Has anyone looked at investing in a do-up in the Pukekohe area or other south Auckland areas where you can still buy a property for sub 500k? I will do my research on this to see what the potential gains are but thought I'd ask here to for any first hand advice.

I've recently done 1 in Waiuku and have a friend doing them in Puke. Both areas are going gangbusters you just have to know your streets. Puke has really gone off the locals are all bitching big time as houses are now so expensive. Lots of Aucklanders commuting it is a pretty low risk market currently. Although the recent LVR changes have everybody except Asians a bit nervous.
I personally would look at Waiuku more seriously than Puke, It's only just going off now so has more growth potentially.

can I ask details of your Waiuku investment - how much was the property, how much did you spend, what were your gains and the turnaround time?
It's an interesting point you make about Waiuku, I was thinking Puke because of the latest unitary plan they want to make it into quite a big urban area.
