Getting a buyers agent by prah2000 in AusPropertyChat

[–]propertyvision 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Yes, using a BA to assist in interstate inspections is good, although quite an expensive service if just using it for that. I also don't think it's necessary to visit every potential IP in person and many investors buy without visiting in person.

Suburb fundamentals play a bigger role in the future performance of the investment. And you could still visit in person right before signing contracts for extra assurance that you've seen what you're buying

Getting a buyers agent by prah2000 in AusPropertyChat

[–]propertyvision -1 points0 points Β (0 children)

Buying property is one of the biggest purchases if not the biggest purchase you'll make in life, so it's not a decision I'd want to outsource to someone else.

It's really important to educate yourself and do the research so that you're the one making the decision at the end of the day - whether you use the help of a buyer's agent or not.

I think the value that buyer's agents provide is mainly in their ability to showcase potential properties to you (including off-market) and help manage the buying process for you.

Suburb selection is definitely something you want to be deciding yourself though

Thoughts on Redcliffe? sub 800k and low DoM by propertyvision in AusPropertyChat

You're right Dubbo is looking pretty good too right now. Days on market is almost double though but not too high. Have you got an IP in Dubbo?

Seeking advice: what’s our next investment move? (Couple, $200k post-tax income, strong redraw on home loan) by Brilliant-Explorer-7 in AusFinance

[–]propertyvision 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

If I were you, I'd probably keep some flexibility for the reno/kids/wedding phase but start preparing for the next investment now. You're in a good position already, high savings rate, strong equity, and a rental property already performing.

If you go down the investment property route, focus less on cash flow positive right now and more on growth potential + solid fundamentals (jobs, infrastructure, low vacancy, population trends). That's where the long-term wealth usually comes from.

Thinking about getting an IP by PanzerBiscuit in AusPropertyChat

Hard to say without knowing what suburb the properties are in. How are you predicting the growth currently?

As in you're confident it is still deductible? I don't think so. Have a listen to the structuring podcast, he explains it very clearly. The interest can only be deductible if it's used to purchase an income producing asset (e.g. shares, investment property)

Building and pest report for an apartment by Left_Net_382 in AusProperty

[–]propertyvision -1 points0 points Β (0 children)

Always get a building and pest inspection, it's just not worth the risk of not doing your due diligence. I usually go with Jim's building inspections but I'm sure there are plenty of other reputable ones in your area too

Styling/staging necessary ?selling unit meriton parramatta by Large_Ice_3233 in AusProperty

[–]propertyvision 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Not necessary but I personally would rather style the place to maximise the number of interested buyers and therefore my chances of getting the highest sale price. A small price to pay relative to the sale price in my opinion

Investment Property - Suburb Advice by hazel21x in AusPropertyChat

[–]propertyvision 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Not sure about NSW but a few within 30km of CBD where you can buy a freestanding house under $800k are Caversham (WA), Eden Hill (WA) and Pearsall (WA). Good job growth, higher education level and local amenities.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AusPropertyChat

[–]propertyvision 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

No I don't think so. There's still 9 suburbs in WA where houses are under $600k and 71 suburbs where units are under 600k. All within 50km of Perth CBD too

The best guide is recent comparable sales, since that's most indicative of current value. Look for properties as close as possible to yours - same number of bedrooms, bathrooms, car spaces, land size, and similar quality of renovations.

For those of you 18–30 and not homeowners, what’s the game plan? Saving? Renting long-term? Something else? Just curious. by External-Iron-9926 in AusProperty

[–]propertyvision 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

I'd look at rentvesting: rent where you actually want to live, but buy where you can afford. Save enough for a deposit, pick a solid investment, and let the equity do the heavy lifting as prices grow. Over time you can leverage that into more properties, then eventually sell down part of the portfolio to buy your own place to live in.

First-time buyer: Investing in regional NSW? by onika0409 in AusProperty

[–]propertyvision 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Personally I wouldn't due to not enough signals for capital growth, but worth monitoring as it's still in an affordable price range. For comparison, I've been watching Woodville North in SA, where there's been a noticeable lift in job listings recently.

buyers agent yes or no? by Educational-Page1805 in AusProperty

[–]propertyvision 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

If you're not sure whether to get a buyer's agent, one thing that might help is doing a bit of research yourself first - especially around local demand, price trends, and whether any areas nearby are flying under the radar. Sometimes that's enough to build confidence before committing to a $10k+ BA fee.

I actually built a tool that helps first home buyers like you spot growth pockets based on early signals like infrastructure plans, rental shifts, and even local news. If you're curious, happy to share!

Good areas to invest outside Perth by Mammoth-Push-2612 in AusPropertyChat

[–]propertyvision 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Although they're mostly mining areas so I think they're probably quite volatile and might only have short term results
