TAFE’s run dedicated owner builder courses. I am unsure of the total details and how they differ between states. You may even be classed as an owner builder if you do- as you said, supervise, organise, co-ordinate- you become the developer/builder- you then employ and co-ordinate the carpenters, plumbers, sparky’s- and so on.

Property passion- nah, don’t listen to the people telling you that you want to do it all too quick- go for it!!

Interest only is good for taxation purposes on cash flow type properties- i believe.

Is it possible that you can spend some time renovating or re-furbishing the existing properties to create more equity in them- therefore a greater…[Read more]

I agree that the youngsters should head out early. It is even more positive when they take the step themselves. I did so when I was twenty- which is probably well under average these days. Many people think that it will somehow get them ahead by staying at home that little longer to do or save for this and that. But a little longer seems to…[Read more]

Hey pkluge,

QUick reply- some may recall that I had a one bedder in “Uni-Lodge” complex- Margaret street in the city. Difference being they are extremely small. Good bit of cash flow, but capital gains was not going to happen. Had it for cash flow and was going to use it for self managed super. Sold it as I went into another venture.

Anyhow,…[Read more]

Yeah eBay is good. Auction houses.

Possibly wholesale outlets or importers.

I think that Brisbane City being second fastest growing was a lil over the top. But maybe he was refering to South East Queensland as a region?

Either way, it’s flying along. The amount of land being developed is crazy stuff. Went and checked out a couple new residential developments by the water today- sheesh, hello big…[Read more]

eeek, a kit? goodluck. Don’t know how much you are paying for the property, but I generally feel it is worth getting these sorts of things done professionally.

If you get stuck try MDRN at Capalaba orCleveland offices. They are great.

All the best.

All I can say is go for it! Of course, after you have done the R & D.

I am a full time renovator now. Though I am currently starting a business up in Data and communications to give me a second option, hopefully it will ramp up quickly and I can get someone working for me so that I can get back to focusing on property.

It’s much better if you…[Read more]

Hi Chris,

Yes, you can begin renovating the house before settlement day. It would have to be written into the contract. Be careful not to do too much- if you are allowed anything, mainly for your own good. It’s never a sale until settlement. Maybe spend a bit of time in their planning. If you are going full on reno, you may spend two weeks…[Read more]

If it is true, go for it!

If you do your research and find the rent does seem a little high, consider this:

The Seller may know the tenant or they may be family, or may ahve a deal that they sign a short term lease that has an excellent weekly dollar figure. For example:

Property normally rents for $350
Property has a lease signed for…[Read more]

Sorry, I didn’t read all of the replies, but it was suggested in one reply that property prices may decrease in Brisbane?? What!? That was a crazy statement, apologies to those who disagree, but really! Have a look at recent town planning, change in categories to create higher density housing, migration levels to Queensland, namely around…[Read more]

Never wait!

Hey Lachlan,

Give MDRN a buzz. They have an office in both Capalaba and Cleveland. MDRN conveyancing is who you will want.
They also have solicitors, lawyers etc.

Hope this helps.

CGU, Terri Scheer(Brisbane based), there are a few, some will not insure for you if it is self managed.

Hey Alex,

O.K. The laminate thing- if you wanna have a crack at it..good luck! I would suggest getting someone in to do it for you. I have my own cabinet maker who does odd jobs for me like that and the big stuff. So possibly get in touch with a cabinet maker about using laminex type products. If you get a good one they will point you in the…[Read more]

Hey again everyone,

Life X…….yes, the fans do actually have a remote control, similar to A/C,s etc. The bracket mounts on the wall where you can store the remote comtrol. You can pick it up, out of the bracket and put it wherever….a full on remote. yes, it is cheaper.

Though, as suggested if you are doing a new house it will only cost a…[Read more]

daaussie, sent this reply to your PM:

Hi there,

Apologies for the late reply.

Rental…you selling or continuing to rent it? Would have to look at that for durability. Also, look lsightly at durability for sale of a rental, but also the look will have to be spot on.

I just completed a bathroom last week. Tiled full wall with a lighter/natural…[Read more]
