I work in the wine industry now and I can guarantee there is nobody making anywhere near that kind of money. I drive 50km each way to work to get 6-8 hours a day at $20.39/hr. The only reason it's worthwhile for me is my partner works for the same company so we share the commute, and the free...

It's simple really... 9% of the rent in Elizabeth at say $220/wk is $19.80. 5% of the rent in Sydney at $500/wk is $25. I know what I'd rather take on if I were a PM.

Thanks for documenting this process for all to see. Very helpful.

You'd **** in 3. The Playford Development Plan says they're looking for a MAX of 300m2 for Elizabeth East.

Cheer Corey, will give them a go. Syringes wouldn't surprise me in general, but not in this instance. I believe the tenant is a born again Christian who doesn't drink or smoke, something of an anomaly for the area.

Probably an outsider who'd never seen a freestanding house under $200k :p Any recommendations for a reasonably priced plumber in the Playford area? My tenant at Elizabeth Grove informs me the toilet has been blocked... for a month now. :eek:

Bez, I see where you're coming from but 'way ahead' doesn't always equate to 'better'. People all have different ideas of what a nice place to live is. For me Adelaide is doing alright. It seems to be starting to modernise yet still retain the heritage and the wonderful natural environment so...

http://www.realestate.com.au/property-duplex+semi+detached-sa-elizabeth+grove-115334531 This pair has been on the market for over 12 months now. I think they were originally looking for $300k or just under but is looking better value at $250k. It comes off of the Affordable Homes Program in a...

I'm curious to know too. I've spent a while looking at the Playford Development Plan (650 pages) and the Vale seems to all be zoned Resi at the moment. Yet I can't see any hard and fast rules to minimum lot size. There's setbacks, site coverage, open space etc. Off the top of my head I can't...

I need to decide if I change the gift I give or stop it entirely... Last year I gave my tenant some Crown lager. A few months later I found out they were an alcoholic several years ago. :o

Waaaay overpriced.

Correct. And I'm getting one of the smaller redundancies. I've worked there for close to a decade and out of the 100's of people I've spoken to I can't recall a single one that lives in one of the 'Elizabeth' suburbs. Here's a quick roll call: Craigmore Munno Para West Salisbury (me)...

It will have a huge impact for me - in a few weeks I will have an extra $60k in my pocket.

I can't see it being a bad thing. As I've said previously, very few Holden employees actually live in the area. If anything there will be more demand for the Elizabeth Grove, South, East etc properties when we can no longer afford our houses in Craigmore etc. and move closer to the factory where...

I agree with Corey. I work at Holden and 90% of the people I know there live in Craigmore, Gawler, Paralowie. We are some of the highest paid workers in the area so it hardly makes sense to live in the cheapest areas.

How is that chart misleading when you claim 'North' represents Elizabeth? I personally think the people on Centrelink and rent assistance put a floor under the rental price and there is upside from the many good paying jobs nearby. How can you say there are no jobs when you have many of the...

That increase in the tax-free threshold is more of a headline than a beneficial change. Keep in mind that LITO (low income tax offset) is being abolished so there is is little to no net effect. The main benefit of it is that more people will not have to fill in a tax return. Just don't want...

Your best bet is to keep reading here, you'll pick up a lot by comparing the different approaches people take and then be able to figure out what will work for your circumstances.

Knock a few $K off this one and it could be a winner. http://www.realestate.com.au/property-duplex+semi+detached-sa-elizabeth+south-112299527 Looks very nice for that money with updated kitchen, bathroom and painted throughout. Bit of an awkward position on the block though...

I was up there a bit over a week ago to go to Monarto and speedway. I have to admit the place is a lot better than I remember it. Can't get over how friendly most people were - in less than an hour I had 3 random people say 'Hi'. Although there was also the drug dealer loudly telling his mate...
