Newbie Resources

Hey everyone

I had a friend join the forums and wanted to know where to start reading so I went through and found all the original links that people had posted and sent to me which I had found really useful when joining.
So I thought I'd make a big thread of all these links so that people joining the forum or starting their investment journey can just go to to begin their research or existing members can direct them to. So if you have any threads or specific posts you've found really important to you or that you think would be beneficial to others starting their journey feel free to post them below

 

Not threads or posts, but these are some of the links that I have found useful & have gathered along the way from other people's posts/threads over the years.

Abakus.io - Calculators
Onthehouse.com.au: Your Home for Property Research
Old Real Estate Listings
Property Overview - Property Prices & Suburb Profile - InvestSMART
SQM Research - Free Property Data
Investor Resources | Qura Property
Upfront Cost Calculator
Useful Resources | MyPropertyPro

 

Thanks @Toon , really helpful!

 

Thanks!

 

@MTR started a great thread at books for a new investor

there will be other threads similar to this as well.

 

But people gotta make sure they not only read them but study them . Make notes, underline, highlight . .whatever works for you, but don't just read - study . I studied so many of the books/resources that it was hard to ever forget all the positives and negatives of OTP units etc etc . Sooooo many of the easy mistakes can be avoided this way, I reckon well over 80%.

Just my opinion for what worked for us .

 

Definitely @Leo2413, I've read some of these threads well over 50 or 100 times. I find telling other people what I've learnt definitely helps me cement what I learn. Learning by teaching I guess.
Always good to have your insights @Leo2413!
