I’m just starting out myself so I’m no expert but I looked at Gympie and I think that it is starting to get a bit pricey and I didn’t think that the rental returns were terribly good. You really need to be careful about the property position too in the case of floods!!

If you want to go a little further afield, maybe look around Yarraman/Blackbutt or even Kingaroy which is really taking off. Rents in Kingaroy are around the $170-$175 av for a 3 bedroom. I think that even Dalby could be worth a look although I haven’t checked that out myself.

Hope that this helps you. Good luck!
