Hi everyone, glad I found this site as I'm looking for a bit of advice on buying my first property.
I'm 24 and looking to buy a 3 bedroom property for around the 350 mark max. I have a 10% deposit which I intend on trying to use only 5 of that to secure a property.
My plan is to buy a 3 bedroom to live in myself and rent the other two rooms to friends (for the first year anyway).
The main things I'm having trouble with is where and what type of property (older house on bigger block or newer townhouse).
Some areas I've been thinking are St Albans, Keilor Downs, Altona Meadows, Thomastown and there surrounding suburbs. As you can see there all over the place.
Am I even on the right track? I'm trying to research there growth but not really having and luck, any help/advice would be much appreciated.
