3Why Invest in Australia?
- A substantial downturn in all monetary markets
over recent months has seen the Australian dollar
substantially weaken against the US dollar (from
98c 15/07/08 to 67c 01/11/08). - Using the XE currency exchange website, the US
will buy A1.468 (03/11.08). A strong US dollar
presents an enormous advantage when buying
Australian property. - Combine this with the fact the Australian
property market has appeared to have reached the
bottom of one of the sharpest declines in over
twenty years and the opportunities for investment
are enormous. - As the global economic crisis eases over the next
few years, the Australian dollar is likely to
increase against the US and the Australian
property market will again improve. - The opportunity to invest when both the dollar
and the property prices are so heavily in your
favour will be a rare opportunity. - http//www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2007/07/20/19

4Why Invest in Australia? Australias Competitive
Edge
- An investment in Australia is an investment in
growth, stability, innovation and lifestyle. It
is a decision to tap the world-class intellectual
capital, sophisticated infrastructure and unique
location of a nation with remarkable economic
resilience in the fastest growing region of the
world. Thats why around 900 multinational
companies have regional headquarters or operating
centres here. - Underpinning Australias success is the strength
of its economy and its pool of highly skilled
people from around the world. Australians are
undertaking groundbreaking research, developing
new products and providing sophisticated services
to regional and global markets. -

5Why Invest in Australia? Australias Competitive
Edge
- Australias increasing appeal as an investment
destination is evident by the 90 per cent
increase in the stock of foreign direct
investment in the country over the past five
years. The Australian Government has worked
closely with local business organisations and
international agencies over many years to help
make Australia an attractive place to invest. - Mining and agriculture remain vital to the
economy, but Australia has been transformed in
the past decade. Services now account for nearly
80 per cent of gross domestic product, and the
country is making a mark in new fields such as
health sciences and nanotechnology. -

20Sollies Court Varsity Lakes
21Investment in Sollies Court
- Sollies Court is the investment product
available to you today. - The development is located at 84 Casua Drive,
Varsity Lakes. - Located just 5 minutes from Robina Town Centre
and 5 minutes from the major arterial highway
north to Brisbane (80km). - The development was completed 12 months ago and
there are currently three units still available. - Current tenants include a motivational speakers
head office, a hairdresser supplies store,
Chinese food preparation, crystal importer and
wholesaler and a fashion design and production
school. - The developers persistence over the type of
tenant he would like in the development has to
date been a very positive influence on the
development and should maintain the comparatively
higher prices. - The development has been developed high up off
the street and above the council flood lines. It
has been constructed using Tilt Slab
construction and each of the units include a
concrete mezzanine area. Each of the remaining
units contain between 3 and 5 car spaces. While
these additions do come as additional cost it is
this type of additional cost to a project that
you notice when you compare it to the cheaper
alternatives in the area.
22Investment in Sollies Court (cont.)
- The location of the development is ideally
situated to take advantage of the upcoming train
service that will link the very Southern Gold
Coast with Brisbane. - The Robina to Varsity Lakes Rail Extension
Project is part of the governments South East

2007-2026. This is an 82 billion, 20 year plan
to manage growth and protect our lifestyle. The
rail line is to be extended 4.1 km from Robina to
Varsity Lakes and a new station built at Varsity
Lakes. Completion is expected by 2010. - The new station will include 300 car parking
spaces, 6 bus bays, 10 taxi bays, pick up and
drop off facilities. - The development is adjacent to where the local
station is to be built. The new station will
ensure that Sollies Court is easily accessed by
all and that is in a highly visible location.
23Investment in Sollies Court (cont.)
- While the current market may be facing some
difficulties in both rental and capital growth
when the property growth cycle begins again this
project is ideally suited to take advantage of
it. - It is the proximity of Sollies Court to the
train the highway and Robina Town Centre that
affords this project such capital growth
potential.

28About JJJ Realty
- JJJ Realty is a boutique real estate agency that
was established in 2006 as a family real estate
company to take advantage of the abilities of
Johanna Tillotson. Jos experience in the
industry lead her to believe that there was a
better alternative to approaching the acquisition
and sale of Real Estate. For years Jo had worked
to the traditional formula of gaining as many
listings as possible and waiting for purchasers
to contact her. While this method is tried and
tested it rarely affords the agents the time or
concentration to ensure that the parties involved
receive the best service and support available.
JJJ Realty was established with the philosophy
that a smaller number of quality listings would
allow the agents to develop a sale that would
produce a win win win scenario between the
seller the buyer and the agency. As JJJ Realty
has grown it is this mentality that has formed
the basis of its corporate culture.
