    OK on the back of the Logan thread...I want to know how people's investments in Logan are going.

    Specifically...I have divided Logan into 3 area types

    Good parts - i.e. Rochedale, Underwood, Springwood, Drewdale

    Middle Class - Regents Park, Marsden, Browns Plains

    Lower Socio Economic Ares - Kingston, Woodridge, Logan Central ,Shailer Park


    I am particularly interested what you bought for, increase since you bought, over what period, yields and any issues you have had.

    I realise some of this information is personal but would be good to get an idea from people's experiences.

    I don't think Shailer Park is in the low socio bunch.

    I bought 2 3x1 hardiplank on slab houses on 720m2 blocks in Bethania for $250k each back in early 2014.

    I'm getting $325 pw at the moment for one, and the other I'm renovating right now.
    Growth has been over 10% (2 years) but I think I'll turn it into 20% (Over 3 years)

    Main problem has been tenants defaulting, and the need to renovate before next tenant.

    I think if you can pick up a highset fibro, dual living in Woodridge for 620k, you would be laughing. Not many under 500k now in Logan.

    I've got stuff in the 'lower' suburbs you mentioned, Sash, but only held for just over a year now, so it's probably too early to tell. Both got a $10 rental increase recently.

    Tenants have been very very good (better so far than my tenants in the northern, nicer, parts of brisbane I hold stock in).

    Corner lots are at least 100k more than regular lots, as it has more development potentials.

    Not sure how you define Shailer Park as lower socio economic.
    I would love (and sure many would) to be able to buy in Shailer, for 4114 money...

    Purchased one in 4114, 3bed house, standard land size of around 600sqm, mid-2014 for $250K. I reckon it is now $290-300K.
    So about 10% increase per year?

    Wonder if this will keep going... Is Logan getting expensive?

    wonder what happened to other Logan suburbs: Meadowbrook, Loganlea, Strathpine, Waterford, Bethania, Edens Landing, Margate, Holmview, Beenleigh, Annerly, Crestmead, Park Ridge

    maybe OP finds it difficult to categorize them?

    Good timing Rich. We just purchased in Crestmead which is probably in the middle class segment Sash. We're doing it up (cosmetic and minor building issues) at the moment but based on the agents appraisal we're looking at just over 7% gross. In a few years we'll add value to the property and push another ~$100-120 per week. Fingers cross there is a

    In the week that we've owned it I reckon it must have gone up by... at least 50k ;)

    Lets hype Crestmead - lol...

    Wow 500K how ridiculous. I remember when it was a mostly vacant new build investor disaster area years ago with plenty of sob stories in the media (like 25 years ago...)

    Are Brisbanites a bit pee´d off with southerners moving in and hoovering up IPs to escape land tax ? Or you like them pushing up the prices ?
