All of these suburbs would be good, tighes hill especially at the moment is said to be performing well. Personally I like waratah. Have to say though for $350k it will most certainly be a fixer-upper!

I have replaced the ones in my place with some from bunnings, you can get white plastic ones that snap into place for about $7 a pop from memory. I opted for the slightly more expensive cedar louvered type that bunnings also stock and painted them in the same colour as my skirting and...

Hey mate, I think the re phrase was a good idea haha, I couldn't work out how you got a corner block on the new street in newy for 450K! Anyways, I am only a newbie to property investing but my dad has been pretty successful and has used Farrow Wyatt chartered accountants in Maitland for a...

Your bathroom is the same layout as mine! "cozy" I think is how an estate agent would describe ;) Found this photo online of a reno done while keeping the same layout if it helps you I am reining my bathroom early in the new year and have decided to take out the wall between bathroom...

Sounds like a wasp

Following after warren buffet?

Just in time! about to put the doors on at my place, only difference is mine are 4 panel and I've been using dulux aquanamel not enamel :o. Not completely impressed with the aquanamel but whats done is done. So only 1 coat of gloss per side? Thanks for sharing.

Same ceiling fans as my place, good taste ;)

I'm in the same boat as you mate, I am 26 though. Only 1 of my mates is into property investing so it's good to see a few other young blokes on here. Currently reno-ing PPOR and buying IP next year (positive thinking!)

I just google mapped it and I know where it is, brother in law has a new-ish house out that part of Rutherford and struggled to get tenants in there. I am looking at more of a CG property next not so much CF so Rutherford may not exactly be my first choice.

That's the place! Is it still listed? It seemed very cheap to me. Any idea on the street?

Thanks for replying, I have a place in East Maitland out near Morpeth That is fantastic growth pre reno, I had no idea Rutherford was performing that well. Some bargains are sure to be had around Rutherford. Saw a brick place advertised, it was mid reno and a mortgagee sale on 600m2 I think...

If you don't mind me asking,why did you choose rutherford?

Very interesting, does anyone have a link to the offer? I have a friend who might be very interested in this. Cheers.

Good post ben, very informative. Still undecided on the strategy I want to pursue but yours is what I am leaning too now. Still renovating my PPOR to extract equity which will one day be and IP. Plan is next property to buy a place for reno but one that doesn't require quite as much work.
