Sydney CBD Units

These are on my watch list (PPOR - I want to live here so investment logic doesnt really apply)...

Excuse me whilst I play the newbie optimistic property investor and make some stupid assumptions...

Here is a deal that seems pretty good;

http://www.domain.com.au/Public/PropertyDetails.aspx?adid=2004534447#

3bed 2bath 2LUG $509K

The unit is currently rented for $560/wk

The carspaces are not incl in the lease agreement - they are worth ~$50/wk each

You do some research, the rents look to be at market rates...

Ohhhh the owner wants a quick sale...

Lets crunch some numbers...

Im sure we can get it for $500K - thats a gross yield of 6.9%

In the SYD CBD!!!

Give me 10 of 'em...

3months later - oh %*&# the strata fees are HOW much? What are all these rumors about fire safety and illegal occupancy? No I dont know anything about Regis towers...

(Jumps out of window)

Now I know about Regis towers, I even know it is at 398 Pitt St - still took me 5mins to work out this was the same building (they advertised a different st no. - which Im sure is still correct the block is probably 398-414 Pitt St)

Dont make uninformed decisions =)

PS Im not going to by a Syd CBD apartment tomorrow just watching, no need to come around and slap some sense into me =)

I get a gross of 5.8%...but understand where you are coming from ;-)

Might be a deceased estate and the owner already jumped.

($560 + $50 + $50) = ($660 x 52)/500 000

= .06864 x 100

= 6.864%
