Biggest Regrets in the last 5 years?

Did something similar. Back then the general yield for Melbourne will not work for my criteria (though CG would have!)

 

I've always wondered about the term "villa" in South East Asia especially resorts they are generally referred to as bigger style accommodation like houses in the West with a pool.

 

Yep never heard of villas used.

 

Buying 2 in Gladstone in 2011

 

Villa's is a common description in Victoria, refers to a strata titled single level unit.

I've owned a number of these, below is a typical example.

7/125-127 Thomas Street, Hampton, Vic 3188

7/125-127 Thomas Street, Hampton
Unexpectedly spacious and enviably quiet, this tastefully renovated, two bedroom villa is a light-filled sanctuary,

 

I live in a Torrens Titled villa here in Yamba. Single level, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, large garage, small yard. Absolutely perfect for me. Only 2 on the block. The other, is 1 of my IP's rented to an elderly (late 70's) couple. So the LL living next door scenario.

 

...I've had a few, but then again, too few to mention.

 

i regret not travelling enough.

 

To be really honest me too.

But then again this FOMO and travelling has really only come about in the last 10 years or so.

 

Oops a couple of years out.

Ok...Second biggest mistake was selling in 2017. Should have done it 5 years earlier..

 

Not taking advantage of the $100k/year and other limits for super before the govt clamped down on it. 14% returns foregone.

You regret buying one or not buying one?

 

That's why I didn't mention buying one in Gladstone in 2012 and not selling it until 2016

 

What locations in Brisbane?

 

One in your area and than other in Logan @Angel
