    Yea nice, I was thinking of those areas as well from reading magazine. I'm also interested in Orange and Bathurst, also I wouldnt mind checking out the Hunter Valley area. 

    Also back to my question, as i wanted to start investing. I want to surround myself with a good team and I want hear from experienced investor or even the new ones who is starting out and having success. Who should i be talking too?? or rather who i should be getting familiar with such as

    • is an accountant important??
    • how important is a mortgage broker
    • financial advisor/planner?? 
    • property manager??
    • should I work together with a real estate agent in finding a positive cashflow property or should I go in alone since i have heard that real estate agent cant be trusted (or am I being crazy?)

    Cheers

    Im from the Northern beaches area so the price there is abit high for my taste. I want to start investing in something alittle cheaper with positive cash flow (hopefully) to start with. Maybe an option is looking just abit outside of sydney. 

    I'm currently working as a mining engineer in WA so i can save a bit especially since i still live at home. But i am away half the time, I do 8 days on and 6 days off roster. However, that can be useful as I have 6 days off in a row which i can spend that time looking or researching for property.

    Nice, thanks for the advice Shahin. I think that saving is really important too. I currently have a decent deposit or saving ($60k) i think. So right now im just trying find out as much information as i can before i start investing. I only really seriously started reading on investment property for a month. So hopefully i will get into it soon.

    cool thanks for the advice drew.

    also Jamie you have a good point. i will look into a mortgage broker since getting finance will be an important part of investing.

    cheers
