    hi just go for whatever you want the fact that your doing any thing is a bonus in it self its good to get a head start on life  love wa lived there also lived in nsw and queensland now in sa i have to say sa is far the best for great priced property and they rent out fast the area thats best is goolwa. victor harbour . hindmarsh island  plenty of homes under 300.000 the reason i say buy under 300000 is they are  close to water or beach if you go up a little in price you get  water front for under 400000 have a look at the area you never know you may like it

    If you are not too worried about selling at a lower price then if you put the words "Motivated Seller" or "Must Sell due to ill Health" in your internet advertisement  you will attract investors. This is because those words end up in the search engines on the internet and when an investor is searching for a motivated seller they will search for those words and your advertisement will be in the search result.

    thanks will do look out for gumtree add in the next day or two but cant drop price to much already under house price value by many thousands

    Hi all,

    Thanks for your valuable insights.

    I am reading Michael Yarndey's book. It is interesting and useful.

    I guess in 2010, affordability is key for buying an asset in any of 3 major markets in Australia.

    I am also interested to find out about any historical studies done that shows trends in supply/demand Vs affordability in Brisbane,Sydney and Melbourne market for the past 100 years and projections of supply/demand for next 10-20 years.

    Were there similar or worse conditions in the past as compared with 2010 (except the great depression, world wars etc)?

    Any references to useful web-sites or articles is welcome.

    My next question is whether to go for a house,townhouse or unit in 2010 ?
    Are there any good holding costs calculators available on-line?

    Thank you very much again.

    Sincerely,
    WC

    hi have a look at sa victor harbour or goolwa area great areas and are on the move you can buy a house for around 200.000 to 250.000 some even less close to shops beach ect and will rent out before the ink is dry on contract

    Hi,

    I found an IP through the internet and negotiated the price, done the strata report. It all looked ok.
     
    but I couldnt inspect it in person due to working overseas at the moment. the agent sent me a few photos…..

    Can I go ahead and exchange? I have heard some people bought IPs from interstate.
    How did they do it?

    Please give me some advise
    Thanks in advance!!!!

    hi the first time my house sold was to a ip person sight unseen but i did send him lots and lots of info on area lots of photos of house info on shops schools also police report on area he loved it but strung me along for mths and in the end just could not get the money to buy house so if you have the funds ask lots of questions and ask for lots of info

    Hi everyone! 

    I enjoy reading all topics on the forum and what love any advice people are able to provide me.

    I am 22 and looking to purchase my first investment property within the next few months.  My plan is to buy a property and live it in for the first 6 months to claim the FHOG, then rent it out and move back home with my parents.

    I will be buying a property with the plan to hold it for at least 5 years and hope to purchase a 2nd property within 1-2 years.

    Can you recommend any suburbs within Sydney, under $300,000?  I have been looking at Merrylands, Rosehill, Werrington and the like.

    Alternatively, would I be best to forego the FHOG and purchase a cheaper property (or even land) in NSW?  I noticed the price of land in Griffith has reduced dramatically.

    Thanks in advance!

    hi would you look outside nsw i know  hindmarsh island marina in sa is ear marked to have prices jump to the high end in the next few years land dry blocks (land that does not face water) are selling from 75000 and the land has no time limit to build
