PropertyGuru, your calculations are correct as are SiS, but a reality check is required here. I own 2 ip’s in the south frankston area,1 valued at 190k-210k and the other 220k.
First one rents for 180 pw and second for 185 pw.
that is average for the area for this price range of house.

Did some serious homework over the weekend and as you say Portland is looking good.
Questions for you:
generally speaking, what is the maximum distance out of town (Portland or Horsham for eg.) you would consider buying.? do small acerages with house rent well? Do they attract better rent?
thanks for all your help.

I was in stawell last year for a night and thought it really nice place.You can always tell how country towns are doing by walking down the main street and looking for new cars, vacant shops and the condition of the gardens especially those maintained by council.Stawell reminded me of colac, everything was spic and span and looked…[Read more]
