    Kalgoorlie / Kambalda Investing

    I'd probably stick with Kalgoorlie rather than Kambalda. The vacancy rates in Kambalda are still very high and you need to spend some money on the cheaper properties to bring them up to standard to command decent rents.

    Perth Property Hotspot Tool - Free

    Yes I noticed that too. Due to some of those areas being new estates a lot of those pending sales figures would probably be for land only. It'll be interesting to find out what the building activity is like in some of those places.

The time I was there I never experienced many reports of car break ins or break and enters within Pye Rd - Pearce Rd area and outside the train station. I still have...
