Not a problem:

Nimbin is increasing constantly in popularity with tourists as the Hemp town (Increased population, means need for housing)
Blue Knob as above
Mt Isapropertys are so economically priced that i do not believe you could go wrong investing here.

Id like to hear your suggestions and opinions also

I havnt, at this point in time i find it a little $$, even though greatly reduced. Maybe if i had an investing partner, we could share the cost.

Ahhh thank you, i only brought the book yesterday .. and the info is out dated allready .. Not impressed about that.

Thanks for the info however.

Also one more question:

Buy & Hold Most common property investment strategy where you buy a property and rent it out with the aim of making capital gains and / or income returns.

Renovations The idea is to make money by adding value to the property through improvements

Creative ‘Low / No Cash Down’ Techniques

Flips Short-term fast-cash property investment strategy where you buy a property and then sell it again before title transfers into your name.

Lease-Options A property investment strategy that takes a residential lease and provides the tenant with an option to buy too.

Wraps (Vendor Financing) Buy a property and then sell it on ‘vendor’s terms’. Receive regular payments rather than a lump sum settlement payout.

I cut and pasted this from this website ok what is better for a first time invester with a good deposit? I mean me ! lol! I pay rent, should i buy a home for me first or go into investing and if i invest whats reccomended in all your oppinions?? [king]

Hi ELle,

Is this your first property so to speak or not? Tassy is a lovly area, and growing rapidly from what my research reveals.

A believe you have made a good choice.

Hi, Im based in Melbourne and am looking to invest in Australia. Have thought about the Geelong area Vic, or Hervey Bay QLD.

Hi there,

Its an impossible rule but here it is:

your proposed rental income weekly
divided by 2
multiplied by 1000
Your house should cost close to this final amount.

Tell me what you think about this by the way! I cant find one property that matches this.
