In a market that is not really moving I think this is a risky strategy in this market. Also there is more money in the upper market rather than the lower market. Frankly there are better products in the market such as our development model where investors pool there money to buy a development project.

To make real money you need to be creative and know what you are doing. I partner with some very smart and experienced people.

Why spend your money on something that will have zero capital growth and not even great returns.
Whenever you invest it is important that you look at overall returns and also capital growth. Generally Storage sheds will be considered a commercial property which means you either pay cash (not a good use of your money) or you will find you can only borrow 60 to 70%

I agree, every time we hear about a product it is either very expensive or false. In some cases people are being sold over inflated property with finance. With the United States it is very important that you do your due diligence very carefully before proceeding further.

If you look at Sunbury there is nothing but vacant land between there and Ballarat. If you want to throw away your money buy there. Mining areas are much better but will cost a lot more. I would look at inner city Brisbane as well as it is undervalued at present.

send me you details I might be at least able to give you some ideas

Yes I agree I think the problem with Queensland is that the market is at least 10% under market because of confidence in the economy. I think we will see confidence go up a lot. I also think this is because Campbell Newman will be a great Premier. I really like inner city Brisbane.

That is always one of the problems with renting. You should also always check documents very carefully before signing anything. Also when you ask questions especially important ones always get the answers in writing. That would put you in a position for possible legal cation. However if you have nothing in writing and have signed a 6 month lease there is not much you can do.

It really comes down to wear you are buying. Frankly I would rather buy a townhouse in an inner city area rather than a house in the outer suburbs. There is a mistaken view that a house with land is a better investment. The reality is the land the townhouse sites on in an inner city area is far more valuable based on a per square foot price. than the land of the outer city house

If you buy a 2 bedroom apartment it will appeal to investors and owner occupiers student studios will only ever sell to investors therefore no real resale market. Student Accommodation us a poor investment. If you are loosing money and there is no capital growth what is the point in buying it. Remember everything comes down to supply and demand

You need to do your own due diligence on not only the markets but also who are the suppliers you are dealing with.
You also need to ask yourself Why do you want to invest in the United States. Then if you do what is your strategy. In my opinion the only reason you invest is to have a separate income stream to what you have in Australia. Once you have decided that you then look at the markets. If all you can afford is a $30,000 property then don’t brother you will be buying into a slum.
I think Texas but there are other markets/ Once you decide on the market the most important thing is who are you dealing with. Go over at least once to firstly satisfy yourself as to the market and the type of properties you are looking at and to also make sure that the supplier is in fact in the city you are dealing in. If you are not prepared to do these things then you should not start buying.
