Thanks all for your feedback. You’ve given me heaps to think about. Might have to go for something a little bigger…..
Hi Richard
The type of apartment that we are interested in has a separate bathroom but the bedroom/living area/kitchenette are all in a combined space. Do they loan as high as 80% (I have had a couple of realtors that have suggested that they would only go to 60%).
Hi Eddy
Steering clear of short-term & student accom. A lot of the places I have looked at have the option of either short-term pool or longer-term rentals (3,6,12 months), and we definitely want to get a longer lease. We want to buy inner-city Brisbane and it would be very difficult to get an apartment for $200k otherwise we would go with that option. We are looking for a positive cash flow property rather than a capital gain, which is why we are looking at the area/type of property.
