Would appreciate any advice as my head is spinning with the choices, and we have historically seemed to make very poor real estate decisions. I am in process of buying an investment unit in Melbourne. We are paying off our home in Brisbane but our daughter has moved to Melbourne to study at university so we would like touse my husbands super to invest ina unit for her to live in, and rent while she studies with a long term goal of my husband and I using it.
The hard part is our financial adviser is recommending off the plan unit which looks lovely but seems very small. These are in south yarra or prAhrN. Construction not started yet and completion in around 18 months. We have mx price range of 650,000.
The other option is to buy older established unit in say Toorak, armadale for around 550,000 which my daughter can use straight away.
Adviser says off the plan quality product and great location and worth the wait. I am nervous to make this decision as we are moving overseas for 2 years soon and want to feel I have done the right thing.
Ultimately y daugter just needs good transport facilities and inner city is preferrable.
Can anyone help?..
