thanks pjk1966 for your reply very informative. I am pretty well settled on what project my wife and I are interested in as we have a budget of under 300k and want a 2 bedroom unit. But if the project you mention matches this well yes then I would be interested.Thanks again for your help

Read heaps of articles on the net and magazines and then read some more. An advisor is a good idea but also do your homework on them aswell. If your looking to invest for the long haul invest sooner rather than latter but do your homework first

Sorry should explain myself a little better ………….initially for say 20 years I will use it only as an investment property until such time as I retire which it will be left empty for six months of the year
