Location location Location
One of the main important consideration when buying property its location.
When assessing the area where to buy you have to consider the following factors:
- Is it close to places of work? how long does the commuting will take?
- Is there adequate parking?
- Is it close to public transport?
- Is it in a growth suburb or has it already boomed?
- Is there noise from traffic, trains, planes and factories?
- Is it close to amenities?
Look at google maps or a street directory to find out more about the suburbs amenities and transport. Also make sure if there is a project under way in the area, this can potentially affect the value of the property in a good or bad way. Loss of view, for instance, can have a serious impact in the market value.

Quotables Quotes by Donald Tump
Business is an art whether its real estate or anything else. Treat it that way by developing your technique being tenacious and remaining passionate.
Real estate has a way of evening itself out. There are always ups and downs and that;s a fact not an aberration.
Don't depend on anyone else for providing your financial security.
Big problems can equal big opportunities.
