I?ve been lurking for a year or so now and I thought it was about time I started posting. This is a great forum with so many inspiring success stories. I also think it?s commendable that the vast knowledge and experience that many of you possess is being freely shared with others. Great to see people be so generous.
I currently have one PPOR and four IP?s (all in Perth). Before I started regularly checking out this forum, I thought I was being pretty smart about the whole property investing thing. Turns out, after reading many of your posts, that I?ve made a few mistakes along the way. Obviously I?m not quite as smart as I thought! Anyway, I?m not the kind to dwell on the past. Keep learning and just get better.
As all my properties are in Perth, in 2015 I?d like to diversify and buy in a different state. Many posts I?ve read lately point towards Brisbane. I?ve been looking at the Mt Gravatt / Holland Park / Camp Hill area. I?m looking for CG and will probably want to spend in the region of $500k - $600k. If anyone thinks I?m off the mark with these suburbs, please let me know. I?m not too familiar with Brisbane but plan to visit within the next three months to try to get a better idea.
I just wanted to introduce myself. I?ve had many questions and comments over the past year or so and I?m sure I?ll jump in from time to time now that I?ve registered. Obviously, I?m also happy to share my experiences.
Just FYI ? my PPOR is in Winthop and my IP?s are in Success, Kardinya and two in Spearwood (subdivision a couple years ago).
Cheers
Andy
