Yeah true. From what I understand they don't sell properties, just have information about properties and trends and things like that. stuff you can get for free from state and federal websites. The federal government has pretty good records of where people are leaving and where they are going, employment trends, future growth trends.

From what I understand, services industry, mainly hospital and elderly care are on the up. So places like that MAY be good. Back to the main point, they charge because they compile everything into one place. Do it for free and search the government websites your self, search industry leading and real estate websites your self. Out of curiosity I got onto the TD Bank website and VERY easily found a list of ALL their bank owned properties. That included commercial, residential and land, where it was located and most of them had the agent to contacts name.

So if it's not obvious, my opinion would be to bookmark real estate, banks and federal government websites and use them for all they are worth, instead of $50 a month. Sorry that it's long winded, I'm hungry.

Hi my name is Matthew.

I live in Townsville, QLD but moving to Melbourne soon.

I am interested in an international property portfolio, so here to learn what I can and find like minded people.

Hi all,
           Just found this thread. I am moving to Melbourne in July 2012, going to finish off uni at La Trobe in Bundoora. Do you all still live in Melbourne or has there been a mass exodus? haha

It'd be great to meet up with like wise people, I'm only just getting onto this path, no ITIN, no LLC or anything yet.

Matthew
