I think eastern suburbs are a good choice for IP as those areas usually have lower vacancy rates and seen some strong cg over the last few years. There will more development activities in years to come and this should support cg. As for Bondi, you will find plenty oversea young peoples whose...

In today's Market, Off the plan would cost more than existing property within the area. Investors, esp FHBs opt for this option usually are looking to enter the property market with a lower deposit (10%) and some use this strategy to save cashflow when investing "1 property each year". As...

Hi lonerwolfman, It may make more sense if you focus on a few key points rather than look "everywhere". Some of those questions that may help; Are you a First Home Buyer? Is IP your only focus? Are you looking for Apartment/Townhouse/House only? or open to all options? How many...

As a BA and also a investor myself, I have investments in Zetland (4kms to the CBD) and like what atsim said I also believe that Zetland is suburb with great potential. There is alot of residential development in that area but not all projects will be worth money, if you look carefully you...

Azzy, your limited budget upto $640k will make it difficult for you to find decent 2bed+ in CBD and also some of the top LNS suburbs, eg Mosman, netural bay etc. like others have mentioned in this thread. Demand is a big factor in future capital growth and rental returns, so it really comes...

it would depend on what do you really want to buy and what you want to be close to. It not overpriced but it is the Sydney's prices and it not likely to be cheaper in the near future. Assuming you want for living 2b+ then $450,000 may get you something that okish in the west (lidcombe is an...

As investment property you are not living there, so there is no need to be buying something more expensive when you going to achieve the same rental yield, Mirvac maybe "10x better" but it is certainly NOT going to give you "10x better rent" for apartments in the same area. Meriton's quality is...

I am pretty confident that there is decent growth potential in Arncliffe, esp the area thats closer around Wolli Creek/east arncliffe. In terms of the train lines, although arncliffe is a smaller stop you also have the alternative of to use the wolli creek station which shouldn't be too far to...
