I used to use this line 6-7 years ago and from memory it didn't go through the loop? Was a pain getting off at Richmond then changing
Back on topic, $1.6m should buy you something just about anywhere in Bayside (bar golden mile stock and very close to beach). It's just a question of how much...
Speaking to local agents in the Essendon area, they're having an effect here and in Strathmore. Sometimes offering 15-20% above advertised price prior to auction.
That fits with the theory about them buying around quality schools and I should say is fairly restricted to those two suburbs...
No - I work in property finance in the private lending area. I cant comment on either Rocketman or Bigtone however which is what I was responding to (or anyone else reading this for that matter)
Was just putting other ideas out there. Of course you're right about if property is down many...
Buy a business or use the cash out to fund a new one, shares, managed funds, fx trading or even buy a property with approvals to develop. Many options other than buy and hold property investment

For the price of a nice house in one of those estates surely you could get something on a bit of land just outside town? Not like the estates are central anyway....
Depending on your requirements for the house itself, Niddrie might be perfect. If you're after a "nice" house though you could be dissapointed in that price bracket.
If you're prepared to live in something small and not renovated maybe also look at Pascoe Vale South
Oak Park is also nice...

And this thing about mainland Chinese you keep...
As mentioned, anything within 5km will be fine for transport and infrastructure.
What might be more of a deciding factor is your budget. Big difference in price between say Sth Yarra and Flemington
If I were to be given a house anywhere in Melbourne I would choose Toorak simply because it's the most expensive suburb.
I would then sell the house and most likely buy something similar in Brighton if I got my way, but if I'm being realistic my wife would get her way and we would stay put...
That 34% gain though, was that the whole suburb, just houses, or just apartments? Does anyone know what the gain was on apartments only?
For the record I dont have an issue with Footscray, but I would probably only consider houses
