there are two types of properties: Chatswong, Eastwoo and Epping - mostly local Asians - highly desirable places to live, plenty of amenity and transport - no they won't take a big hit...even non-Asians like to live there believe it or not and they are prime areas close to jobs, shopping...

Always refer to the definitions/dictionary of that particular planning instrument, definitions of these vary from council to council, but generally speaking Site coverage - this is how much roofed area you can have and includes the main building, car ports, sheds etc fsr 0.7:1 - this means...

To be fair, Korean bbq isn't takeaway and quite healthy (if you go easy on the pork belly)

Blacktown, man has that places changed! Still heaps of kids wearing nautica hats outside westfield though!

Nah, I Actually live in Pymont next to the casino, down near the water lol, I walk or ride my bike across Pyrmont bridge to work takes me 10 minutes. happy days, but yeah there's houso's here too and glebe...you don't need to go to 2770 to see characters in Sydney lol. All im saying is, I...

Totally agree, was just more raising the question of which market would hold up more, 2770 or Strathfield. You mean you're advising your kids to invest in 2770 or logan next slump?

1. when it comes to residual houses in an area zoned for higher densities, if you can't beat em, best to join them 2. yes of course it's possible to work backwards, how do you think the developer got to the offer price in the first place? Work out your gross realisation (total price of units...
