<p>The Gold Coast home of international footballer Craig Moore has been listed for onsite February 3 auction.<br></p>
<p>The Hope Island house was built after the block cost $665,000 in 2003.</p>
<p>It's been listed through McGrath Property agent Philip Chillemi <a href="https://www.mcgrath.com.au/buy/house-hope-island-qld-4212/171809/?searchID=25664384" target="_blank">with $1.6 million to $2 million expectations</a>.</p>
<p>'It's one of Hope Island’s most prestigious and beautifully built homes," Philip Chillemi's marketing says.</p>
<p>"Architecturally designed, it offers the ultimate waterfront lifestyle with the privacy of a celebrity home," it says.</p>
<p>Craig Moore captained Australia’s Olympic soccer team in 2004 and played with the Socceroos in the 2006 and 2010 World Cups.</p>
<p>The five-bedroom waterfront home should sell for $1.6 to $2 million at auction on February 3.</p>
<p>It's been on and off the market since June 2011. Late last year Moore was seeking $2.35 million for the property, which is set on a 1,006-square-metre block.</p>

<p>Australian expatriates regularly buy properties back in Australia. Perhaps not necessarily when the Australia dollar is as high as present.</p>
<p>But they do always have in their mind their eventual return to what will be their family home when their overseas assignments end.</p>
<p>This raises many personal and financial issues regarding the selection of the property, the potential capital gains tax (CGT) treatment, negative-gearing tax breaks, and the possible tax consequences if rental income exceeds deductible costs.</p>

<div class="event_article">
<p>On the back of its mineral resources, Queensland is currently undergoing a metamorphosis that will pave the way for wealth generation for smart property investors.</p>
<p>Investors from across Australia have also been looking to Queensland given its emerging housing shortage in many mining-associated towns within the state’s 12 mining basins.</p>
<p>Researcher Andrea Dixon was asked to put Gladstone under the microscope. We all know it’s a mining boom town with a vast number of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and coal projects in development, but how does it really stack up?</p>
<img class="event_image" src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/events/ebooks/walker-gladston-3d-200.png" alt="Gladstone" title="Gladstone"><h3>In this eBook you will find an insider’s knowledge of understanding Gladstone.</h3>
<p>As we know, anecdotal evidence is not enough to make an informed decision; savvy investors also need to undertake broader research and keep abreast of important economic mining news such as the demand for coal from India and China, and where their economies are heading.</p>
<p>We hope this eBook provides some initial steps to assist in making a smart investment.</p>
