    Isn't Sunshine to Melbourne is like Blacktown to Sydney ?? From demographics perspective.

    Wow, a 28% increase in some of those suburbs. I'm glad to see that things are happening along the south-eastern corridor of Melbourne. After Clayton comes Westall, Springvale, Noble Park and Dandenong.

    Thanks
    Interesting, Sunshine has had a great run.
    I know many investors were targeting this as was low entry, my how things change.

    Me too.

    I have been banging on this for some time now. Seems to be flying under the radar.
    South East corridor, look at lower entry for growth.

    MTR, Yes, prices are still affordable in the south-east: Dandenong, Noble Park, Keysborough, Springvale. But I'm seeing developers building large apartment complexes after buying up a few blocks. Residential Growth Zones are helping that along. Dandenong to the city by train (which come frequently) takes only 35 minutes.

    Not really no. However does it really matter? Property is invested in for money. A dollar earned in Blacktown buys the same loaf of bread as a dollar earned in Bondi. What your tenants look like, dress like and do with their time doesn't change that fact.

    What your tenants act like to your property and how they look after your property do matter. Quality tenants are always good for your peace of mind.

    Anyone got a link to the stats for all suburbs please?

    West heidelberg and fairfield did well. Those suburbs look like good value compared to the eastern suburbs that they arent really that far from.

    Indeed that does matter. When I earlier referred to not minding what my tenants do with their time, I meant I don't mind whether someone likes to play nintendo, or swim at the beach, or go to gala dinners. I do mind if a tenant chooses to spend time trashing my property.

    I've found that of my own tenants, those in the lower socio economic bracket are the best ones. They really look after the place, are very grateful for being offered lease renewals each year, are truly lovely people and very respectful, and even really listen to what tradies have to say when on site and are wary on my behalf of unnecessary expenditure with tradies etc. Meanwhile non-lower-socio-economic tenants are making constant demands, not taking as good care of the place, and saving up to buy their own homes. So they don't stay long.... they move out and of course that means getting the place up to scratch for new tenants. A good tenant lets you sleep at night and helps you on your wealth-building quest. A good tenant can indeed be a lower socio economic tenant (and often is). Don't rule them out ;)

    Well, I won't. 2 of my properties are in non-lower socio economic areas. So far the tenants there are fine. Just recently purchased another 2 in low socio economic areas in Brisbane. So I should be able to compare those 2 groups after at least a year lease. Property managers play a great role in filtering out good ones from bad ones too.

    Not million dollar club yet but still good growth. Sunshine is very similar to clayton but I suspect other suburbs like Maidstone would reach the million dollar club first

    I think you got that one right. It's changing but not that quickly! Anyone who bought something decent in Maidstone 4 years ago would be doing well.

    hi Rixter, as an experienced investor, wt is your opinion on buying apartments not the newer ones but old school in inner suburbs say fairfield, thornbury, northcote, as I cant afford townhouses (I know you buy townhouses)...do they see good capital growth.....

    Yeah it is changing maybe another 4-5 years sunshine will be a clayton. Maidstone is peaking fast over last year.

    Anyone has ideas on Mernda?? Train station coming up there too. New estates and quite amount of development. Only there is no motorway in North. Thinking of buying to live there. How does it stack up for future growth??
