Hi Thommo,

We recently purchased in the Hunter Valley region, in Maitland. The vacancy rate is very low, properties are very solid and sound and there is a lot of government spend in the area in terms of new infrastructure. The town is well equipped with plenty of big name brand stores, hospitals and schools and good transport. Don’t let the doom and gloomers affect your decision making as there is always someone out there telling you to do otherwise.

Do you research and if the stats and numbers match up, then go for it. The worst mistake is to do nothing at all.
Good luck and let us know how you go!

P.s The Hunter Valley region is a marginal government seat so both parties take strongly to that area and will do a lot to keep it on side.
