… a very sincere thanks.

I am currently looking at a couple of small developments: One with DA approved for a duplex pair in Sth East Qld (I purchased the site some time ago) AND another in western suburbs of Sydney – new homes with 6 month delay on settlement of land.
