Hi mate,

I was born and grew up in Ingham. The town relies on one industry – sugar cane. My parents still live in Ingham, and it seems like the town is slowly growing. If I was looking to buy in Ingam or the surrounding little suburbs, I would buy at Forrest Beach. It’s 10 minutes outside the township and a beautiful little beach. Prices are rising there and some properties seem expensive, but others might be a good deal. I’m not an expert but I would think that with a lot of people retiring and looking to move to smaller towns, a beachside township, 1.5hrs from a bigger city (Townsville) might be a good investment for capital growth. You could get pretty good rental returns as well but I would be wary because of the small population.
