Hi there,
I have been in Australia for nearly 3 months now but I am a UK resident. I have been reading a reasonable amount about the Australian real estate system here and want to invest but have found one crucial problem. I have heard that I might only have the option of buying new properties and vacant land in order to bulid upon and not buy older properties because I am not an Australian resident. I am only interested in older housing and not new real estate. Is this true? or are there conditions regarding buying older properties which might allow me to buy the type of properties that I want? I would appreciate any help in this matter.
Thanks
Graham
