Moranbah,Queensland (Mining Town)

Has anyone any particular knowledge/views/attitudes about this town.
Good yields are evident.
Thinking about investing there for +CF.

Hi there,

Gentle Chief is a member on SS who purchased in Moranbah a year or so ago as I recall, try running a search on here on the topic.

Cheers, Jo.
 
Thanks Silversands.

Hi DPF,

We bought in Moranbah in May 08. A 3 bedroom house on grosvenor drive for 330K renting with Arrow Energy (CH4 Plant) for 550 pw. Still renting with the same company for 650 pw and had a recent revaluation come in at 380K. Nothing extraordinary but still quite happy with the returns. Infact, over the last year I have learnt, the nature of the market in Moranbah is one of ups and downs. I had seen similar properties selling for 420+ 3-4 months back and now its settled back to the high 300s. Its a good time to buy now, in my h.opinion, and would suggest to buy newer properties as they tend to rent better even at downturns.

Good luck,

Cheers,
GC.
