IPSWICH TO REVIVE INNER CITY
The good news for my private clients – and other residential real estate investors who target Ipswich – just keeps getting better.
Now the Ipswich City Council has purchased the major – but outdated – Ipswich City Square Shopping Centre and will guide its redevelopment.
Built over 30 years ago, the Centre has been neglected by its owners, and has suffered badly with competition from the new RiverLink shopping centre, just across the Bremer River.
The Council will plan the redevelopment, and will call for tenders to complete the works. It will not become the developer itself.
When completed in four years, the site will be able to accommodate 10,000 workers in high rise buildings, as well as both retail and commercial space.
Ipswich has 43% of all industrial land in south east Queensland, and experts predict that the surging support sector will ensure that this development will be a success.

PROVEN WAYS TO INVEST IN PROPERTY
Many people agree that buying property is an excellent investment. However not many know where they should start or who to turn to for investment guidance.
Then there are those who fear doing the wrong thing and end up doing nothing. In light of this hesitant attitude, here are a few tips and property investment advice that would help you embark on your investing journey with confidence.
Firstly - why property investment?
Property investment remains a popular alternative for many people who consider it a stable and conservative investment vehicle especially in the long term.
Investing in property is seen as a route by which: income returns can be produced throughout the period of possession; relatively safe capital gains can be earned on an eventual sale; and mortgage finance is covered in repayment terms by the security of the eventual property sale and by the rental income in interest terms.
Different factors contribute to the growth of property investments. These include: huge population growth, increasing migration, slow government housing policy that results in chronic undersupply of housing, rising numbers of single households, and a mobile labour force that demands short term accommodations to meet more flexible needs.
All these issues are expected to sustain and boost average property prices and step up the need and number of rental properties in the coming decade.
I share residential investment properties with my private clients that match all of these requirements, and then package them so that they can be certain of “least money in, maximum money out”.
My focus is on assisting you achieve 20-25 years of dignified retirement.

NSW LAND TAX WILL RISE
Because the economic difficulties faced by the government of New South Wales are increasing, it is casting about for more revenue streams.
Now the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal has thrown the government a lifeline.
The Tribunal’s view is that stamp duty is one of NSW’s “most inefficient taxes” and the state should consider boosting revenue from a more efficient tax - land tax.
Now you can see what is about to happen. Yep.
You don’t have to be very bright to realise that land tax in NSW will soon increase.
Which underscores the value of the investment strategy that I share with my private clients.
If you don’t have enough for 20-25 years of a dignified retirement, I can help you explore your options.

ANOTHER REASON TO DISLIKE APARTMENTS
Over the past 10 years, house prices have increased 150% but home units and apartments have only increased 120%, says Australian Property Monitors.
Regular readers of this newsletter know that I dislike apartments as an investment – you’ll remember that I go on about the unnecessary expense of on-going management fees but of course the real killer when you run the numbers is your exit strategy.
Off-the-plan family homes in a growth corridor where rents are higher, where land taxes are lower, and adjacent to a major economic zone, are what an astute investor is after.
And now we have this confirmation that their capital growth is slower compared to family homes.
My private clients are delighted with the results they have achieved following my strategy, and notwithstanding all the doom and gloom in the newspapers at the moment, I truly can’t see why history won’t repeat itself, and housing values will continue to increase over the long haul.
If you don’t have enough for 20-25 years of dignified retirement, I can give you some options.
