Thanks for the kind words everyone.
I have consulted with my parents' friends again. They are selling and have sold some OTP products in Mascot, Bella Vista, Parramatta. The organisation is as below:

Key points that they mentioned to me:
- It is not the right time for Penrith, they advise me to buy in Penrith in 2020
- Buying in Penrith will result in high vacancies and a lot of headache managing the property
- Negative gearing produces a better real return than positive gearing after tax and depreciation
- Buy new is always better than buying old as OTP units that they are selling (and not other OTP salesmen) are never overpriced and a rental guarantee results in never having to worry about the rent. They also stated that have financial and property management services to ensure that you'll never have to lift a finger other than to sign or buy.
- It is OK to buy units in large blocks 50+ only through them, as they will control the strata and create a situation with cheap strata (400-600pq)
- And then by extension, old units have poor capital appreciation, then first 10 years of any property is its prime
- I am an idiot to buy in Jamisontown as it will provide a great deal of headaches for me and it will never increase in value until next decade
I even stated that even if Jamisontown is a mistake, then it may provide some experience for me. They stated that "we are showing you the straight path to take, why are you taking the longwinded way to get to same conclusion?".
