Hi all,
I came across this forum approximately a month ago and began reading topics before finally joining to increase my knowledge. I am 22 years of age and looking to get into property investing, I am in a secure job and earn close to 66k a year.
I am looking to do my first investment property with my parents. I reside on the northern beaches and have been looking at 2 bedroom apartments ranging in price from 500-550k in various suburbs. I have summarized the following suburbs based on research, living and working on the beaches.
Manly - prices are higher, high demand however growth has significantly slowed.
Freshwater - One of the most sought after suburbs, high demand steady growth, properties are selling quick, older style apartments
Collaroy/Narrabeen - Newer developments, more bang for your buck however growth has slowed significantly. Could work to buy whilst it's in a decline phase?
Having been attending a lot of open homes and a relative trying to rent in the area, properties seem to be flying off the shelf.
Up until recently I had most just been searching the beaches until I began reading articles that western sydney e/g Penrith were being listed as hotspots for future growth due various infrastructure plans set for the next 3-5 years. E/g Wet N Wild water park and Parkers Casino training center at Panthers.
Obviously prices are cheaper and I can pick up a decent house for 380-430k which also have higher rental yields.
I have turned to this forum to get opinions on the options I have presented and educate myself because well... friends my age have no interest in investing.
All opinions welcome,
Thanks in advance
