Hi all,
While I have found the forums on this this site to be very informative in the past this is my first post.
I have decided to look for an investment property in logan central since prices in Sydney (where I live are too hot for my liking), that having been said, it would seem that logan is also on the move but still much more affordable than Sydney's west. I am flying up later in the week to have a look around but wanted to consult the collective wisdom of the forum to understand the dos and don'ts, so here are some questions?
- are some areas of logan central better than others? Any no go areas?
- should I focus on logan central, any other close by suburbs worth seeing while I'm up there?
- was this area affected by the floods?
- there are properties like this one (http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-qld-logan+central-113211359) which raises my 'to good to be true' alarm. On enquiry I was told it was been rented to refugees... Is this common in the area? Is this a government scheme? Anyone know the story behind this property?
I think that is it for now but would appreciate any input you think my be useful to me.
Thanks! And a very merry Christmas to all!
Francois
