    Maybe the title should have been best high yield suburbs?
    High yield is good, but I also like a bit of capital growth too. Theres no way I'd buy a house in balga for $400k (maybe 320-350k) when there are other good suburbs at similar prices nearby.

    Actually I just had a quick look on RE.com and I couldn't find any for 400k (no 4×2) all I see is…[Read more]

    Hi Penpro,
    Do you have an online listing with pictures maybe a floor plan?  then we could give some pointers, painting everything white is a good idea but buyers nowadays are switched on to this, that sometimes all white seems too stark and uninviting. Maybe adding wall lights with directing light up to the ceiling maybe able to create a more…[Read more]

  • mel_d01 replied to the topic Brick interior walls in the forum Value Adding 15 years, 3 months ago

    Hi Bjaust,Yes, I do think plastering would add value, you'll be surprised how much brighter the room becomes (esp painted in neutral white tones) and if your trying to sell people can easily visualise painting a different colour compared to re-plastering. Rendering internally was popular in 90s, something to think about is quiet a lot of work…[Read more]

    Hi AimHigher, I have been to one of john fitzgerald seminars, which I found was ok if your plan is to buy and then use the equity and hope that property prices go up, all while using negtive equity. I find this strategy is good for tax breaks but not used as a full investment plan as there's only so many propertities you can afford if they are all…[Read more]
