Hi Dorthy, []
1. Check if you can obtain a loan for relocatables. Wait for a mortgage broker to answer this question for you.
2. On the investment front you first start out with a budget. This has a lot to do with your investment strategy. You need to consider is it to be cash flow positive or capital growth with a negative cashflow? What…[Read more]

Hi Caddy222,[]

Hi prop16,[]

For that sort of outlay you woud be better off buying a new house and land package as it is the land portion of a property that appreciates.

Hi caz,[]

Separate ideas into those that cause more work for a tennant, ie spa,swimming pool and those that simplify their life, ie woodchip on garden areas.

Concentrate on modernising bathrooms and kitchens

Hi Alf,[]
The main reason to keep a property is that is either an appreciating asset or is a scource of income.Risks with property are quite low so the main reason to sell is your financial position,unless of course you have used value adding methods such as renos or wraps to flick on when finished.

Hi Johnny,[]

The book “Confessions of a Real Estate Agent” will answer most of your questions.It is written by Terry Ryder and I prefer it to Jenmans book “Dont Sign Anything”.

Hi Sjs[]
This can be quite profitable if you convert the zoning to townhouses. This should raise the current property value of the project by a factor of 1.7.(instead of finishing up with 2 houses you could have 5 townhouses.] The council could give you access to a town planner in order to do this at a later stage.
First you must do a…[Read more]

In order to purchase a good investment, capital growth and/or positive cashflow is required.
As land appreciates and buildings depreciate, it is hard to justify good capital growth due to the lack of land content in an apartment [unless it is somewhere like Toorak].
