Hi Dave My two latest purchases came with tenants however we changed PM from day one of settlement. All we did was let the new PM know that we wanted them to manage the property and they arranged to pick up the file from the old one. After settlement my new PM made an appointment with...

For me I would consider South Blacktown in and around Julie Street. For an investment I would buy anywhere in Blacktown. Closer to the station and Westpoint will probably get better interest from tenants. Go to open homes and check out the areas.

Blacktown isn't as bad as some think. I've lived there all my life At the moment there is a lot of activity and investors buying.if you buy well you won't go wrong. South Blacktown has a better reputation however you might pay more. Make sure you get a good propertyManager who will...

It's a really good book and sure to get you motivated

What about $200 an hour? Is that reasonable?

Hi Tonju I agree with Dave. If it backs onto the main road there will be some noise. Factor this into your offer.

Hi sashatheman I've used Scott from depreciator and he has been very helpful with letting me know what I can get back by sending him photos.

I asked my broker for recommendations of an accountant and conveyancer. She gave me several contacts which I contacted and asked a few questions. In the end I used someone else that a friend recommended. She did however get a financial planner to contact me who I eventually used for income...

Just be careful of the flood zones. Some blocks can be cheap because of this. I too like the idea of buying in Rivo. Surrounding suburbs are being built up.

Hi omegaman I live around the corner from this house. It can be hard to turn in and out of that complex during peak hour. Reservoir road is a busy road but that area isn't that bad. South Blacktown is a good part of blacktown.

Schofields might be good for capital growth in the distant future. Think of all the subdivision they are planning out there.

Hi Robbiep Yes I bought in Tregear this year also. Mine came with tenants.

We spoke with our neighbour and she said she'll keep an eye on it as some people in the area were squatting in empty houses. She told us to make sure the blinds are closed and flick a light on. For sale signs out the front are a big giveaway for people to break in.

I'm back. Sorry for disappearing like that. Long story. Property was tenanted right after I posted and got caught up with other things which is why you didn't get a response. Sorry Dave and Skater, I'll make sure I answer some posts now before I ask anymore questions to give back. Don't...

It's in the Mount Druitt area on for $300 and there are other properties on for that amount. It's not in the best condition outside but neat inside. Needs a reno but can't at this stage.

Wow yours must be well presented. Mine is just freshly painted and nothing fancy. Had a few people look but nothing just yet. Good uck with yours.

My house in Western Sydney has been on the rental market for 3 weeks now and still empty. Any other investors in the area find that 3 weeks is normal or did yours get rented quicker. Is it possible that Easter has slowed the market a little because of holidays?

I recently purchased a property that had existing tenants. They kept the place neat and tidy and were paying their rent. So was a good sign so we let them stay. It wasn't under a lease however on a week to week. When we became owners we wanted them to sign a 6months lease with our property...
