    Yes you wil lsave money on insurance wit hstrata but pay a lot more in body corporate fees. Sounds like that agent is trying to talk you into something.

    With Torrens title you own the land component – and usually a larger land component than a strata property.

    Land appreciates.

    Generally a house and land is a better investment however there are always exceptions. Views for example can make an apartment a lucrative investment.

    But as a rule of thumb – capital growth generally favours homes on blocks of land. If you can afford to start there then this is what I would do.
