It depends the rental price, type of property, location, terms and agreement, quality of tenants and of course the real estate agent. May I know where about in inner west? and what do u mean longer (i,e, few days or few weeks)?
around three weeks GOM. Perhaps I was being impatient. But from the feedback and types of enquiries, the feel is that potential tenants were not under any pressure and could take or leave. It's a good solid property which takes in over 790 per week but it makes me think, perhaps there is a 2 (or 3…4) tier rental market as well? And there is more pressure on one tier than another and that is what the media is looking at. .

I am a bit biased shay, because I have bought in the area. After some research and advice from people whose advice I respect, I have invested in a property there. I obviously think that certain properties in the area are going to do very very well, and I have put my money on that. But that is just me.
Different people look at different things, but what some of the factors I considered were:
Close to Sydney, the city which has not performed well and is showing signs of localised recovery
close to transport
close to pool of variety of tenant demographic (University Student or employee/Sydney CBD worker/Hospital worker)
A considerable amount of future infrastructure planned
Good rental return
Very good potential for capital growth
advised that it was a good area!!
There are many other things people look at, but there you go, that's just me.
Bear in mind though, I would be very choosy on the type of property. I haven't gone 1 or 2 bedrooms or within a large complex (although these types may do quite well too…). Just my humble thoughts.
We have recently dealt with those agents on the ground Michael mentions, and have invested in one of these areas (which is why we are following this area in the media!). Time will tell of course, however we think (thanks to Metropole) that we have done very well. We like many, are more interested in capital growth and are very confident in that, however the bonus is the rental yields at the moment in these areas, which are great!
