Opinions sort.

I am new to this forum. I am interested in peoples views on what property options they would use in an area that currently had very low house prices, currently very short on rentals, but you had very good reason to believe the area was due for a population increase and finance increase inside 5yrs. What would you do? wrap? option? buy & hold?

People pay very good money for insider information on areas such as the one you are speaking of.

If prices are low, and rental demand is high, and you believe there will be a spike in population in the short term, this will push up demand - and therefore prices.

If I were you, I would talk to the bank, secure as much finance as you can comfortably manage, and start buying to hold.
