We picked ours up last year for 267, 4x2 ducted air conditioning double garage etc and getting 330 per week in rent and a sizeable depreciation benefit this year.

    Perth Property Market updates

    Ours was break lease too, we are now into week 9 without a tenant and we believe we have also 'met the market'. I think the fact that we are having this conversation on this thread speaks a lot to the stage of the market in Perth, pretty dire. We are going to use the vacancy as an opportunity...

    Perth Property Market updates

    We have been without a tenant after they defaulted due to job loss for two months in Girrawheen and have dropped the rent by 15 percent. Things are sounding very sad over in Perth.

    Perth houses are currently as affordable as they were in 2003 and 1996

    I agree there are lies, damned lies and statistics. Shadow loves them. But I agree Perth is stagnant if now backward for the foreseeable future. Recession is in the post and Sydney prices will be smashed.

    Shellharbour NSW

    we moved to shellharbour around 12 months ago. we love the area but rent here. shellharbour / shell cove is expensive to buy in my view, Warilla and Lake Illawarra present a reasonable opportunity in my view (I generally don't invest in property >$500k).

    mirrabooka, balga, nollamarra

    we have just put our Girrawheen property on the market. I don't think its fair to say that the downturn in perth is only impacting on these areas, I suspect the blue chip areas have a way to fall and will be hit as well. We did buy in the last 2 - 3 years and have plenty of buffer in what we...

    Peoples thoughts on Adelaide?

    Why not? Don't tell me you are a sucker for the old furphy of "buying within 10km of the cbd". Year after year the cbd becomes less and less relevant in major cities. Adelaide is no different. Eventually the government will be forced to act on Elizabeth, there is already plenty of investment...
