Rent up there and enjoy the lifestyle. Invest somewhere else, the incomes in the region will not provide you with the growth to make a decent dollar.

Their interest rates are less than one percent arent they? Wouldnt be too hard to have the yields above that!

Aaron what order would you rank the big 4 in terms of serviceability?

What is going to increase the values of HB? And dont throw in shops, a beautiful place etc etc. The fundamentals I dont think are there for consistent long term growth. Incomes and jobs arent there for values to rise. Stick to Brisbane, you'll do much better.

Some pretty predictable thoughts coming through here. Good to see the east v west is still alive and kicking. Despite what many have said there is not that much difference in CG over the last 35 years between say Footscray and Richmond.... Suggest a few have a look at some data to make...

Have you tried looking in Elwood or West St Kilda? Very in demand areas close to everything and a lot less development then alot of the old inner city areas like Sth Yarra and Richmond.

New apartments can be very dangerous, particularly if its a signifiant number of apartments in the development. There is no scarcity about them, there will be alot of people looking to rent them out so the rent agents quote is often too high as a discount war can eventuate. Worst of all the...

West Footscray to Nth Melbourne (edge of CBD) in peak hour is 15-20mins. Lack of roads? No more so than anywhere else in Melbourne. Infrastructure, can you be more specific? No gentrification? I guess that depends on your definition. But considering the restaurants, cafes, bars, renovating...
