Nest is Changing the Face of Men’s Health this Movember We are donating $150 from each property managed AND $500 from each property listed this month to Movember​. Plus, our team member Patrick, Rod, Todd and Gary will also be growing a moustache to raise the awareness of men’s health issues during the month! 👉 75% of people who die by suicide in Australia are male. We are excited to be helping shine light on health issues and stop men dying too young.

This idea and the values that drive it now guide us as we face the challenges of responding to the coronavirus (COVID-19). The team at Nest Property extend our best wishes to the people who have already been affected by this outbreak and we give our appreciation the healthcare workers, organisations and governments around the world who are on the front line working to contain this coronavirus. We want to assure you that the health and well-being of our clients is our top priority and over the coming months we will be taking increased measures while this issue is managed and contained. Below is an update on what we are doing at our offices around Tasmania to ensure your peace of mind and your health and wellbeing.

10 vital things about property investing you need to know Property is still considered one of the most secure forms of investment, as Mark Twain said: “Buy land, they’re not making it anymore. However, when investing, being objective and practical is the best way to think if you’d like to achieve the greatest possible return on investment. A reasonable amount of equity in your own home is recommended, and do your best to find a property you can comfortably afford – especially if it’s your first investment. If the rental income of your property doesn’t cover your repayments, rates, or body corporate fees, this will be considered negatively geared (that is, an investment operating at a loss).

If you’d like advice about finding a lawyer or conveyancer, we’re happy to recommend some of our pre-qualified experts. Investigate costs for maintenance, land tax, council rates, home insurance and strata fees (if applicable) so that you know exactly how much to budget for. Another great way to do this is to get in touch with an agent or agency in your desired area, let them know your preferences, and they will help you find a home that checks all your boxes. Professional building inspections can save you thousands of dollars by avoiding nasty surprises and giving you bargaining power if you find small (but fixable) problems with your chosen property.
