Half the distance to what, where, when? That is a WRONG way to look at it, simple! Do you think 100% of Berwick residents work in the CBD? I can assure you that the percentage of residents would be in the low single digits. Simple! People live in Berwick because they appreciate the...

Sunshine West, Albion and Ardeer are within 15klms of the City. So is Campbellfield....I suppose we ain't birds and we must use roads. If I had cash, I'd be buying in Heidelberg West - big time! In 5-7 years I can see it having a massive increase. Times have changed and circumstances...

Interesting...are you subdividing and adding an extra dwelling or buying blocks of land and building on it? I actually like Traralgon and Morwell.

Which areas are you buying in and organising permits?

Not for long! It's booming! I'm thinking of buying there with view to moving in 5-7 years down the track.

i think you are WAY off with your predictions, that one in Oakleigh, for 750K i'd buy it today. Those two in Noble Park - that one on Whitmorr will get high 500s and the Jeffers Street one will get low-mid 500s. Let's see hey :)

WTF ...just about every single thing said above is exactly what I've thought. Times have changed, for a family living, looking for a nice area, etc. you'd choose Berwick over anywhere from Clayton to Dandenong in a million years.......and it used to be priced that way as well. Noble Park...

you didn't think of removing the tree before putting in your application? I've heard people do some creative things to remove trees to suit... best of luck.

what does 9.30pm market mean?

getting a unit for that price in that area....i'd like to see it... please provide links for anything in that price range in that area...i'd happily buy two units at that price.

I'm loving this thread and your mentality. The above is PERFECTLY SAID! The above is an investory relying on OTHER PEOPLE (the market) to make your gains and it may not happen. What you are doing here Erica is ADDING VALUE ...and over the span of the project your end product sale...

Hi guys, sorry to bother but I remember once a thread on here about a process to actually pick up a house and move it - on the same block that is, but move it to a different position on the lot. i can't find the thread, but are people doing this? I ask as I would like to buy a property with...

I started reading this thread and stopped at this comment. Erica, you are my idol. I'm single income family and I've had serious stability issues with m work, but that aside, what you are doing is EXACTLY why I keep saying to other people (and to myself). I say to them, the question is not...

Thanks for that. Yes I'm not uber keen about the restumping, but its something noticed immediately once you put your foot in the door. The floor is concaved quite a bit and wavy. I'll call an agent and ask.

I've been reading as well A LOT and from what I ascertain that there is no such thing as a 'minimum size'. the minimum size really is a calculation of the below: a) dwelling size b) SPOS (secluded private open space) c) mandatory car spaces (eg 3 bedroom requires two car spaces) d)...

Hi all, In a bit of a dilemma here. I have just bought a weatherboard home which has an expired permit to build a 3 bedroom + study townhouse at the back. My plans for this property are: 1 - renovate the front house 2 - get the permit for the townhouse re-activated and build ASAP...

Yeah I'm starting to understand it now, as you said, read it slowly. To a point I blame myself more than the accountant, as they can misunderstand us just as much as we them, especially when things aren't explained properly. Yes thanks for that. I may just call you :) ..

Yes I know mate, but I asked my accountant and he said YES to all of my questions. That's the problem (ain't it always), TAX is worse than religion, too open to interpretation. Re: fixing the balcony....what if i build a small balcony when there wasn't one and it costs me $299 ?? Is that an...

Realistically you've probably missed the boat with Pakenham. It's already had its major spurt in growth a few years back and at the same time, there is still a lot of stock. For 350-400k, I'd try look at something a bit closer to the city, even Berwick or Narre Warren (where fountain gate...

Hi All, Just purchased my first IP and am very happy - yet now come the hard lessons. It is a weatherboard home in relatively decent condition, except it needs to be restumped which will cost me about 7k. My plans are as below: 1) lightly renovate the existing home, paint, new...
