Here is my deal I sold in July 2016 (4 townhouses, Thomastown, North Melb)
The irony is if I just old the DA to a builder at the time I would have made more money, that’s life.

Just signing up on another 5 years.
Tenant spending $100,000 to upgrade equipment
Its a sweet deal as a recent certified valuation came in at $1.3M. Multi National company had low reserve on this, offloading

There is also another option to flip, take profits off the table. However, very hard to find something with this cashflow.

Totally with you on this one.

Many of the deals we have been presented have been a no go, over estimation of end values etc. is pretty stock standard stuff.

There are plenty of tools available and information to work out what they should be paying and whether a deal stacks up.

I had a dual occ property in…[Read more]

Its a tough gig at the moment because we have seen the Sydney market booming since 2013 and many investors have doubled their money, my guess is buying now is possibly too close to the peak, just my opinion, smart investors have already taken money off the table or accessed equity and moving into different markets.
