If you can try and negotiate the management fees it might be worth it but 16.5% of $635 is $104.77. $530/wk rent on a $715k property would be negative geared pretty hard. IMHO I don’t think it would be a good investment unless you are looking for a negative geared property and can afford to put money…[Read more]

If you have that much to spend you could buy 2 properties for around $350k in a lower risk area. There isn’t much around voyager point. The closest shop in walking distance would be over the footbridge to east hills ( where I grew up) that is also the closest…[Read more]

What areas were your cc properties, were they umina or elsewhere. What areas are you looking into at the moment.

I am looking to purchase my first investment property on the central coast of nsw in a few months. I am heading up that way to look at some properties in a few areas of interest next weekend, I was just wondering if anyone can recommend any suburbs that they think would be worth looking at while I’m there. My budget will be around $350k…[Read more]

That to me sounds fraudulent.

Once you do prefab you won’t go back to stick, it’s so much quicker and easier. I heard someone say there is 20,000 homes to be built in Sydney.

We put singles up in 1-2 days where as conventional would be double that. If there is alot of work for prefab up your way I would go for it.

Is there much prefab work up your way. We are flat out here in western Sydney. Heaps of new estates and thousands of houses to build. I just got offered 150…[Read more]
