Where are your properties?

[Dazz]

I see a trend, buy where you know.

Absolutely. Most of ours are within 10km of where we live.

Broke tradition with our last one however, that's 2,300km away, and have never been there or seen it. No demographic research, bought it on a whim. No PM either. Hope it's still there. Someone's putting money in the account, that's a good sign.

All in Melbourne...

Interesting JIT, see some healthy suburbs in that list. I'm sort of trying to invest in "blue chip" suburbs too. It's kinda of a toss up between 10 cheap IP's in average areas or 4 or 5 blue chip home in nice area's. Trying to stick to the latter myself, but it's pretty hard doing that.

Do you invest in houses or units\apartments?

Bought in Point Cook, VIC

I bought my first IP in Pt Cook, a completed 5 year old house.Not too sure whether I have made th right decision as there are plenty of new land release there. I always told my self the new land releases are further from the amenities , shopping etc....

Hi Ems

Do you invest in houses or units\apartments?

I bought a period house first, then an apartment, then a villa unit and just recently another villa unit. All are 2X1's, old and un-renovated (hence having value-add potential via renovations), but liveable/rentable as they are. I have a soft spot now for the older style villa units in good suburbs/locations, and particularly ones that are walking distance to train stations. I've strayed away from houses now as I don't think I'll ever be bothered developing them anyway. And I've overcome most of the body corporate issues in my blocks to my favour, so this hasn't posed a major problem for me.
