Thanks for the feedback on my Doonside property, actually when I purchased this property 4 years ago now I was told not to touch the area, but at the time I was chasing cash flow and it has been a great performer, always rented and had no problem whatsoever with calibre of tenants.
You did well with Doonside, as with anyone told not to touch 2770 few years ago.
Agent fees can be negotiated to 5.5% if you haven't already..
People say Blacktown and LGA has taken off and is too late to get in. Where else you can buy a property for $400K and takes under 40min on express train from Blacktown station to the city every 10min during peak hours with the new train timetable.
