I think you should talk to a buyers agent. If you get the right one, they can look at different property options, investment return, risks, they can negotiate for you. It only costs if you transact, they normally don’t charge you unless you purchase a property. They take the emotion out of the purchase, you’ll get sound financial advise. Some are also licensed valuers, so they make sure you don’t pay too much. there would be one near you, but I am in Adelaide and we used Property Buyers Agent SA. pbasa.com.au good luck.
