Large areas seem cheap, and realistically they are only missing some internal walls and a bathroom.
If I find a part of a commercial high rise floor with a Kitchenette would that be enough to add a bathroom? Only problem is the waste pipe would not be as big as a traditional…[Read more]

Hi,
I have made the commitment to sell with Purple Bricks. You have to pay upfront.
I have had my Brisbane unit for sale for 6 weeks. The agent says there has not been one inquiry. I find it strange, even a low ball offer is better than nothing, no one attended the open houses? Is this just the market because there are too many brand new units for…[Read more]

So I need to answer calls,…[Read more]

In last months Money magazine, I really enjoyed reading about Australian Real Estate Investment Trusts (A-REIT’s). This type of investment interests me but the article lacked enough information for me to make the jump. This type of investment is hard for a mum and dad type investor because a bank doesn’t give you a loan for $100k for a liquid t…[Read more]

I am a seasoned Australian investor.
What are the differences investing in NZ?

What is the cost of…[Read more]
