Yeah… thats what i was thinking… nothing to be found!!!! I’m ready to buy now – but looks like ill wait… or take a punt into regional areas! I think there are a few people heading further and further out…

I’ve got 3 properties – Narre Warren, Hampton Park and now my PPOR as Berwick…

I’ve had a great success with each – doing up, keeping and yielding good rent from them… I’m looking to repeat the process – i’m just not really seeing much in the market at the moment… translation – no bargains

Thanks Guys for your replies… you all seem very knowledgeable!I should clarify a couple of things… First off, this is in Victoria!Secondly – i didnt mean "discount" in fees from Westpac (I wish)… i was referring to government fees and in particular, the Stamp Duty.I should also clarify that while i have purchased my previous two properties…[Read more]
