    Hi Anthony

    What sort of rents are those $150k places getting? What do the vacancy rates look like?

    Cheers

    Hi Andrew

    I was hoping you’d get amongst this thread:)

    Have you got a few investors looking in the area at present? Have you also observed that the market in the sub $300k category has gone backwards over the last 18 months?

    Cheers

    Hi Robbie

    Check out the back of an API or YIP magazine as well. They show the median prices in each suburb in each state. They also provide rental yield figures. This will help you initially locate some areas.

    You could also do a refined search on realestate.com.au

    Cheers

    I’ve used corpred for all my schedules. I usually opt for the silver package whereby you provide the IPs details (including pics) and they prepare the schedule. The price is very reasonable as well – just over $200 each.

    I’ve been happy with them so far.

    Cheers

    Sorry Jamie cant be much help here.

    In Brisbane NOBO's arent that popular.

    In fact i lashed out this year and installed heating for all of the family………i bought them all a jumper and told them only to wear it on days if ever fell to below 16 degrees…….

    Oh to live in Qld.

    Cheers

    Yours in Finance

    Yeah, I didn’t think NOBO would be doing a roaring trade up North.

    The new PPOR that I’ve just moved to is in south Canberra….. probably only an hour and a half from the snow :(

    It’s going to be a chilly winter.

    Thanks everyone for the advice. Particularly the cost breakdown, it puts it into perspective.

    Cheers

    Wagga, wagga
    West Sydney (St Mary’s, Mount Druit, etc)
    Logan area of SE Qld
    North Adelaide (Elizabeth)

    I like Queanbeyan, NSW as well (for units). I wouldn’t say it was dodgy though (I’m sure others will argue the opposite)- I live just across the border :)

    I’m not sure. A few of us on here have subscriptions (so not sure about price per report).

    Haha, same! We’ve been to the same Bunnings each day for the last week. We go there to look at some heaters and leave with a $3k carpet order, 20 odd litres of paint and a new vanity.

    I’m sure there’s quite a few investing in these areas on the forum :)

    I don’t have a problem with investing in low income areas. There are risk mitigators such as landlord insurance and using a “good” property manager.

    In general, the yields in these areas are usually quite good while the growth may not be that spectacular.

    If you get purchase something at a decent price, add value to it and attract “decent” tenants than you’re onto a winner in my opinion.

    Cheers

    Hi and welcome to the forum. It’s always good to see another forum member from the ACT.

    Off the plan purchases in the ACT have returned pretty decent results for investors over the last few years. With delays in construction and steady growth, most investors were achieving decent capital growth before even settling on their purchases.

    Will this continue? Only time will tell. In my opinion, there seems to be quite a few developments going on at present which may have an impact on the supply side (increasing the stock which may effect capital growth). The Canberra market is also pretty flat at the moment.

    Where abouts in Gunghalin are you looking? What type of property are you considering?

    Have you considered purchasing an established property and adding value through cosmetic renos such as painting and new flooring? This is where I see value in the Canberra market at present.

    Apologies for any typos. I’m using this fancy iPad for the first time.

    Cheers

    Jamie, thanks for the encouragement. I think that selling my own home will be an enjoyable experience. I will have to read up on a few tricks of the trade perhaps, though.

    Excellent – with a positive attitude you’re off to a good start already. Best of luck with it :)

    I guess NOBO isn’t that popular……

    How about Rinnai panel heaters? Has anyone had experience with using these within the home?

    Hi Marie

    My sister in law recently sold her house on her own.

    She didn’t use a stager – however, she borrowed some trendy furniture from friends/family. With the new furniture in place and a bit of a declutter the house looked fantastic. It sold within a month – for a price that was higher than expected. Even the valuer commented on the decor.

    Best of luck with the sale.

    Cheers

    Hi Jamie.
    I didn't get the "our two fur children" bit until I got the May edition of API magazine today.

    Haha – I should have clarified, they’re my two pugs. They were on their best behavior for the shoot – it’s amazing what pugs will do for a treat.

    Thanks for the kind words Anthony – appreciate it.
