    Thanks for your reply Matt,
                                                    It's not in Qld it's in NSW. I tried to do some research on the topic, but I couldn't find much.

    HI THERE,
    I HAVE DONE ALOT OF RESEARCH ON 21ST CENTURY. I KNOW THEIR PRODUCTS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE-PERIOD. RUN AN ASIC SEARCH TO START OFF WITH. SEE WHAT YOU CAN FIND………..
    ON THE CONCEPT OF RENTING SHARES,YOU HAVE OBVIOUSLY SEEN THE VIDEO AND/OR READ THE BOOK BY JAMIE MCNTIRE. YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT PUT/CALL OPTIONS AND COVERED CALLS. IF YOU ARE REALLY INTERESTED IN SHARE TRADING, TRY THE ASX WEBSITE AND SIGN UP FOR FREE FOR INVESTOR CLASSES. YOU CAN CREATE YOUR OWN WATCHLISTS. THERE IS THE SHAREMARKET GAME WHERE YOU GET TO TRADE A HYPOTHETICAL AMOUNT OF MONEY.STARTS ON THE 29TH OF MARCH REGISTER FOR FREE. I FOUND THE BOOK ”SHARE INVESTING FOR DUMMIES” VERY HELPFUL. LET ME KNOW HOW YOU GO.
    ALL THE BEST.[thumbsup2]

    Simon,
    I was refering to the experienced and established developers,not the build-your-own-home ones! My point was,they have the resources they need at their fingertips,everything at cost price,we don’t.
    Show me the money-my uncle built his own home and it was alot of heartache-and he is a builder.He saved around 30,000. If it’s going to be your ‘dream home’you can still be involved,i know i would.Get prices before you start and make sure everything is taken into account-remember murphy’s law!.In the mean time i’ll try and find some more information for you.

    Hi,
    I understand your thought-developers make extrodinary profits on each house,depending.However,they do get all the materials,labour and inspections at cost price.They have also made quite a profit from the land.If you have individually priced everything, i would be interested to see exactly how much you will save.On top of that you have to run around so your time is money too.Maybe you can find an independant builder who would be happy to let you do your own pricing and work for a specific area. eg-interior,like the kitchen,bathroom,etc or anything.Good luck and keep us posted!

    Hey there,
    That’s why it so important that you check it out yourself! I have been disapointed before with similar circumstances, truth be told, i don’t trust realestate agents anyway. These photos lure interstate investors. Hopefully you have someone you trust go and see it , maybe take photo before you outlay the expenses to fly there. Keep looking though,everything happens for a reason. Good luck
