Thanks for the feedback Rixter. I am seeing what are you trying to say now :-) I am looking for mid to long term investment (5-10 yrs). I am definitely not going to go for apartment, sticking to my initial plan. Calamvale convince me a lot. What I was just trying to say is that Richlands seems...

I went to both sites. Calamvale is a nice, matured suburb compared to Richlands. I can see that there are a lot of new land release in the area and a lot of new townhouses. Richlands is not as bad as I thought, whilst on the other hand I ruled out Calamvale since the price tag is almost as high...

Did you ended up investing in that area? I have just been there last week to check out the area. It reminds me a lot about Blacktown, NSW, in the early stages. One thing I notice is that there are a lot of land release in the area and new townhouses complex. Not sure if that is a good sign or...

Hi guys, Thank you for all your reply today, it has been really overwhelming :-) Spoken to buyers agent, he recommended Richlands compared to Calamvale for these reasons: New train station, gentrification on the areas and surroundings. However, Calamvale is still a good candidate for growth as...

Thank you for the response coastal. Is there any good schools and public transport around Calamvale as well? I am going to Brissie to actually look at the suburbs, I have no idea apart from what I can find in this forum or Google :-p Rixter, thank you. Yep, number seemed to fits my plan for mid...

Hi NZGirl, I am now looking into the same area as well with similar research findings so far. However, I never actually been there. How did you go with the research? Did you decided to buy there? I am looking at an offer of off the plan IP, townhouse (3 bed, 2 bath, 1 car) at around 340k. Not...

Hi SSers, I am currently looking to buy IP at the budget around 300k-450k. Recently, I stumbled upon few options : Richlands Village (Richlands, Brisbane) Distance to CBD: 18km Price range around: $350k (3bed,2bath,1car, townhouse, off the plan) Menser Place (Calamvale, Brisbane) Distance to...

Thanks Monalisa, will definitely do my research and make sure the numbers add up. Is it normal for the land type property to have lower rental yield compared to unit/apartment? This seems to be the case from my research..

Agree with your view on the Ponds :-) I wish I had the capital to go in at 2008, I was far too young and foolish back then. Speaking of Brisbane, it is completely an uncharted lands for me since I seldom go there. Any hints on which area that people start to look at these days? Units or Land...

Hi SS-ers, 2014 been a great year for all of us :-) I am planning to purchase another IP in Sydney this year. By popular belief, it has been known that Sydney is at the end of its cycle. Some people have been suggesting Brisbane and the word has becoming more and more hotter since last...

Hi WattleIdo, Yeap, I just bought one actually.. As I mentioned before, I am at the end of the cycle now but yeah, I don't mind to hold it since it has a reasonable yield of 5% anyway.. Hi Gockie, I am quite new to investment property. I thought the suburb is really reasonable. I do believe as...

Hi Redom, Thank you for the reply, and thank you for the emphasise on 'return velocity' - I should consider it before and I will next time! I just did my move to took the chance on it :-D A little bit too late now.. Mind you this is my first time. Previously, I was thinking about Merrylands...

Hi guys, First of all, I am new to property investment. I was thinking to buy and hold a unit somewhere in Parramatta area. Given that Parramatta is outside of my budget range, I started to look around the surrounding suburbs (eg. Merrylands, Granville, etc). Recently I have decided to go...
