Lots of talk that Sunshine Coast is good area to buy but saying that a lot of people have been saying that for years. It is finally moving but need to be in right area.. Personally would not buy from any ‘property service mob’ did once never again. If they tell you of a property and price just do your own due diligence look in realestate.com and investigate other similar properties in the area so you know you are not paying too much. Make sure property is positively geared and yield is good. As you are a first time investor do not buy units close to city (unless) you are sure there is no over supply issue and do not buy in mining town good yield at first but if mine goes so does your money. I would listen to what he says but if it appears really really really good would be suspicious… just some thoughts.
