    What would your list be for the 10 worst suburbs in Sydney in terms of tenants with damage, looking after the property etc.

    I think these areas often offer more opportunities.

    West is not bad at all… Look at Harrington Park or Glennmore park.

    Worst places are those right on the boundary of housing commission.

    I cannot give 10, and this is subjective, but I think bad areas are:
    1. The fibro house areas of Penrith
    2. St Marys

    MacQuarie Fields would be one.

    Maybe:

    Raby
    Campbelltown
    Mount Durrit
    and surrounding areas??

    (I hope I haven’t offended anyone living in these areas).

    Oi watch it buddy, I live in Campbelltown. Haha, seriously though, I’m not a fan of the place, or more specifically, the people and cultures Western Sydney promotes.

    As has already been mentioned, there are plenty of nice areas around Campbelltown such as Harrington Park, Mount Annan, Glen Alpine, and even the new parts of Minto and Macquarie Links. However, the holes inbetween are deep, and areas such as Airds, Claymore and older Minto/Macquarie Fields leave alot to be desired. The cultures of “ghettos” built and sustained in these areas are based around youth voilence and malicious damage. Alot of anger seems to be held by the population.

    I’m sure these areas exist in plenty of other cities in Australia… as far as opportunities go… I’d say, you’re a brave man! But then again, as Steve always says, you need to do something different to get ahead… so perhaps there is some sort of opportunity lurking which is avoided by other ‘mainstream’ investors. I’m sure the ability to be dynamic and think outside the square would be more then required… anyone got any ideas on how to utilise said areas?
