it's NORTH at Milson's Point. I went in the afvo, and none of the studio+ one bedders has parking....and not cheap.... And most of them facing the railway and freeway...yeah, not that good i think...

Seen some new studios and one bedders for sale, from 410K... They do sound a bit dear...but what do you think? still good investment? To me, one thing for sure is whichever one I can potentially afford WILL have to have parking.

Thanks heaps guys ! Good to get advice from the locals! A good 2 bedder will definitely stretch my budget, but as Michael said, there's a balance. Just been to an open house (it was a one bedder in Waverton), a LOT of people inspecting, not seeing any reflection of the recent rate hikes in...

Hah....just realised the typo..yeah, i was dreaming I was back in the 1920s!!

I already see that houses in Willoughby area in Sydney have started to have "For Sale" signs up -- this is unheard of in the past 2 years, people fight for them like crazy in auctions.

Dear All: I am looking to buy a unit in the lower-lower north shore of Sydney. (e.g. Kirribili, North Sydney, Waverton ) While I am not new to property investment, there are a few burning questions really giving me the headaches and would love to get some opinions from fellow investors...

Is it acctually possible to find out the rough location of each exit at these stops? I mean, assuming the prices of the stationed areas will go up, then it's good to buy now, but not right next to the station entrance! I don't think you can find this info on that website, maybe go to the...

just a quick comment (not advice) that what a disgrace for someone's earning 120K+ not to pay up as he should -- must be some dodgy sales I feel for you chilliaa

Also, I think this (old) news has already been factored into the property prices in the hills district.

Yes, what you see on the contract is what you get, unless they agree ""in writing" of your request. However, sometimes, the vendor leaves out the inclusion till the auction day, where they will usually just handwrite/tick whatever they want to throw in.

Cool, thanks guys:) Yep, my solicitor said it wasn't a big deal...he said only if there's anything over 100 dollars' worth. Getting keys after work, coolies! ^^

Hi, Guys: quick Question. My settlement is this afvo. I just went through the final inspection. Everything is in order, i.e. all inclusions are there, except 1, There's a drill hole on the wall near the entrance because there was used to be a mirror hanging there and it was not plastered...

It's not the Banks interests to get more money out of the propery, unless they think the value dropped so much so they can't get the loan amount back. As long as it's covered for them, they will just leave it to the market. So, do not fall for it.

I am actually settling next Tuesday as well. (supposed to be this Friday, but vendor chose to do it after the long weekend) Arranged with the agent to inspect this Friday initially, but later she called to say that the house will get professionally cleaned on the Friday, so she suggested we...

I 2nd to that....that's what I did...actually paid it off upfront with 15% discount... that sort of return is quite hard to beat!
