I might also add that althought eh gross return is 10%, you will find that as these properties are so cheap, the rates and repairs and maintenance will throw them into negative cashflow territory anyways. I used to look at these cheapies but found that even if a place cost 30k, in Norseman, WA for example, and the rent…[Read more]

Yup, I’m buying in Sydney too, prices have obviously been coming off for ages, and there are some deals starting to surface that are 20% or more below their peaks.

I am wondering how the bank does not stiff you for valuation fees and so on.

Thoughts?

I have found a solicitor who appears to be reasonable priced, at around $1300 including enquiry costs and petties. This is much greater than the $795 on my last NSW deal, much much greater than my $455 conveance on my last WA deal, but much less than the $2000 or so including costs that most outfits in NSW seem to be asking.

surely there’s one person out there who has a solicitor that they can recommend. I’m looking to crank out deals, and am empty handed on the legal side of things.
