I feel safe in silkstone , i go for my nightly walks as late as 11pm and never had any trouble whatsoever. Never even see any youth wondering late at night . Cant go wrong in silkstone
@@Distantlampshade28 what makes you say its not safe ? Do you walk late at night every night ? My family have been living here for over 50 years . Never had any issues with break ins , theft , vandalism or anything else whatsoever.
Thanks Luke. I was waiting for it. I have one investment in Collingwood park and another one in Redbankplains. Both are doing really good. Plenty of equity accrued.
You having an issues with the black soil? I've heard houses in Redbank plains are having constant issues with damage to their foundations because of how bad the soil is.
I live in East Ipswich born here living in same house since 1967 flooded twice council don't do anything to this area until last year spent 300 thousand repairing road new gutters now 4houses getting demolished in flood buy back scheme the council wants to fine disabled pensioner $300 for forgetting to register my 11year old Kelpie I suppose THIS CANT DO DOPEY COUNCIL needs money 💰💰👎👎🥱🥱
Hey Luke. I have a buyers agent recommended from my broker that I've gone through (sorry) I do love you work and I'd like to know what your thoughts on brassall were? abit hard with a budget of Max 500k and that's the suburb they are trying to sell me but I'm not 100%. Would you go with a family home in brassall? Thanks in advance
Hey Vince, I've done some research into Brassall as I was planning on buying there. Brassall has alot of black soil, basically this means the foundation that the house are built on are unstable with a lot of movement. Some pockets of land are also contaminated. Its best to have a soil test done and a building and pest inspection done prior to settlement. If inspecting an existing property look for cracks in walls and cracks in cement, cracks 1mm to are ok, anything greater than 3mm walk away. Hope this helps you.
@@brendanmichaelwelsh6260 yeah agreed, councils just want volume from these big builders. They end up being on 300 to 350 sqm of land which is super small for the suburbs

My dad who is a retired Air Force Officer has always advised never to buy anywhere near Amberley Air Base. He says China will 100% detonate a nuclear warhead there if war ever breaks out. I know that might sound alarmist and borderline paranoid; but I do take it seriously.
A nuclear warhead?? That would most likely negatively impact more than just that area. Probably the whole of Ipswich AND most, if not all, of Brisbane lol....
Hello Ipswich I've told everyone I know that there is nothing good about Ipswich 4305, the town the people from the adults to the children. It is an ugly little town that has so many evil secret's that not even you could disagree. I'm just making my point and having my say. If it wasn't for all that Ipswich 4305 wouldn't be a bad place to live lmao. Cheers.
Aren't you the master of generalization. I know a lot of lovely families and decent hard working people in Ipswich. Don't know who you've been hanging around with.

I grew up in Silkstone in the 70,s , 80,s . Way better back then .

Hi Luke,
Any advise about buying investment property in bellbird park please?
Thanks Luke. I was waiting for it. I have one investment in Collingwood park and another one in Redbankplains. Both are doing really good. Plenty of equity accrued.
My pleasure and great to hear they're both tracking well!
You having an issues with the black soil? I've heard houses in Redbank plains are having constant issues with damage to their foundations because of how bad the soil is.
Wouldnt touch anything except Newtown eastern heights Raceview and Leichardt to the west. Personally i have 1 in eastern heights and raceview.
congrats on the investments!
Silkstone is a very good area
@Tony Christensen what's your thoughts on riverview?
bought my place on 1000sqm fo0r 450k 7 years ago now worth 800k. Not bad
Nice!
Good one, I’m at coalfalls myself and it’s a great little pocket.
Love it! Nice spot
I'm in East Ipswich, seems to be a tail of two tapes depending which side of the train line you're on. What's your views on this suburb?
What’re your thoughts on the flood free areas in North Ipswich?
Not too shabby! Opportunity at the right price point
My grandpa lives in goodna on the flood plain
Hey Luke, what's your thoughts about riverview?
Too many new builds in the area for me... i'd be looking elsewhere
Bought a heritage home in Newtown a few years ago for $225k now it's almost double that. Ipswich is just going to get better.
Congrats. Sounds like a fantastic purchase

What are your thoughts on Raceview? And a townhouse there?
For an investment? Wouldn't be for me.. but everyone is different!
I wouldn't recommend Springfield either. A highly flood-stricken suburb with unfinished restored rooves 🤔 Btw, like your channel, informative!
cheers!
I was meaning Springfield not sure why I typed Springwood. Corrected@kentrohl
What about goodna ?
May be able to find a cashflow play there
as long as its not flooded, check flood map!
@@xyzxyz4575 definitely check the flood maps
Ok f you get a place well out of flood areas and dont mind living with majority islanders and africans

Agreed - I'm not a fan of the cookie cutter homes
@@lukewiles1 It's all Lend Lease and Mirivac build these days however I think the councils are to blame for this trash.
