For the price does it come with a Bat Cave, or something like that?
for 3.4mil, it's a shit house.
must be a good location to be that price

What is it with some people? We are almost as celebrity/star trivia addicted as our American friends. Abblett is a well heeled and famous guy, decides to splash some lolly on some new digs and all of sudden it's news - why? Because he's a notable. Big deal, get a life guys and talk about FOOTY.

I have just read 6 pages of rubbish. You have all missed the point:
How good would it be to spend a few hours in that spa with Lauren Philips? Nice and roomy in there.

You're clearly very insecure about the suburb you live in. Maybe when you move out of mums house and get your own place you will feel at ease.

Don't know
Would kind of suck if you had to pay your girlfriend $3.4 m every time you wanted sex

It's hardly a splurge when you earn as much as GA does.
I'd be tipping for that coin it would be on demand , also with his cash , it's probably a very good chance he has bought it as a rental ?

Wrong. I have a mum in Law in the back yard which is a mistake I ( and my wife who NOW see's sense ) can urge everyone to avoid, but otherwise you are way off the mark.
Go check out the metermaids.
Look, I certainly see where you are coming from. A house can be knocked down, renovated or left as is, but the land size doesn't change. And they don't "create" new land in Broadbeach. So it has a value. $3.4m? No. But certainly a lot, it's got canal access and would be close to everything. Plus Broadbeach is a nice area (my grandparents lived in Florida Gardens for 30 years).
But still, for $3.4m you could buy an old Queenslander (albeit not in Broadbeach), and renovate the hell out of it, or buy some land similar to what Gaz did, and get an architect to whip up something that looks great, and is as sustainable as they come.
My issue is that Gaz has spent $3.4m on something that looks like an AV Jennings home, in an awesome location.

This is what you get in Broadbeach for $2 000000. But there is nowhere for Gary to park that little rowboat he will buy.

I'm sure he was able to talk the price down to $3 million, but the place does lack character, and it doesn't appear too cosy. It would still be comfortable enough to live in for a few years of course because it has everything that is needed, and the location to shops and entertainment on Gold Coast Highway is good, and the drive to the Gold Coast Stadium is not too bad. The style of the house wouldn't be my choice though, but that's often just the way it is there.
You wouldn't buy that as a rental, the yield would be horrible.
Probably get around $3000/week. Bit of negative gearing, not so bad.
Probably better to buy at the bottom of the market though.
Looking at the rental properties in that suburb and the surrounding ones, I highly doubt you would get anything more than 2k, and it would be hard to rent it out for that in a timely manner. Anyway, negative gearing means you are losing money. It isn't a good thing.

There are some properties asking 2.5 and 3 K's.
I agree it would be hard to rent out, a limited market in an area where apartments are cheaper and more popular. After a point it becomes less of a question about whether its worth it, and more to do with who can afford it.
Negative gearing is popular among those who want to reduce their taxable income, but it sucks bigtime if the property doesn't go up in value significantly while you are doing it. Basically the portion of the tax that you would have paid if you didn't have the loss goes towards buying you a house.
If only I had this sort of problem.

It is if you want to get your taxable income down, and you are sorta banking on the property value going up. But at $3.4m I doubt it. But he's good at running, and kicking a ball, not necesserily business. So I shouldn't be expecting too much.

Is it just me or is that tweet sarcastic? He's suggesting he hasn't bought a mansion at all... the owners won't mind if everyone comes around, because he's not the owner

Hopefully he is aware of or the Suns management tell him NO SWIMMING in the canals.
Yep, Agreed. Its the location and teh sheer volume of house, but in terms of style and quality, IMO it lacks a huge amount. But hey, fo a cashed up Bogan fron Geelong its a palace.
Collingwood supporters like 'Cell Block' design, reminds them of where they have spent a lot of their life.
