    you might be on a winner in melton. new govt report talking about huge population growth in the next 10 years. currently you can get a half decent 3 bedroom house for 200-220 k.

    wont be positive cashflow but i reckon its still a good investment..

    If you do your homework and are patient, there is property there in the 160+ range…. that is, if you take yr time…..

    Melton is a nice place to live, and, yes, it should be a good area in the future….

    I used to live in Sydenham 25 years ago, and all we had around us were cows….. now the place is surburbia….. :p

    Cheers

    I just bought my first home in Melton South for $180k, 3 bedroom, split level with ducted heating. I was persuaded by all my workmates, most of whom live there. Its got a great V-line train service, Victoria University, shopping malls and pretty much everything you’d need. Its got a good country feel to it too (for the moment at least) [:)]

    I would be a bit concerned regarding the capital growth in the area. There is plenty of flat land available for development and this will limit the growth in property values.
    I think that this is a problem with Melbourne generally – developments in North, West and South East.
