    As a general rule of thumb, do people like renting out houses that are situated in a convenient location?
    I am looking to purchase a house in the Hills district of NSW (Quakers Hill, Baulkam Hills, Castle Hill, Kellyville), and recognize that I will be cash flow negative, but want to understand if I will be in a situation of my property not being rented out at all.
    Any help appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Stick to the basics close to schools, transport and shops. Vacancy rate is currently very low there.

    It would be very unlikely to a standard property in a metro area in Australia and have it indefinitely vacant. You can look up the vacancy rates by suburb here: http://sqmresearch.com.au/vacancy.php?t=1

    Generally suburbs float between 1-5% dependent on how tight ownership is in an area.
