I am not sure if that is a pot shot Richard (reading the papers and media hype comment which is inappropriate) but i’ll respond. I have a strong understanding of the market as I would not invest in any area if I did not, re on the spot, i’m in Brissy Wednesday and Thursday and I can read valuation reports.

Have an awesome day.

Cheers Ivan

Richard thanks for the comment, I love Mitchy, been investing in Mitchy for 4 years – have a property there myself – so im not too late. IT is a real cool suburb as I stated.

Cheers Ivan

Hi there –

Brisbane is an interesting place. Lots going on, be sure that you choose your strategy carefully as there are a few pockets of brissy with ‘oversupply’ particularly of units. There is a real cool suburb I like called Mitchelton – not overcrowded and lots to be positive about.

Cheers Ivan

Hi there –

Good on you!

1. Ask the aggregator for the best mentors ard
2. Depends on your contract with the bank, generally HR will do a search when you join on your company/ director holdings, and if they see it advertised you may get a call into the bosses office, regular for people to set up a company and get it moving before quitting (i.e…[Read more]

Sorry if I did not read this propertly, however are you under mentorship? if yes, will take 2 years of grind to get some real cash flow. Otherwise if you have your own credit rep – and own busienss this will be easier to get a bigger chunk of the pie.

All the best with it all and keep us posted to see how you are going. Its an exciting time in…[Read more]

Charlie – how long you been broking? Its a perfect time to win new clients, and perhaps focus on marketing to a specific niche, the upfronts will cover your costs and you can build your trail….then find a trail book later on. Also, look at what else are you providing other than broking? the market I believe will be based on a product suite…[Read more]

Ok maybe you should look at shares….this is a property forum, i’d say most punters here are looking at property = to buy or sell.

Yson – I assume it is a serious question, I would hope you would not consider investing in a mining town now or in the near future. Whether it is QLD or WA – there have been extreme horror stories. I am happy to share a number of these if you like – however I would suggest you move away from mining towns as a consideration for investment in the…[Read more]

Hi there – everyone I know that have proceeded have regretted it. Whats your strategy? people on here can help less the pricetag.

Would not touch Werribee or Geelong – Werribee is a spruiker haven at the moment particularly with H&L and the valuations are coming in very very low…

Hi there, depending on the size of the complex I may be interested. West Melbourne is obviously within walking distance to the CBD so very attractive for developers and buyers alike hence the supply of apartments. If you like you can send me the floorplan and the building and i’ll have a look at it. However, it needs to be less than 100 and…[Read more]

Good to hear Ryno – all the best with it mate, lets check back in 5 yrs with some fantastic news!

Cheers, Ivan

Hi Ryno – I would not invest in Ipswich – its 40 km from Brissy and over an hour by train. Not sure on the growth aspects for next 20 years either. Affordability and rental return maybe however Spruikers have heavily promoted Ipswich with dual occ stock generally overpriced. This is already priced into the area and my concern is distance to…[Read more]

Hi there –

Personally I would not touch Werribee whatever your strategy is.

Re St Albans – what is the strategy? for development? not much going on there to be truthful – so you would want to assess is this for investment – PPOR? if investments, house or unit? The good thing about St Albans is the proximity to the city however, it ain’t the top…[Read more]

Ajay – I lived in the states like you – however, why do you want to buy as many properties as possible with $300k?

What is the strategy? For me, there are drawbacks that need to be considered:
1. Exchange rate at sub 70 cents – more expensive to buy
2. Costs to structure the investment
3. Can you achieve Capital growth and yield? or is this a…[Read more]

Hello there – Welcome to the forum.

Not entirely certain you need a BA if you have done your reading and knowledge. Not sure its a great idea to entice SMSF either, you may get a barrage.

May be easier just to discuss your scenario – what are you trying to achieve? what is your borrowing power? what type of property are you trying to buy?

You…[Read more]
