There are many sites dedicated to property buyers and it is often difficult to sort through them. These are some of the best, however if you know of any others you have found useful and think others will too please email them to us at askus@investorschoice.com.au.
www.suburbview.com
This is a one of a kind Australian real estate search engine! Type in your Suburb and this site collates all the results from most of the property internet sale sites around the country and it then plots them on a map or a satellite picture using Google Earth. Try it out you will be as impressed as I am. If your suburb is not available leave a message and it will usually be added within 24 hours. Now that is service.

This site applies Residex predictive data to properties advertised online for sale.

www.realestateinvestar.com.au
This is an incredible site for finding properties on the market – with many search terms – so you can dive into granny flats, or renovators delight etc as well as giving prices per bedroom for a suburb this is worth the small investment – and for a specially discounted price you also get access to Cotality (formely RPDATA)

Rather than have calculators on this website I am pointing you to the most up to date calculators, and to the magazine which is a great resource. It includes the latest information on home loans including financial reviews and financial links.

Before I started investing years ago I researched all the sites and software and seminars that would add value. This Forum has a wonderful forum that still today keeps teaching me new things. The contributors are mainly investors with many years of experience who are very generous with their time and knowledge. Anything you need to know about property can be found out through the forum. You might also want to check out the software, if you are not buying multiple properties or cannot justify the expense I can run through scenarios with you during a consultation.
www.propertyinvesting.com
This site was mainly started to promote positive cashflow properties as a wealth creation tool. It has evolved over the last year due to the changing property market and discusses many property investing topics. Many from Somersoft Forum also contribute here.
