EP 61 - 10 Ways to Research Property in Brisbane

Brisbane houses are quite different in the inner city suburbs because of the way they were built in the 1800s and early 1900s.  Our Traditional Character Homes are often the most sought after type of property in the Blue chip locations of our city.  Many of these homes have identifiable features that tell a story from the past and this is what we discuss in this episode.

If you have an interest in the history of a home in Brisbane it is possible to find out a lot of information about when the home was built, who the builder and architect might have been and how the home might have changed over the decades since it was initially constructed.  You might also be able to find out who else has lived in your home in the past.

If you are wondering how to do this, tune into this episode for what you need to know.

EP60 - Understanding the Market Frenzy in Brisbane

The residential market in Brisbane has been in a rapid period of growth in months. Prices are escalating every week and with buyers who have been missing out, we are seeing that they are becoming even more eager to secure a property with every week that passes by. 

Buyers are even taking big risks just so that their offers are competitive. We are seeing buyers dropping out the finance clause and even eliminating the condition that allows them the security of a post-purchase building and pest inspection. 

This leads to the question … how long is this buyer frenzy likely to continue and when might the Brisbane Property Market start to slow down? This is what we cover in this episode.

EP 59 - Sophisticated Investment Strategies in Brisbane

In today's episode, we discuss various types of property investment strategies.

From entry-level property investing, which involves buying a property and renting it out long term, to more sophisticated strategies for those who prefer to take higher risks for higher returns. We outline what opportunities are available to property investors here in Brisbane.

With every strategy, property investors need to understand what is involved as well as when and where it works best. We discuss the pros and cons of being able to add value through renovations, knock-down rebuilds, and even developments such as subdivision projects and multiple dwellings.

We hope this provides some insights into the opportunities that exist in Brisbane for those investors looking to force more value into their portfolios.
