– Written by Bec (B1) Wow I’m exhausted… that’s what I was feeling when we finally landed back in Sydney after two weeks in the USA. I’ll be the first to admit that I had always thought what Todd did on his USA buying trips really wasn’t a lot. Yeah […]

We’ve all seen ‘The Current Affair’ horror stories of tenants in Australia trashing investment properties. It’s a vendor’s worst nightmare. I can honestly say that I have never had an investment property of mine trashed. I have, however, had to boot out a tenant for not paying their rent. When […]

For a long time, the Sunny Coast has been a great location for holiday goers and property investors. It’s a strong market for those with enough extra cash to even own a holiday house or investment unit in Noosa and the surrounding suburbs, so that they could holiday cheaply and […]

Every now and again, I get a bad feeling in my stomach that things are just not right. And I’m getting that feeling now about the mortgage world. Usually when I get this feeling, it’s when I travel to a new investing location to buy houses and something jumps out […]
