    Advice, Opinions wanted!

    I purchased a property some time ago in the bayside suburb of Cleveland which I am very happy with.
    I am now looking for another property to purchase in Queensland as I plan to move there at the end of the year.
    I am having trouble making a decision as I feel I have not spent enough time looking around as I live in Sydney.
    Should I purchase around Cleveland, Victoria Point
    , Manly or should I look at the North side or central Brisbane?

    I think all these areas offer good growth in the long term. I can only suggest diversify your investment localities. buy some closer to CBD and some farther away. That’s what I’m going to do.

    Hi there mpks70. I too live in Sydney but aspire to move to Qld some day. You mentioned Cleveland and Victoria Pt. Have a look at Redland Bay (same postcode as Vic. Pt and just down the road). I believe it is really growing there and seems a bit more secluded (if that makes sense). I have an I/P there that has seen phenominal growth. Just an opinion but I think it is great both to live there and for any future I/P’s
    All the best

    It’s also worth looking around Caboolture, Deception Bay, Beachmere, Bellmere, Redcliffe etc. These areas are just now beginning to grow – Brisbane is stretching out again and anywhere within 50 min of Brisbane CBD and bayside is likely to bring in sound returns. If you look at how the gold coast has connected to brisbane over the past 15 years – you can see how it will happen northside of Brisbane over the next 10. Caboolture Shire has experienced a growth rate of around 20% per annum for the past 4 years and is expected to outstrip the national growth average over the next 3 years (report from Caboolture Shire Council). Beachmere and Bellmere also placed in the top 50 areas in Australia last year for property growth..
    Something to chew on anyways [:)]

    These figures might not be ‘exact’ as I can’t find the folder I was reading it from…but it is certainly within the vicinity of the figures I have quoted..

    Regards

    Hi Sharon.

    Thank you for your reply, your information is both informative and interesting. I will look into beachmere and see what I can find as this is a suburb that I have not looked at.

    All the best..

    Its very hard to answer a question like this without knowing how much you want to spend and if you are looking for positive cash flow, nuetral cashflow or capital growth/ negative cash flow ?

    Geez Mark, you’re doing all the hard work for me !! I was thinking of asking a similar question.

    I’ll give you a buzz during the week, i have found a couple of properties you might be interested in…
