Specififically in the local area... Prestons, Glenfield, edmondson Park, Horningsea Park. I'd be surprised if it was extremely different in the northwest, however don't know for sure. Some simple searches on rental availability should pick this up

There seems to be a lot of focus on suburbs were foreigners, especially Chinese like to buy investment property as these typically experience fantastic capital gain due to the gigantic influx of cashed up investors. However do these suburbs have the potential to turn into the mining towns...

From what you are saying i assume it is positively geared, if that is the case why not hold onto it and use the the equity in the property to buy the 2nd IP in Brisbane. You will hear many stories from people (myself included) who have regretted selling investment properties especially if...

I live in the SW and just went for a drive around Leppington/Middleton Grange and there is "A LOT" of undeveloped land. I think the risk is that if developers and councils get their act together and accelerate land release this has the potential of supply overtaking demand, in the same way...

Hello Everyone, I have an IP in Sandgate and realize that southern bayside suburbs such as Manly, Wynnum are generally valued higher than the Northside bayside areas like Shornecliffe, Sandgate & Brighton. On paper they seem very similar - both serviced by train lines - similar...

Another interesting article with some good information however seems to sit on the fence with regards to where the property is at the moment http://news.domain.com.au/domain/real-estate-news/the-housing-bubble-explained-20150606-ghha4m.html
