Advice on buying block of units.

I am considering buying a small block of units (3-4 units) in Brisbane or maybe GC, for next IP. Interested in going down this path, as the rental yields appear higher than just buying a house, and to diversify from just having houses as IP. This would be my first unit block purchase. Any advice or anyone with experiences to share? Also solid brick vs other types _ how much difference in value. Looking at inner - Middle ring suburbs, non strata, for long term investment, ATM... Any advice appreciated.
 
Best place to begin would be to arrange finance issues and find out what you can borrow as a percentage of the purchase price.

Thanks Marg..
Banks happy with 80-90% as long as less than four-five units.
Looking in 500-1000k bracket. A few in lower end but not brick ... Solid brick seem more exxy.. Not sure if much advantage...

Most unit multiple unit OOT in the brisbane area wont be brick

will be your typical rambling qlder converted a long time ago, with lovely original features

Brick will usually be in a place like Chermside, 4 units at under a mill here would be sensational

On the LVRs


90 % with 3 OOT......i can understand

4-5 on OOT,wed be struggling above 80, and even at 80 the lender choices are limited.
