    do you find you have problems with vacancy rates? are any of you managing to positively gear them?

    thanks

    G’day,
    I’ve got one in the outer-west of Sydney and it’s definately not positively geared! I reckon you’d be hard pressed to buy a positively geared property in NSW period!I have been lucky in finding a good tenant who always pays one month in advance!
    Cheers

    on another note… somebody must be making money on inner city properties somehow? they can’t be all…um… stupid
    just wondering how with apperently low capital gains, a saturated market and low rentals?

    Inner city units are an expensive way of buying hope.
    As for an investment ….??????
    Look at the Connaught. It has great location, opposite Hyde Park, Harbour views from mid levels up, AND it has gone up very little in real terms in the last ten years. Other examples are the York.
    As a lifestyle, unless you are Chinese, the main tennant in the new developments, Sydney is dead as a doornail in the CBD on Sunday.
    I really don’t know what ppl were thinking????
    Believe that they were just buying hope.

    Hi JackFr,

    Currently looking in the Sydney Inner West Martket for a PPOR, but trying to find the “hottest deal of a life time” No luck yet, though will be looking at getting this PPOR and turning it into a IP at a later date, though if possible, will love to turn it into a +ve geared, but main aim is to pay it down as much as possilbe, then gear it, but offset it against any profits, if the property is still running at a loss.

    Cheers

    Hi JackFr,

    Rather than pay rent, would you rather be interested in purchasing a PPOR for yourself.

    Caculated on $750 a week Loan Repayment that would equal the affordability to pay such principle and interest loans at:

    At 6% over 30 years – A loan value of $501,000 dollars
    At 7% over 30 years – A loan value of $452,000 dollars
    At 8% over 30 years – A loan value of $410,000 dollars

    Maybe a bit hard to find a house at that price, but should not be hard to find a 3bdrm or even 4 bdrm Unit/Appartment at those figures.

    cheers

    Are you for real JackFr ?

    Your first post I read as you wanting to know whether it is possible to obtain a + geared property in Sydney.

    In your second post you are suddenly talking about wanting to rent a property

    Then you say “nobody in the inner city… was interested in leasing”.

    I cannot possibly imagine that it is impossible to find a property to rent.

    sorry, for clearity two seperate topics may have been appropriate….

    as a tenant I’m looking for leasing opportunities in the inner city of Sydney now

    as a prospective investor I was aiming at getting some further information at the kind of experiences current owners of inner city properties have

    “nobody in the inner city… was interested in leasing” was meant as “Is there really nobody that has property in the inner city?” and “As I was interested in leasing in the inner city”

    yes there are properties available however I wanted to see if I could deal with an owner directly

    thanks
