One of the first questions you should ask yourself when you’re planning on purchasing an investment property is what suburb is going to suit your income targets and also what suburb has the potential for growth and development in the near future.
This can sometimes mean a suburb that has just experienced a boom might not necessarily be one to invest in whereas one that hasn’t yet been through a major growth period might be your best bet. Remember to always do your research prior to purchasing any property and ask a professional if you aren’t sure.
