    In my personal opinion, it’s not the best place. However, real estate investment is a pretty stable business. If it were me though, I’d invest somewhere in Melbourne, preferably the east side

      I found http://www.bestwindowtreatments.com/ pretty good, but it really depends. Anything that is of aesthetic appeal will add value to your house.

    Like others have stated, it really depends if you have done this before. If not, I would look for a place near shops, schools, workplaces- anything that might be of convenience to someone else.

    It really depends, but I would recommend anyone considering this operation to be extremely cautious. My father had this operation, and he was really happy with the results. A few of my friends fathers had this also, and they were happy. However, do not be deluded into thinking that LASIK is safe in any way or form, a lot of complications have occurred, and I myself have heard dozens of horror stories.

    I agree with everyone else who has posted. Be extremely cautious when purchasing on the internet. I would suggest finding and contacting a US real estate agency for its validity. Or if you have any friends in the US (or friends with friends in the US), you could get them to do this for you.

    i think you'll need 1) accountant, 2) solicitor and 3) mortgage broker… do you already have these advisors on your team?

    i agree that it would be a very bad idea to borrow the whole amount.
    If you plan to borrow more, then try and lower your LVR… the 80% LVR would be better

    try to get "rent to buy", lease options or a deposit financing option. Also try to check out realestate.com.au and other real estate websites and even ask the seller whether they offer creative selling

    i have been saving for a few years now with a deposit of 20-30k….
    i used the first home savers account and will use the FHOG to help me out. I'll buy a PPOR with it and then convert it to an IP – you could do this as well.

    Good luck!

    some tips could be: ask the neighbours, or if there is a vacant house or a mailbox, then write a letter and leave it in the mailbox or slide it under the front door

    just keep saving for your deposit.. or you could be creative and ask the vendor for finance for the deposit

    i just got an ipad as a present =)
    will be opening it up soon and playing with it – hopefully to access the forum on it too.

    Hopefully there's no dramas
