    Hi Guys

    I live in WA and are def priced out of the current market and looking to invest in other states.

    I have my eyes on Sydney CBD because I believe it is under priced for an international capital city.

    I really dont know what to look for because all I seem to be able to afford is a 1 bedroom unit in a high rise.

    Is it a good idea buying a 1 bedroom and a high rise building for rental reasons???

    I dont know I guess I have always looked for traditional family homes 4by2 and a little scared to invest in something like this..

    ??????????????????????????????

    If you think it’s underpriced and will achieve better CG than investing elsewhere, if you have a good pool of tenants to choose from, if you are getting a good yield and other benefits etc..in other words if it fits what you want to ahcieve and you’ve done your Due Diligence….why not?

    If it was me I’d probably look a bit further out than right in the CBD, but again, thats just me…

    let us know how you go.

    PS- How big are the Units/Apartments?

    How much has your Broker/Bank said you can loan on these properties under 50sqm?

    Some Sydney Investors on this Forum may be able to give you more “local knowledge”re the area etc
