AHI-Australian Homebuyers International

This will conceptualise what you are trying to achieve and in which time frame. For 95% of property investors this becomes critical as it affects your exit strategy, your risk management plans and also your objective at the end of the day. Understanding the tax implications of owning property in Australia will also enhance your position as a property investor.

AHI can help in your endeavour to make wise property investment choices in Australia. We match the needs of our clients with the right investment properties that will lead to long-term wealth creation. We ensure our success, and that of our clients, by having access to experienced and reputable land and property developers all across Australia.

Buying a house and land package can be a great way of buying a home or investment property. The entry level is surprisingly low and a great deal of time and money can be saved by deciding to invest in a new-build property rather than an established one. AHI has something to suit every budget from $450,000 to $5.9 million plus. Whatever your budget happens to be, AHI can help and advise you wherever you choose to live in Australia.

House and land packages can offer outstanding value. All our property options are "Turn Key" meaning that they are 100% completed, including a designer furniture package if that is the client's choice. All you have to do is bring your personal items and your house is ready to move into or to receive tenants.

AHI has access to thousands of house and land packages Australia-wide. For clients who wish to build a more individual home, we work with some of Australia's top architects, so that the client can examine the plans, receive an itemised cost analysis, sign off, and know that the property will be ready on time and on budget.

Over several consultations, AHI provides a financial assessment, a comprehensive property plan and a property investment analysis through one of our trusted associates. We guide and educate our clients throughout the whole process from beginning to end. We help our clients with this simple 3 point process.

The understanding of how properties will affect your wealth creation ie cash-flow, vacancy, tenancy and how the mix will help you achieve a balanced portfolio is important for long-term sustainability. A sound decision can only be reached with a clear understanding of all the figures with which our clients are provided at the outset.

The median Brisbane house price is $449,250 but future projections suggest that within 7 years the median Brisbane real estate price will hit the $1 million mark. We specialise in house and land packages across the state, so if you are interested in acquiring Queensland real estate then talk to us.

Whether your interest in the Queensland property sector is for investment or domestic use we start the process of buying by showing you some attractive options within your budget. We only deal in brand new property, or off-the-plan apartments, but before we show anything to our clients, you can rest assured that we have done all the necessary due diligence. We work only with approved builders, in addition we offer an individualised service which starts before the foundations have even been laid.

A Place of Natural Beauty

The state capital is Brisbane, located on the coast 100 kilometres by road north of the New South Wales border. Queensland has many places of natural beauty, including: the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast having some of the state's most popular beaches; the Bunya Mountains and the Great Dividing Range with numerous lookouts, waterfalls and picnic areas; Carnarvon Gorge; Whitsunday Islands and Hinchinbrook Island. The state contains six World Heritage listed preservation areas: Australian Fossil Mammal Sites at Riversleigh in the Gulf Country, Gondwana Rainforests of Australia, Fraser Island, Great Barrier Reef, Lamington National Park and the Wet Tropics of Queensland.

Your Brisbane or Queensland home will be built entirely to your specifications, all you need to do is chose your land and determine the approximate size of your house. We do the rest. There will be no guess work, no approximate price – you get the detailed cost analysis up-front. We supervise the building process, have our lawyers – or yours if you prefer – draw up the title deeds, and then, when everything is finished, we hand you the keys.

Many of our clients over the years have bought property for their children to live in while attending university or they have bought for investment. None of our clients have ever lost money on Australian real estate and although property prices have dipped in the last two years, they double every seven years. If your intention is to migrate to Australia, it's not necessary to wait for approval before buying a property.

Until 2008, Queensland was the fastest growing state in Australia. At its peak growth in 2007 over 1,500 people moved to the state per week including 1,000 in the southern part of the state alone. Queensland's growth rate has since been surpassed by Western Australia. Queensland's economy has enjoyed a boom in the tourism and mining industries over the past 20 years. Queensland treasurer Andrew Fraser forecast economic growth of 5% for 2011/12 in his recent fourth state budget, which is a significant turnaround from the estimated zero growth for 2010/11 following the devastating floods

A sizeable influx of interstate and overseas migrants, large amounts of federal government investment, increased mining of vast mineral deposits and an expanding aerospace sector have contributed to the state's economic growth.

The Australian Homebuyers International team has lived and worked in Iran, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong, Australia and London and we have noticed that many of our clients choose to invest in Australian real estate in order to provide accommodation for their children while they are at university. You would be surprised at how easy it is to buy a Queensland home and land package for your off-spring. We have handled so many "education" home packages like this we can show you how to optimise income for the home.

Like all the other states in Australia, Queensland has some impressive universities, among them  Bond University in Robina, Australian Catholic University (Brisbane campus) Central Queensland University, Griffith University, James Cook University, Queensland University of Technology and University of the Sunshine Coast.  With over 700,000 overseas students studying in Australia from countries as diverse as India, Iran, Singapore and China to name just a handful, the consensus among these students is that Australia is a great place to study.

That's not to say they won't have time to pursue their sporting activities either passively or actively. The Brisbane Broncos are one of the most successful teams in the National Rugby League competition.  The Queensland Bulls take part in Australia's domestic cricket tournaments.  The most popular winter and summer team sports are Rugby league, Rugby union and cricket, respectively. Swimming is also a popular sport in Queensland, with a majority of Australian team members and international medal winners hailing from the state.  Australia loves its sports activities no matter which state you decide to hang your hat.

Primary industries include: bananas, pineapples, peanuts, a wide variety of other tropical and temperate fruit and vegetables, grain crops, wineries, cattle raising, cotton, sugar cane, wool and a mining industry including bauxite, coal, silver, lead, zinc, gold, and copper. Secondary industries are mostly further processing of the above-mentioned primary produce. For example, bauxite is shipped by sea from Weipa and converted to alumina at Gladstone. There is also copper refining and the refining of sugar cane to sugar at a number of mills along the eastern coastline. Major tertiary industries are the retail trade and tourism.

If you want a Queensland home close to one of the natural wonders of the world - The Great Barrier Reef – then head north to Port Douglas.   The Gold Coast is a major tourist city and very popular with high rise city dwellers.  If your idea of perfect Queensland property is preferably 20 stories high with spectacular views over the Pacific ocean then look no further than  Surfers Paradise.

Tourism is Queensland's leading tertiary industry with millions of interstate and overseas visitors flocking to the Sunshine State each year. The industry generates $4.0 billion annually, accounting for 4.5% of Queensland's GSP (Gross State Product) Queensland is a state of many landscapes that range from sunny tropical coastal areas, lush rainforests to dry inland areas.

The main tourist destinations of Queensland include, Brisbane, Far North Queensland including Cairns, Port Douglas and the Daintree Rainforest, Gold Coast, the Great Barrier Reef, Hervey Bay and nearby Fraser Island, North Queensland including Townsville and Magnetic Island, North Stradbroke Island and South Stradbroke Island, the Sunshine Coast and the Whitsundays known for Airlie Beach, Whitehaven Beach, Hamilton Island and Daydream Island. The Gold Coast of Queensland is also sometimes referred to as "Australia's Theme Park Capital", with five major amusement parks. These are Dreamworld, Movie World, Sea World, Wet 'n' Wild and WhiteWater World.

There are also wildlife parks in Queensland, including:

• Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary at Currumbin
• David Fleay Wildlife Park at Burleigh Heads
• Sunshine Coast
• UnderWater World at Mooloolaba
• Australia Zoo near Beerwah/Glass House Mountains, home of Steve Irwin until his death in 2006.
• Brisbane
• Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary at Fig Tree Pocket
• Brisbane Forest Park at The Gap
• North of Brisbane
• Alma Park Zoo at Dakabin

Investing in Queensland real estate make perfect sense from  a  growth perspective and also from rental income, all those  millions of visitors annually need somewhere to stay, so as a landlord you are likely to enjoy 100% occupancy year round.
