    thanks – BTW, when you say this how does this occur (ok a IP newbie question) – does this occur just based on investors who have given real estate agents their details, i.e. and then once the RE agent has a new property they ring around their list of investors they know who are looking? How can people decide to buy in such a short length of time, e.g. seeing the property / building inspection / pest inspection etc?

    I would reconmend any of the areas you suggest, but with a budget of 300k may restrict you to Ipswich,

    Tks Sean – You might be right. What do you think however of the distance from Ipswich to the City however? I don't have much of a background in Ipswich at the moment but have the impression/perception that Redbank, Goodna, Riverview would be closer for people commuting to the City. If the market does slow down I'm wondering whether that would impact Ipswich suberbs before it affected others closer to the City? What do you think?

    do you know if they charge for an initial consultation?   Or how engaging them works?  Like I guess you need to decide what deliverable you want out of them in terms of a plan or document….

    the other concept I was thinking of was developing my own plan but then getting it validated by a financial advisor – hopefully this would be cheaper too than paying $800-$1000 to someone to develop an overall plan…comments?

    re "licensed financial planner" – probably a dumb question, however how can I get a list of licensed financial planners in Brisbane?  Who are they licensed with?
    Thanks

    Actually I didn't write this one down after my call to my Super scheme – perhaps it was 2 months – will have to double check.

    Get advice

    Actual – who would you recommend to get advice on this front?  i.e. would financial advisors cover this area?  if you get advice from other insurance companies I'd be concerned they'd be biased
