Re: Buying Property.
lizkins how do you work out what a house is 'worth' - because it's never been about the actual cost of goods/plant etc ... land prices are the major component and they are based on supply/demand i do think australians want to buy property - they aspire to be home owners - is the dominant driver. it ...

GK what are you wanting to achieve from the advisor. Personally, any investment is worthwhile if it can make you what you paid + compensation for your time. So if the FA can make you $1500 and you pay him/her $1000 then the return is pretty good. So it all comes down to what you want to do. If you w...
