Hey guys, its been awhile since I posted on here but am back after a long lay off. I currently own my PPOR in Ashfield, its a 2bdr, 1 bath apartment. Noticed prices have gone up nicely, but my question is does anyone here have any experience with owning properties in the area? If so do you...

Hi kooldavid, I am in the exact same basket as you, and have been here getting advice from these guys the whole time. The above advice from vaughan is priceless and extremely valid. I have been doing my research in search of my first IP, been doing rounds walking the grounds in the...

Yes I was ! haha. :D Found another one in C-Town am considering but dont know much about the area. Thanks for the graph JennD

I am currently looking at an IP in Campbelltown and not sure about the area in terms of CG. Anyone had any previous IP experience in the area ? Or any advice they can give in regards to the area?

Thanks for all the replies guys. After much deliberation we have decided against it. There were too many "ummms" about it for me to be confident enough in going ahead.

Still not too sure. Heres the pickle I am in - 1. I found this place (town house) next to a cemetry but the numbers are really good, sometimes I think whether its too good to be true. My biggest concern being, will I be able to rent it out for a rent equivalent to the rent in the same suburb...

Thanks for that guys. Had a read of the other thread as well. Unfortunately hasnt swayed my mind either way ! Lol. Still not sure. Numbers wise this property I found stacks up neatly. The only concern being is I am not sure how long this property has been for sale and how long will it take...

Would you buy an IP near a cemetry ? Like if the back of the property was across the road from it ? Would you say it affects the rent or value?

I am looking at St Marys as well, anyone have an idea about Putland St or thereabouts ?

Hi all, I have noticed there seem to be a few properties on sale on this street for some reason. I was driving past on the weekend and noticed the many For Sale signs and then when I looked them up online the agents had them listed as "address available on request". Which made me led to...

Going for a drive tomorrow morning. Should be fun ! ;)

I am currently looking at 2 props, one at Werrington & one at JT. Both have pretty much the exact same yield of just over 6%. Werrington is cheaper by about $20k in price. My main concern though is CG. Which is better for CG, JT or Werrington ?

Here's a question for you guys, Jamisontown or Werrington ? If you had to choose between these 2 which would you choose to buy in.

So you guys wouldn't suggest close to the station ? I am currently looking at a property on Walker St and considering it, what are you thoughts on Walker St ? is it close to the housing commission etc ? Also what streets would you consider the good side of Werrington ?

Thanks for that. Thought as much. The best thing I can do at the moment is build my knowledge as much as possible while also maintaining a keen eye on the market to make sure I dont miss any opportunities. But thanks to everyone on here I have been able to figure out my goal and my strategy...

Yea after doing more research I have decided my long term goal is to hold and build equity. And only sell if I need the cash. So ideally continue to buy and buy properties that I can hold over a long term and those that are postively geared.

Awesome will do thanks

Thanks for that guys. Any ideas of good sites to cross check stats ?

Yea thats the plan. Slowly but surely to build up my knowledge.

Thanks for that JennD. Do you know where I can find the SPI database ?
