Interesting vid Engelo. I tend to agree with some of the feedback but certainly not all.

For $500 Australian get yourself a gopro and shoot in 1080P or 4K (will be slow but well worth it as video processing technology catches up). They would have to be a hell of a lot cheaper in the US??

I completely disagree. Do you honestly think people…[Read more]

I know you run a buyers agency but you could me give a little more fat to chew on.. Coastal?

A two tiered Queensland Market. If population numbers are decreasing in the Northern mining towns – where are people going? Interesting to see the migration stats if anyone knows where to find them?

My family were 10 pound poms. In general most are honest hard working people. Plus they love a sea change. Saw your portfolio suburb list on somersoft Richard. I was wondering why you haven’t ventured further into the coastal areas to diversify?

Depends where you buy. We considered buying in our own names initially to take advantage of First Home Buyers incentives. Not much of them around these days though unless you want to buy new.

There’s nothing like both signing the docs on your first loan together though.

And so it hits the mainstream media…

There is certain areas of Buderim stock I wouldn’t touch with a ten foot barge pole. Especially refurbished and new apartments that have been build ‘on top’. My pick are the detached houses, with value gain through reno’s. Houses are still way off their peak and people are still dazed from the declines post GFC.

Good to hear you got in early – if…[Read more]

Yeah its amazing the activity that is going on up here without the greater public taking much note. Had one of our Buderim investment properties re-valued last week that we bought in April 2013. 20% capital gain in little over a year. So much for the boom that’s going on in Sydney. Wake up people!

Anyone that get’s into the Maroochydore CBD…[Read more]

I can highly recommend Sophie Lever at Lever Law, Twin Waters (Sunshine Coast). Cost is about $1490 for conveyancing of an investment property. Professional, friendly, fast and reliable.

While I’m here, can anyone recommend a good property accountant? I feel the team is being let down a little in this department at present!

Good to hear you…[Read more]

Thought I’d share a link that shows me combining my two hobbies: property investing and surfing.

Within I detail my latest investment and provide a snapshot of the infrastructure to come at this neat little pocket on the QLD coast.

Spot on jp. Mindset is everything.

Last week our third investment property went unconditional, a massive achievement for us. After countless hours researching we found a cracker of a property. The house lies 1km from the ‘to be’ largest hospital precinct in the southern hemisphere and 1km from a patrolled beach. Another renovator which I’m jumping out of my skin to tackle, despite…[Read more]

Age also brings with it cynicism and over-analysis. Seems like you have been chewing on this for so long its time to spit it out.

Great article! I love this stuff. If anything it proves my point that you are jumping the gun.

I see your point simple though the two variables are obviously heavily related to one another in the grand scheme of things.

During the good times of accelerated CapEx the high wages and profitability margins are to be expected. Comparisons should be taken lightly as we move into the production phase – as far as the mining sector goes anyway. I…[Read more]
