Here are some resources for anyone doing a comparison of retail tenancy laws by each state, at this point I'm only doing NSW/QLD/VIC as that's where my shortlisted suburbs are for my first purchase. Comparison...

Thanks Scott and Chilli, doing some research and I'm starting to think it will be retail. My budget is keeping me regional. Offices don't seem to have adequate yields, and industrial feels like there can be supply issues with regional areas as there is a lot of land for business parks on the...

Thanks Aaron, makes sense - I'm better first selecting between retail / industrial / office etc before I can then evaluate the right area eg. Retail could be good in dubbo but poor in bathurst, while industrial could be great in Bathurst but poor in dubbo. I'll make a decision on which...

Thanks Scott, definitely will do. A few of those are in my target list also - particularly Dubbo and Ballarat. I'll investigate the others also. I'm definitely finding that deciding on the area is more challenging than resi as the same data just isn't available. Scott - Are there any...

Thanks Roy, very limited research so far in terms of actual suburbs. I like toowoomba, Newcastle, and Dubbo at the moment, but I quickly realised that my usual sources for screening suburbs don't work for commercial eg can't find published vacancy rates, yields, etc. as pinkboy pointed out there...

I use Fastrack properties and I've been really happy with them - have one property with them and about to give them another to look after.

Really valuable, thanks for sharing Decimator!

Toowoomba suburbs I've recently exchanged contracts on a property in Toowoomba and it is definitely a rising market - multiple offers on properties in their first week, and a lot of networking with agents to get properties that aren't listed yet. The eastern suburbs (Rangeville, Centerary...

For my first property, I'd initially offered $320K and I negotiated a $10K discount successfully following building report. It was a unit that needed new brickwork, replacing window frames, replacing hot wate system, etc. In hindsight though, I'd probably offered them $10K too much to begin...

Hi WornBlack, I live right around the corner from St Peters, and the Inner West (Enmore, Newtown, Marrickville, St Peters) have all had steady growth and high demand in recent times. As Newtown has become more expensive, this is rippling to Marrickville and St Peters. Enmore in particular...
