Hello,
My husband and I have discussed moving up to Queensland once he is done with uni as we are getting a bit sick of Canberra weather
We would like to live in either Brisbane or the Gold Coast - I'm thinking we would prefer the former but having not visited either city yet, I'm not too sure so we'll say both for now.
I was just after some pointers regarding areas and types of properties to consider. We may have it as an IP for a year or two before moving in ourselves. We would like to live as inner-city as possible with walking distance to lots of amenities and close to transport. The hospitals my husband is most likely to work in (I think) are Gold Coast Hospital, Princess Alexandra Hospital or Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital so it would need to be reasonably close to these. Our budget would be ~500k and we would like at least 2 bedrooms. I suspect there may be an oversupply of apartments in the Gold Coast - is that right? We are pretty flexible in terms of the type of property it is but the numbers would obviously need to stack up. It would be great if it was at least neutrally geared as an IP. We are not looking to buy for at least 2-3 years which is sort of far away but it'd be good to have something to work towards.
Thoughts?
Thanks
