    Hi all,

    Was looking to invest in western sydney suburbs in houses around 300k mark with possible reno/granny flat to increase yield.

    when I first looked at starting was approximately a year ago, the last few months seems the market is starting to move and im worried I may have missed the uopportunity to buy at a good price.

    I am considering looking at the brisbane market if sydney is getting too heated.

    So is anyone still getting good deals in the west sydney area with good yields?

    Hiya Waydo

    There's been a fair bit of activity in West Syd for a while now – I had clients only a year or two ago buying for low $200's – now they seem to be selling for a fair bit more. It's a big area though and there will always be opportunities. Personally, I'd keep my eyes open on other areas too.

    Cheers

    Jamie

    I would think outside the square with western sydney and find decent sized lands that are due to have zoning changes.

    Remember be very careful buying in Brisbane and then trying to build a granny flat or converting it to a multi income style property as it is actually illegal in Brisbane City Council governed suburbs.

    Must admit there are a few Councils who have now embrassed the multi occupation and these are proving very popular with our investors.

    Cheers
