Is there hope for me?

Hi Wender

Sometimes high rental return properties are low capital growth.  In the long run, low capital growth is very costly for a few measly bucks a week in rent.  If you can afford to buy into an area that's within daily commuting distance of one of the big cities (ie Melb, Sydney, Brisbane etc), it'd be a good idea.  Secondary to that there are the regional cities that have unis and hospitals.  They seem to do well.  I am not familiar with Queensland regional cities, but I'm talking about equivalents to Victoria's Geelong and Ballarat.
