    It is all about timing, if the property was bought within last few years at a very high price then it is difficult to make a profit in a short term.

    In perth the average price of houses is under $300k, so I guess if I want to buy a house, I need to have that amount …

    [blink], I have $100 k savings, so I do need to borrow ….

    $300k gets you 2 x 3 bedroom units in a complex in Medina with great capital potential and less out of your pocket now and in the future.

    Houses have no body corp fees so they are cheaper $$ for $$ and get better appreciation over time due to land component.

    What are you looking to achieve from investing and how will the $300k rate for long term.

    Answer these and you will be better at guiding yourself than getting a “go here ” or “go there” from us. After all, its your investment.

    Don’t sweat the small stuff,and it’s all small stuff!!

    thanks DD, for your reply
    are you a buyer’s agent? I was thinking about using the service of a buyer’s agent….

    I am looking for properties with strong capital growth potentials, so I can sell them when values go up in years

    [blink][blink] I am not completely familar with all the areas in Perth, and I haven’t been able to find time to do the research, so I like to hear from experts ……
