Wow Thicknees – 
generally speaking, some of  the best performing suburbs in townsville in the past few years have been the ones that are way out.   Particularly Bushland Beach and Rangewood.   Interested to find out which suburbs you chose in the end and your reasons.  I am merely interested as someone who is local and looking to invest in my area.  I am interested in other people's points of view (even if they conflict mine).  At the end of the day – it is not only about buying and renting – but about reselling at a later date.

 I have no knowledge of TIC, was just interested in other people's perceptions of Townsville.
