    Bought the books, did the work, made my own spreadsheet tools for quick answers, hit the pavement, and today bought two properties.
    recently renovated, 2 bedroom, appear to be about 15% below market. Owner had to quit asap, bought 2 of 4 in block.
    3 days of negotiation, but gross yield is approx 7%.
    Is CF neutral, but should be CF+ in about 12 months. Suburb gaiing at 15% PA from all reports I can get.
    Property is 2 mins from station, supermarkets, schools.
    About 3 mins away, Aldi, Maxi Foods have invested in new supermarkets, and local shopping complex has received a fitout.

    Offer has been accepted, contracts tomorrow.

    Wish me luck! We are on our way!.[biggrin]

    Wow 15 p.a growth!?! Must be located in Western Australia!

    Note that units have lower land components, and as a rule increase at much slower rates than conventional properties.

    Good stuff anyway…you have to be in it, to win it!

    Answering my own posts? is that bad form?
    When an observer (ie property reports) say that the area has a 15% PA growth, it is a simple calculation of what has been sold in that suburb. It may have no relevance to what I actually bought, as it only aplies to what was sold.
    if only prime condition units or flats are sold tis year, then the amounts will always be high if previously only the poor condition ones were sold, , people fixed them up (us) and the resold them.

    Can only be used as a guide, not an investment plan!

    And now I have taken possession!
    Settled on Friday, tenants moved in on Saturday – at a rent above rent estimate
    Quantity surveyor also had good news for me re depreciation schedules and what I can claim this year, so It is all Systems GO.

    Now where was the real estate section of yesterdays paper?
    lets find the next one!

    Congratulations Peter. Now that it has settled and you own the property would you be willing to tell us which suburb you bought in?

    You have done very well!
