    hey guys,

    i’m planning a trip to Perth (I live in Sydney) end of the month to look at properties in the Southern area (possibly around Mandurah and Rockingham). The trip is also to meet up with family who are visiting Perth at the moment as well. I’m going to be down for a week or so.

    If everything goes well (does it ever?), I might come away from the trip with a good deal. If not, I can chalk it up some experience. I don’t have much knowledge in this field (apart from reading Steve’s books, and some reading online), so I’m looking for as much help as I can to make my trip productive.

    What kind of things should I be aware of when looking at / buying property? Tips or pointers to good resources are much appreciated. I have about 2 weeks to get ready. Many thanks for any positive input I can get.

    I wanted to buy property in the Rockingham / Mandurah area in 1998 & 1999, but my work circumstances did not let me.
    It is a good growth area with a growing population and new infrastructure in the freeway and electric rail extensions.
    It also has a major naval base, near industry and good services and beaches.
    The major drawback is the low rental return which is worse now that prices have doubled with low yields.
    But if you can find a good positive cashflow property there, buy it.[biggrin]
