    thanks all for your insight.
    the free pensioner train trip is no longer availiable and only offer half price fares. this would result in a 600 dollar return fare just for seating then with the cost of food and fuel to get around until a return trip is availiable is approx 200 dollars my partner is very sceptical and doesn’t really have any positive thoughts so far so therefor I am doing all the info searche’s and he doesn’t want me to go there alone as he wants to see it as well yet he doesn’t want to go alone and for both of us to go it is not possible to leave the kids with a family member or a babysitter as the are not willing.
    the area is only small but it is in town and has both primary schools and high schools and a hospital ect. the Idea of actually signing with conition of building and pest inspection has come up yet once again my partner is not willing to do so
    maybe it is better to just leave it as he is that dissinterested in making the effort to inquire more into it.
    he says he wants to own a house and that the price is good but wants to leave it at that.
    i am lost with what to do
    also the realestate is failing to reply to questions and a request for more photo’s and simply sends have to view property
    maybe it’s not meant to be.

    the property is in nth qld and is classed as rural we are able to get the first homeowners grant but will be using that for our deposit. although finance is not a problem this property will max it out but because we are both on pensions we want to try to get it to be able to have a bit more financial security and not be paying 200 a week on someone elses morgage. we have two children and one on the way so we are really anxious to own for them and us.
    have done some investigating on prices of building reports in the area and can get one for about 200 or so so i’m thinking that we will have to put at least this amount out to get any further.
    thankyou for your reply.

    thankyou for your reply
    yes asking price is 25 000
    I have looked at past sales in the area and one similar property in the area went for 15 000 but going by the photo’s the one I am interested in will need a roof repair, flooring and an exterior paint and is currently two flats to be converted into a house so work wise it is more than the 15 000 needed. This is based on the few photo’s I have recieved and land size is pretty much the same . I am really interested in it but dont want to go into it blind and over pay or fork out travel costs wich is about $800 just to find out that it was not worth it.

    Hi I dont so much as know gatton but in regards to other places i have been researching a small community called glenwood in the sunshine coast it is about 25min from gympie. the land there is around the 45 thousand for 1 1/2 to 2 acres. I was informed that the area itself was not looking to boom at a fast rate but more people are looking for the quiter suburbs that are still close to the bigger towns. alot of the propertys are only on the market for about a week or two.

    Hi i live just 10 minutes for coomera and have friends living in the area. my friends a paying $220 a week for a town house and house rentals are much hirer. suburb wise it is in my opinion that it is in the upper price bracket for rentals and buying.
    i have looked around and to find a property at 200 thou it sounds extremely good but of course it really depends on the position in coomera

    hope this is helpful and sorry for rambling on so much.
