    Everytime I search in Domain etc I see these Student Units in Broadway Sydney for Sale.
    There must be a high turnover.
    They are ranging from about 180k plus and really havent had much CG over the years I I have seen them advertised.

    Rental income seems to be good though , I am starting to wonder if they would be good investments ?
    It says in the adverts they are managed by a Student accomodation service ,and IP only, is it possible in the future you the owner could move in ?

    Why is there always high turnover ?

    Anyone own a unit at 1185 Broadway or looked at them ??

    I looked at them. they are limited to students only. You can never move into it or rent it to anyone else. This is enforced. The one I looked at was super small too 20-30 sqm!

    Can't remember much else about it, sorry....

    Some were selling for 100-135k 10-12 years ago.

    CGT evident but not great.

    You will need to investigate management fees and finance eligibilties before making a call on these.

    NO

    NO

    People that own them want out.

    You're unlikely to find anyone on here firstly, that would buy this sort of property and secondly, would admit to it. :p
