    Hi

    I have a 2 bed and study property in Frankston (bayside Melb) and I cant get $160 per week. Sure it needs some work though.

    I would check the rent appraisal if I was you. Sounds dodgy to me – but i have never been as far nth as townsville.

    Cheers

    Andrew

    Yields in Central and North Queensland are way better than Melbourne not even close.

    I’d do a check on the rental vacancies here. They seem to be on the increase, especially at the higher end i.e. around $300 p.w. $210,000 doesn’t seem too bad a price – which complex/what part of Townsville is it?

    It is a new development in West End (close to the city).

    For those interested, I will send email this weekend with more info and pictures, etc.

    Cheers,

    Darren

    Isn’t this property a little far off the 11 sec rule? Are you intending to put a fair amount of your own money in as a deposit? I am just wondering how everyone else seems to find cashflow positive deals.
