Hi all I am a long time browser and first time poster as I am after some advice on my next move. I bought my first IP 4 years ago, a 2 bedroom apartment in ascot vale and that has has slow growth and now I'm looking for my second IP.
I am 30, not married and on a decent wage. As I am negatively gearing my first IP I thought it may be wise to add a positively geared property, as to not restrict any possible borrowing in the future. One regional area I was looking at was morwell. It has good connections to the city and prices there are really cheap with good rental yield between 7-8%.
Is this a wise enough move on my part? What are people's thoughts on investing in a regional town like this for positive gearing and possible capital gains in the future?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
