Hi all,
I recently purchased my 1st IP in Elizabeth Bay (Sydney). I initially became interested in the area because i use to do a fair bit of work their as a valuer, as saw some good opportunities after doing plenty of research.
I no longer work in the valuation scene and have begun reading some property investment magazines (e.g. Australian Property Investor) you find at you newsagent, in a bid to look and research my next IP. These magazines regularly suggest places to buy and sometimes forecast crazy capital growth (e.g. Chippendale, Ultimo, Glebe above 40% over 3 years).
My questions is do people regard these magazines as useful or remotely logical/accurate in their claims? Has anyone ever bought into an area after reading about a suburb in one of these magazines?
