couldn't you use a normal landlords insurance poicy???

whyalla does seem to be an interesting spot… i've mostly found maisonettes and duplexes there though.. many only can be bought by owner occupiers

while you are interstate, i suppose you are planning to rent there, rather than purcahse another PPOR.. your changing circumstances can affect how your previous PPOR will be treated

The ABS should have that info about jobs and unemployment.. but as mentioend before, it might be a little outdated but should be updated soon

i love positively geared property… they put money into your pocket – not take money from it

Those are my ideal investments.. i also agree with thinking about it as a business. the name of the game is to make money!

i've found a number of income generating properties from regional centres… it can be very exciting when you find them

i suggest you do talk to an accountant to get an idea of the potential tax implications for your sspecific situation

agree that singapore is a very tiny country.

Since apartments are probably what foreigners like Aussies are going to buy, just wanted to know if Singapore apartments tend to have strata title on them?

i think you're probably better off with more cosmetic renovations – alot of buyers and renters base decisions on what they see and their emotional feelings about that…

i think you should also consider the demand for houses with solar panels in your area…

Renos seem to be the big thing right now, adn i'd also like to find out more about it.
but i'd also like to know if the complete reno system is worth it.. the price of it is quite high!
