The advantage and disadvantage of commercial property is listed in “How Investing in Commercial Property Really Works” by Martin Roth + Chris Lang. It is only $30 (priceless). There are so much info in there. Buy it, read it then you know what I meant.

I live in Sydney and I am just starting the IP road. I live in Sydney as well so you are not different to other coz a lot of forumite here live in Sydney.
It seems that QLD is the talk about finding positive geared properties but because I live in Sydney it makes it hard to get time off work to see properties. I know that I could hire an agent to help. Well, as far as I know the best way to do this is do your own due diligence on a particular areas that you want to invest. Then take 3 days of work and flight there to inspect and purchase property. I did that before and I don’t have a problem with it at all.
Or are there still positive geared IP’s in NSW? I alway believe +ve cash flow property is every where that’s include NSW if you look hard enough.
I would prefer to buy local or in my state, so that I can at least see the property before I buy. Yes you can buy local, but the local area might have a lot of -ve gear. But you never know 1 in a life time opportunity of +ve cash flow property might be there for you if you keep an eyes on the market.
Do many people here buy interstate? Any advice? I did and as above.ie.
1.due diligence
2.finance ready
3.get all the listings as much as possible
4.book a plane ticket to go there
5.call agents to book for inspection date, time
6.negotiate
7.buy
8.in the contract, include fax, photocopy.. is valid
…

Read property investment books as much as you can, attend free seminars as much as possible. Take 3 main points (strategy) that valuable and interest you and apply it. If you read say 30 property investment books and attended 7 seminars then you got 111 strategies to use in your investing journey.
Good luck

Good point. I have read that if you are planning on becoming bankrupt and transfer your assets knowing this, then the bankruptcy court can overturn these transactions as the purose was to defeat creditors. But I think if you are just purchasing assets on behalf of the trust, then they are generally out of reach.
