Jeff Johnson replied to the topic Hot Markets around Australia in the forum I think it is a great place 16 years, 6 months ago
I think it is a great place to be looking at present. Compared to other coastal areas it is by far cheaper and has not seen significant gains in recent years. New development of the pub/caravan park in the planning and the suitability of the area to retirees are definite positives. It is only half an hour away from port hinchinbrook, less than one…[Read more]
Jeff Johnson replied to the topic RP Data info in the forum Creative Investing 16 years, 6 months ago
RP data and PDS are appealing the courts decision. They argue that the ability to view personal details is the only way to guage whether a transaction is legitimate. The transparency of ownership details prevents companies , or individuals from wrongly influencing sales data to portray inaccurate sales figures. Every user who subscribes to these d…[Read more]

In my opinion showing before photos is a good idea. Maybe print copies or offer to email them.It would be good to show receipts for the improvements too.Very recent sales data would also smooth the way. The databases the valuers access can take over a month or two after settlement to show up. If you contact agents operating locally and get…[Read more]
Jeff Johnson replied to the topic Woolworths Coming in the forum General Property 16 years, 6 months ago
Personally I would view it as a positive sign. As Matt said, they tend to do their homework and their projections must add up for the big commercial players investing in development. Same can be said for large govt spending infrastructure like hospitals tafe etc.It is a shame about the smaller retailers being swallowed up in the process but that i…[Read more]

Hello Molly,Is the 700p/m each or all up. If it is all up that's $54 per week each. Personally I make significant lifestyle sacrifices now to hold properties to enable a better lifestyle later.You may look back and regret it if you sell now. See if you are maximising the potential of the property . eg; Are you using depreciation? Are you fi…[Read more]

RP data stats are vague at best within its demographics area.Townsville has recently merged with its outer suburbs "twin city"thuringowa so the data will be affected.Ingham used to include palm island in its census but no longer does. This combined with the Ingham hospital not currently having a maternity ward( new hospital is under construction…[Read more]

The lease is technically between the property and tenant, not the owner so the property changing hands does not affect the lease.

I can email a report if you don't have one yet.Many of the reports available to the public are not very comprehensive and a lot of them sell the info about who is looking at their property's value to agents so they can contact and try to list.I am in Townsville but can access Bris data and will not pass on details or hassle you to list

True, but Ingham hasn't taken off yet. A bit late for Mackay and BowenThe thing with the cane areas is that the majority of the casual work is seasonal around the crush. People have the impression that they can't buy because of this and are happy to rent.Some good sets of flats pop up in ayr, ingham and home hill. Some good value adding in renos b…[Read more]

Jeff Johnson replied to the topic To Auction or not ? in the forum General Property 16 years, 7 months ago
Auctions can work well in any market but only if the agent is well versed at conducting and marketing an auction campaign.It is easier to say the unique and high interest properties are good for auction but it can also draw attention to an average property in a marketplace where there are many similar listings. It comes down to the agent's skills…[Read more]

I'm guessing many people in Sydney followed this same advice during the past 3 years or so and soon found that they owed a lot more on their property than what it was worth…In Steve's book "0 to 260+ Properties in 7 Years" he advises to sell some of your property portfolio in a downturn – certainly not to acquire more property.
