    Does that means if the yield is going down is due to Property Price going overly expensive in those areas ?
    or it is because ofthe over supply issue (like in Parramatta).

    Which area that you mean Steven ?
    is it the Southwest Sydney area in general or the Illawarra region.

    Yield is supply & demand based. As supply dries up, yields go up.

    Cool, thanks Skater. I now understand a little bit more about investing in Property ;)

    Steven, those area that you mentioned is highly sought after by the buyers and occupiers a like, so there is no way that it can go down in values. I've seen it after having a walk in East Village shopping centre and Moore Park shopping centre across, the area is vibrant with plenty of shops around.

    Perhaps the rental rate is hard to increase ? I don't see how those area will become a problem anytime soon, perhaps from a plumbing issue in the next 5-7 years :)

    These areas have massive supply coming online, hence the concerns from Steven

    Anywhere can and does go down in a downturn .

    That's why it's called a downturn .

    I liked the old one!... I'm a bit like you Skater, all this change is a bit hard to handle. At least Seech is still hyping Sydney. Go you good thing, Winter will just give us a chance to catch our breath before Spring comes and we add another 10% to the current median before the end of Calendar 2015. Quote me!! :D

    Haven't finished buying in brisvagas yet ...:D Fifth today .... Still a few more to go , but there's plenty left .

    Then it's " Let's hype ....... " though I'll call it something else next time . Though the difference is its still good buying up there , so it will be more " why you can still get good deals in ........ "

    Yep...thousands of apartments in the catchment...a no go zone at the moment.

    But a go zone when it comes off.....rental demand will be still there.

    It's all relative .

    Sold one in Sydney and the five we've bought so far are still a fair bit under the value of the one we sold in Sydney .

    It's all relative . Another three and we're getting close to the value , and the cash flow on these is much better than what we sold .

    In the last cycle we bought 7 in Logan , but kept meeting people who had bought 20-30 . One ex forumite was rumoured to have around 50 in sunny bank hills ......

    Melbourne has had a bigger and longer running construction response over the past few years than Sydney, and is closer to having an over-supply, especially of units.

    Do you think it's still a viable place for investing in free standing houses? most of the construction is targeted at units

    Hi Cliff,

    Our Birsbane build is almost done now. I think I posted it on SS, but the total cost was around $750K all in and the valuations have just come back between $1m-$1.3M so we've done OK out of it. We only have $300K debt on it so a fair bit of equity. I'll get the Certificate of Compliance (its different in bris, not an OC) then try and get an LOC to 80% LVR. I might then come shopping in your neighbourhood with about a half million to spend. If I use that as 20% deposits, subject to servicability, then I could pick up quite a few.

    I think I know where you're buying based on some offline converstations we've had, but I'm not going to "out" you. Be sure and sit on that info until I have a few under my belt too... :D

    Cheers,
    Michael

    Congrats Michael! Awesome result!

    Looking to do a higher spec, freestanding 2 home build in HPW and just wondering what your development was mate and how much for construction?

    Thanks a lot.

    Hi Leo,

    So I don't take Seech's thread too far off topic, I thought I'd start another one to answer any and all questions anyone has of me around my latest build or any of my previous ones...

    Here it is

    Cheers,
    Michael
