If you’re aiming for positive cashflow then it sounds like a borderline proposition. If the $70K is under the “real” value and/or you expect good capital growth then it may be a goer.
I am aiming for the positive cash flow ip, frankly i am not very familiar with the region and going to do more research on the surrounding prop.
but…
The property is not occupied and would require
restumping before renting and some renovation. It ison a 406 sq metre block and is well located midtown

Obtai a written quote for all work that needs to be done BEFORE the auction…say it’s $10,000.
As the right price is then, more like perhaps $60,000 less the $10,000 you need to spend YOUR maximum buying price is really $50,000.
Don’t take any notice of what the agents say to you. Check out the comparable sales for the area yourself. Ensure you have your finance approved in writing before you bid.
Isn’t the auction over? Septenmber 11th?
If you have more private info you can email me at [email protected] …if you wish

As I said in my first post the numbers are borderline for positive cashflow. Any excessive renovation costs could really destroy your return. Billfromoz is 100% right, you really need to know exactly what your costs are going to be before the auction. As a first IP in an area you’re not that familiar with I’d probably give it a miss.
I decide on that as well. thanks for the advise and its assure me.
