    HI Everyone,
    I use to live in Middlemount for 13 years and would have to agree that it is a really nice lovely town
    I believe that Moranbah and also Blackwater have more available in terms of houses on the market,
    I would def buy in blackwater. I have also breifly live in blackwater aswell, its a typical mining town, lots of work around, only 2.5 hours to rockhampton, theres a airport there etc woolies
    cheap and exy homes, (mainly new house and land packages)
    would def buy in mining towns
    mel :-)

    Hey Everyone

    I am also in the middle of doing this and we are arent sure how to go about, or rather which is the better option

    The place that my sister and I have has been valued at $400k, we paid $336k for it in aug 07

    she has found a place that she is looking at buying in rockhampton, so I was initially going to buy her share out,

    It is a 60/40 split (me 60)

    after looking at buying her out I was going to be doing an injustice to myself , having to pay fees, stamp duty, cap gains etc

    so atm we have it on the market to sell, but then we have agents fees

    is there a way around this:? ie is there anything called a spousal deal? or something

    keen to find out some info

    cheers

    I think what I am able to ask is a little different,

    I have a purchased a house with my sister and its a 60/40 split,
    we now want to sell or I buy her out but I dont want to do an injustice to myself and out lay too much in fees ie cap gains, stamp duty
    should we sell or should I buy her out
    please advise,

    Hi,
    Firstly, check out this month's edition of 'Australian Property Investor' as I am featured on the front cover hehe :-)
    + I have purcahsed in Margate which I believe is a really good area. Deception Bay is the bronks! :-( Redcliffe is pretty good, Although if you were going to purchase I would suggest Woody Point (on the water but not bondi prices) also, Scarborough.
    Avoid brighton aswell.
    Hope this helps

    Hi Mel

    Wow, what a coincidence. I co-founded a property group (http://www.propertyknowledge.com.au), which aims to assist young professionals to invest in property.

    I am a property investor that started at a young age (19) and have learnt a lot along the way. 

    I would welcome the opportunity to talk to you about any potential opportunities in working together.

    DAEDALUS
    I from Middlemout, well originally. I live in Brisbane now and work in the mines west of Townsville. However, I have family there that still work in the mines. I grew up there and left when I was 13, I am 25 now. The town has definatly grown. I believe it is Laurie Daly that has a development on the corner there (heading into town , near the pool). I guess, the house prices in this town are all relative to the industry and current market for that area. Years ago it would have been crazy that a house would be 300-500k in a small mining town! I know that there are alot of CFP properties in Moranbah. would be good to get something there! I guess with everything though, in time the mining boom wil pity out. IN saying that though, I do know that there is at least another 15 years+ mining of coal in mines near Middlemount,, so ppl are always are going to be wanting to live somewhere.

    Ps check out my article in Australian Property Investor – May edition – young guns
    cheers
