Maybe try some of the property investor facebook groups. A lot of people share deals and properties on there. Best of luck with it all.

Plenty of other states are performing quite well Qld, Tas and SA.
I wouldn’t invest in Sydney at the moment unless you were looking medium to long term. Obviously depends on your strategy and end goal but if you have your heart set on Sydney you could look at creating boarding house style properties close to universities/job hubs. They are quite…[Read more]

Stick to the basics close to schools, transport and shops. Vacancy rate is currently very low there.

Terry has nailed it with the best option.
You could go regional but at the end of the day you will have minimal growth unless you do renovation work and a few extra thousand in cash flow compared to a savings account.
Tony Fleming replied to the topic Thoughts on Elizabeth SA? in the forum Help Needed! 7 years, 1 month ago
I’ve got some in Elizabeth and Salisbury region. If you can afford it I’d try and get into Salisbury over Elizabeth. Better quality tenants, closer to Adelaide and a safer option all round.
Tenant quality is essential in Elizabeth as there are a lot of rent being late scenarios down there. So any property you are considering buying with a tenant…[Read more]
Tony Fleming replied to the topic HELP! Changing from a IO to P&I loan in the forum Finance 7 years, 1 month ago
I’d talk to a investment focused broker to maybe map out the different options available. Might be worthwhile to switch banks and get a better rate for the principal and interest loan anyway.
I would never rule out investing again. Things change and Sydney might not be unaffordable for ever *fingers crossed*
Happy to pass on broker details we…[Read more]
Tony Fleming replied to the topic Should I stay closed to home or invest in interstate? in the forum Help Needed! 7 years, 2 months ago
It all comes down to your strategy and what you want to achieve. Half of my portfolio is interstate and as long as you do some thorough research and have a good interstate team(Buyers Agent, property managers, tradies) behind you, you can avoid a lot of headaches and sleepless nights.
A lot of people priced out of Sydney are investing in other…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum Kane.
I’d talk to a broker to work out how much you can borrow as the contract ending will more than likely be an issue. If financing isn;t an issue I’d pay 20% deposits and park the remainder in offset accounts.
I’m currently investing in Adelaide and there are plenty of bargains out there. I’d try an read up on a few…[Read more]

When looking for a good broker regarding investment properties I’d check that they are actually an investor. Apart from that check client reviews and check to see if they have a wide range of lenders on their panel.
There are plenty of good brokers on this forum that i’m sure could help.

I’d also add to look for vacancy rates getting tighter in short periods of time-SQM is great for that. Follow the big retail outlets as well.

Agree with the pricing on the paint. I had a regional NSW with the cheapest quote coming in at $4200 for internal walls and skirting only on a 117sqm built house.

Alarm bells are already ringing with the tenant and capital growth inconsistencies. Regional towns generally have very high vacancy rates and if the tenant is a nightmare it could be an issue with the whole towns tenant pool. I’d say partnership breakdown is really they are getting rid off a dud investment.
Are you solely just looking for cash…[Read more]

Welcome David and congratulation on your first home :)
As Benny said there is a wealth of education on this site and plenty of books out there. Sit back and work out your strategy first before jumping into anything. I found the best way was to work out what your end goal is and in what timeframe. From there you can work backwards and start…[Read more]
Tony Fleming replied to the topic Looking for Positive Cashflow Areas with Growth Potential in the forum General Property 7 years, 3 months ago
Logan and Albury are solid choices in my opinion.
With Albury focus very strongly on location to shops, schools and transport. As the tenant demographic is usually elderly or single parents especially around the older suburbs. They rent much quicker and you minimise the risk of vacancy.

Hi Valluvan. I would start by meeting with a investment focused broker to work out your borrowing capacity. At least from there you can work out how much you want to use for PPOR and the rest for an investment. The lending requirements are changing daily so I would personally try and get the PPOR sorted first and than worry about the investment…[Read more]
