Hi There
Im new to the property game.Im looking for property related web sites with FREE and useful information.
Does anyone know of such sites with a good source of property info??
Maybe someone can point me in the direction of a previous post with a list of web sites.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi L.A. Aussie,
The following would be nice:
– Hotspots – ie where are people buying, where should they buy.
– National Auction results.
– Tips sites for buying/selling.
– Tips on which Agents to use/not use.
– General Suburb info, ie Suburb demographic, suburb rates etc.
– Other decent forum sites such as this one.
Basically any valuable info required when buying an IP.

Still quite happy with the purchase – seems I always do things 'differently' anyway so this is no exception!
Cheers
StellaCould be worse. My IP is in the shoalhaven on the nsw south coast. Apparently we have the highest unemployment in australia.
Over 13 %Dont forget your local library is fantastic. They have all the current property mags, books, reference material, etc.
You can spend days in there and learn so much!
Oh they also have internet. A full turnkey solution and all free.
Hi Bardon /all
I read your list with Interest a few weeks ago, and didnt do anything with it until I saw it again tonight. By total coincidence I have just signed a contract for a Brand new property in Sandstone Point! First House IP – I am hoping for the Capital Growth . I paid slightly more than a property in Bellmere ( Caboolture ) for similar rent, but it is still majorly negativley geared! ………………………….
If anyone has any tips on my next purchase on how to source new positive cash flow that would be great. It has not gone unconditional yet so please let me know your thoughts.
Does anybody have the calculator that all the Property Investing companies use ( allowing for depreciation, tax etc ) telling you what you out of pocket per week will be ?
With Many Thanks

Dear Katrina,
Although Residex report is popular among investors, I do not think they are as good as I was told. Residex reports from 2005 onwards, have not been any good at all. In early 2005 to mid 2006, they have been predicting excellent growth in Sydney, which of course did not happen. Worse still, they were predicting Brisbane house growth to be at around 5% per annum for 2005 to 2010, which in fact was totally wrong as Brisbane hit around 17% this year.
I must admit I am a total nerd in researching for suburbs with excellent growth around Australia. There is no doubt I would agree South East Queensland would the place to invest.
From the list provided by Brandon above, there are only a couple of them which I am truly believe will provide good growth. And, sorry to say Sandstone is not one of them.
I do agree that Brisbane outer North suburbs would provide excellent growth for the next 5 to 7 years. However, for the past 2 years, population growth in the Caboolture has slowed down. From recent reports from the ABS, I noticed the trend now is moving nearer to the CBD. You might want to have a look at Strathpine area which is also at outer North of Brisbane but within 18 to 25 kilometers from the CBD. Let us compare…
I believe for an average new 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms house built in Sandstone will cost around 370 000 – 500 000 depending on age, size of land and quality of the house. The rent would roughly be around 330 to 400 per week.
Compare it with Murrumba Downs (23,24 kms) and Griffin (22 kms). Both suburbs are side by side and has almost the same median prices and rent yields. The houses in the area are roughly 2-8 years old. Median price for 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms houses in the area is 370 000. The rent yields are outstanding, between 340 and 420 per week. Due to great influx of demand in the area, the rent is set to rise significantly in near future.
If you love to buy off the plan to save stamp duty and/or have your own design for the house, you might want to have a look at suburbs like Warner and North Lakes. Recently, I received brochures of new land being released in those suburbs. You can have a look at http://www.realestate.com.au under New Land Estates section and search for those suburbs. They are in Strathpine area as well.
My 5 best recommendations for growth in South East Queensland:
Chermside West
Herston
Murrumba Downs/Griffin
Inala
Coomera/Upper Coomera/OxenfordGo for growth as it is the best way to get leverage for your next property quicker!!!
All the best for your investment.
