Good position. Good return. Very cheap. One of the best valued properties in Sydney's metro. Close to station. Do your DD. Check strata see what the neighbours are like.
How are you calculating the cash-flow?

Yea I work out all expenses on a interest only loan and will be positive cash flow $15 a week!
Thanks for your input
Hi Mitchell
Don't think you could go wrong with the villa, if I remember right, 3 years ago while 2 bedders in the area were being sold at $175k, these villas were around the early 200's.
My son bought a 2 bed unit at $175k and currently gets $310 in rent ...so gives him about $10 pw.
Ok so when you say all expenses does it include the following:
1. Water
2. Strata
3. Ongoing Property Management Fees
4. Upfront Property Management Fees
5. Landlord insurance
6. Vacancy Period
7. LMI (if applicable)
8. Council Rates
9. Maintenance (depends on the state of the property)
Not to take you away from your original question but it is important to understand the true net operating costs.

370pw seems a bit high. Check on how long the tenant has been there for, there is an agent in this area who I have picked up on with a few high rental listings where on further digging, there are new "tenants" in at sale time on a 3 month lease who are paying well above market rent, are never there during inspections and the properties seem too immaculate for the area. I can guarantee that as soon as you go unconditional these mystery tenants will give notice and you will be re-tenanting at a lower market rate.
Thanks for your input what is normal rent for the area?
370pw seems a bit high.I second this. Depending on the condition - this would range between $330 - $350 for a 3 bedder.
We have two IPs on this street, as already mentioned, good location, good return etc.

ok, I know this property. It's listed since Oct 12.
From what i know on Dec 12, its leased at $360/wks on periodic lease, the lease agreement already expired on Dec 11. $370/wks now?? may be it's under new lease?
It is tenanted by, selling by and own by Indonesian.
Agreed with other, the current rent is quite high based on that. I would think $320 to $340 is fair considering original condition of bathroom and kitchen.
My final offer got rejected before Christmas. Not about the property, its just the return yield is not suit to my portfolio.

I'd investigate security issues with ground-level style villas (versus more secure 2nd and 3rd level apartment building units). Make sure, when doing your DD, you investigate the strata fund's insurance premiums for vandalism damage to the exterior of the complex. Some strata insurance policies (but not all) may not cover this kind of damage (offering instead only to cover fire/weather etc).
