@Christopher Wraback...hows the landlord laws there for dealing with student housing?  I know in Ewing they've been looking to try and curb the homes off campus used for student rentals..

Very cool, thanks for info!

Where's the hot spots around the area that can still be got in?  Whats it looking like with Apple coming in?

So, has anyone else noticed that a large number of the properties listed in the Marketplace are from Foreclosure.com???  It's rather annoying that they're adding all these properties on there, and to get any information you then have to go create an account to login to their website to get more information.  Is there any good way to filter these out, or force them to show the information here if they're going to have access to post there?

Why did the flood insurance make such a big impact? I was trying to find some rates for homes in seaside as I thought of buying a multi there and the rates seemed to be reasonable, maybe 1200/yr or less.

@Christopher Wraback

Any luck?

@Garvan Allen

Any luck so far?

Too expensive in Sydney and some more complicarioms like the FIRB and 8% extra you pay for stamp duty, something we dont have in the US.

Im American but have spent decent amount of time in NSW, Bondi to be more specific as thats where my partner owns a place and lives. It baffles me the going rates for places yet how little rent they garner. Theres no way anyone is cash flowing in that area that has bought at the height of the market, or likely even now. Its insane really.

Im trying to figure out next how we can leverage her equity into somwthing else in Oz or if its possible to take it to US somehow.

Has there been any update with possible moving to a more boolean search function? One of the reasons i backed off using BP was that everytime i was searching stuff Id get massive amounts of stuff that wasnt relevant because of the default ‘or’ parameter. I really want to get back into using this more, but the trouble with search function has been frustrating. Would love to hear your ideas and such. Thanks!
