I have a 2br unit in Qbn, it has been continuously rented since I bought it, it is very close to positive gearing (in fact could be, but I want to keep the rent down to keep the tenant)I am able to manage it myself so less costs there.
I think this type of investment is sound, Qbn will continue to grow, and it will always provide for the cheap renter for the Canberra market.
