i recently settled on a 33sqm in Kings Cross ( or Potts Point - depending on if you like sleeze and booze OR "Parisian vibe"!!) and it rents furnished for $435, a tad more per sqm, but I did pay more upfront. Same tenant in it for years, happy to stay on. Well done depreciator!!!

Seems like a good idea to prepay if I knew next financial year my salary would drop significantly or change in employment status ( from salary to business etc ) Good to know that you need time to tee it up with the banks - I would have assumed I could just call late June and have it done!!

Hi, With June 30 approaching, just wondering if I could / should use some cash from my ppor offset to prepay some strata fees and interest payments? I'll be modelling this up shortly to see the effect for me, but curious, what others do around this time of year in this regard? Wife and I...

Two: Cba: two ip loans Anz: one ip lian, and PPOR loan (not cross-coll) Planning to get the next loan through another lender though for all the good reasons mentioned previously. So far, the best reason is it makes my calls for rate reductions rather quick - cba just offered me this, anz...

This is a slightly better link for searching specific properties for flood data: http://www.ipswichplanning.com.au/flood-map-information

Nice work! Inspiring! Did you spot this one yourself or did it come via the right property groups regular email list of opportunities, or some other source?

Yes, I'm happy to be a long term investor but maybe not 20years for a turnaround!

What's the thoughts on the Lake Albert area? The southern edge is very pricey compared the eastern edge? Looks like a different sort of neighbourhood to Ashmont etc. It is also the "proposed" location of a station if the high speed rail link ever eventuates. Wonder what this would do to...

Just wandering how the business is going? I always think it's great when people follow their biz dreams like this- had a crack myself for a while doing CRM software consulting - the website looks current and easy to use. How do you handle the paper work, meetings etc with sellers? Any tips...

The current recommendation does not include a station at Goulburn. There is plans for a depot there I think, but no passenger station.

Hi blw101- I've been watching ( bought none, and it helps me none by spruking it here!) the stock NSR - National Storage. Basically one of the companies that is buying up the smaller ones. http://www.asx.com.au/asx/research/company.do#!/NSR I figured these companies own land ( which is...

Thanks chindonly, I was reviewing sites like these: http://www.childcarespecialistsaustralia.com.au http://i.childcaresales.com.au Reading the sale prices, returns and leases, it all looks rosy- the devil is in the detail, risk analysis, etc. but it's something I'm willing to research to...

Interesting thread. I know it's 2 years since the orginal post, but still relevant! I wonder if finance is still an issue just to build with the sole intention of being landlord? 10 year loans, high lvr? Any one have indicative build costs per place?

Cant say I can assist here- but will soon be looking for recommendations for inner city Sydney for the same. I can google etc but much prefer Somersodt recommendations like the Captain here!

I'm in Forster right now for a holiday. I ocean swim for the week with an older group- all from elsewhere, all up here to retire. Town looks busy but it is peak holiday season though. House prices are definitely on the move. I'd think single story duplex build close to town would go well -...

Thanks - yes, over supply is a concern. I noted that http://forecast.id.com.au/parramatta/about-forecast-areas?WebID=250 forecasted - "2015 population forecast for Parramatta CBD is 10,647, and is forecast to grow to 27,498 by 2036." There are less modest growth areas in the Parra council...

So, given some of the comments above...does it make sense from a long term ( 10+years ) to buy into any of old the unit blocks that in a few years ( based on public plans from the council ) will be rejuvenated? (near river foreshore, near autoalley, etc ) I personally believe Parra has the...

Dan- you are mirroring some thoughts of mine exactly. I've been crunching numbers on small offices and strata factories. I'm coming to the conclusion that it's not super returns. I've been reading some Saville reports on Sydney regions ( they do them per region...north Sydney, parramatta, cbd...

Good thread- thanks all. Are these the sort of properties you target as 2 from 1's, ekwatee? http://www.domain.com.au/property/for-sale/house/sa/clearview/?adid=2011535924 And http://www.domain.com.au/property/for-sale/house/sa/ingle-farm/?adid=2011388711 Blocks of 300sm are listed of approx...
