    Hi Steve,
    I’ve just read my first newsletter.Great!
    I also love the forum concept.
    You mention property for $40,000, Is this an
    actual figure, are there really properties available [Positively geared] for this, or is this an “example” ?

    Thanks Steve,

    Believe it or not but yes there are properties avalible for $40K. And yes these are houses (though $40K flats can be quite good too).

    Hi All,
    Can you please suggest the best place to source information about Australian property suitable for positive gearing,low cost and of course with some future growth potential?

    There are properties for aropund $40K. I saw one the other day – $45K – $85 pw rent. The area is screaming for rentals.

    Not sure if there is any CG to be made for property that sells at around $40K. I see that there aplenty of houses for sale around $40K and even less in Qld’s backwaters. But I would guess that they would have a flat CG curve. After all, they are that cheap because nobody is buying there.

    The idea is to find such a cheapie in an area that is as yet “undiscovered” , convince yourself that is has plenty of potential for becoming a hotspot, then buy and wait. I’m sure that these places are out there, but they would be a real mental challenge to find.

    sui generis is correct. I buy these houses for cashflow Not for capital gains, other investors here like capital gains over cashflow. It all depends on your strategy.
