HI,
I am new to property investing. We have our own house in Point cook and now looking to buy our 1st Investment property. trying to get something close to neutral geared.
We looked at one house, 600 sqm land, 40 sq, already rented (tenants living in the house for couple of years and happy to extend). We ll only go about $400pm out of pocket.
I understand a lot of new house coming up in Point Cook, but I think the price have gone up too.
Is Point cook or Melbourne west underrated?
Is it a good buy or we should look at something in southeast?
Highly confused…I think as long as you do your due diligence and are looking to keep the property for around 10 years plus you will not go wrong. Personally you do not need a 40 square house. Something from 22 to 25 squares ideally 4 bedrooms 2 bath double garage. You will not go wrong. If you are buying to hold for 2 or 3 years you are a speculator not an investor. However these are are good 10 years from now people will be looking a look further out than Point Cook.
Couple of interesting facts, 75,000 people a year moving to Melbourne than 1,500 a week. Most are families and they are not building enough houses to keep up with demand.

Knowing your why and strategies for property investing is the first step towards answering the question you asked, that is whether Point cook or Melbourne west. This will reduce any confusion that you may have and get you on the right path in securing your financial freedom.
If I may ask, what is your goal or reasons for buying your first investment property in either Point cook or Melbourne west? It is for capital growth or yield? What is your investment timeframe? Are you investing purely for tax deductions? etc….

Point Cook doesn’t have a train station. So people working in the city. Which is most of them will not rent there. I don’t think there is an any good capital growth in near future for point cook. Its a new suburb has the bigger building and narrow roads. No major shopping centre to attract people from other areas.
Most of the shoppers and movie goers in the West would prefer to go to Highpoint or Werribee shopping centre.
Point cook is a like an Ocean of Suburbs or I might call it as Universe (no end in sight, not even Einstein can predict the dimensons). I am living in Altona North, Watching Point Cook Grow from Altona Meadows to Werribee South. Which is now called Upper Point. It might extend to Lara Lara which might be called Upper Upper Point Cook. So much land to put whole Melbourne in Point Cook empty lands. If you are expecting council to provide all the facilities. Don’t think it will be possible.
Point cook is targeted for Overseas Investors and Migrants. It is the only suburb without any boundaries. If you are a beginner and would like to learn hard lesson in Investing. Please go ahead and pay premium price for it.
Go for a drive a watch the ever expanding fields of Point Cook. New house with un kept gardens and small shopping centers. Bad schools. We dont have many great people coming out of that suburb in any time in future.
If you have $500,000 to Invest. Look out for a suburb.
1) Train Station.
2) Good Schools
3) Walkable to Train Stations.
4) Good Shopping centres (future entertainment hubs)Its my opinion only. No disrespect to people who have already Invested in Point Cook.
Thank you

Point Cook can be a solid choice for an investment property due to its steady rental demand and ongoing development. With a rental yield around 3.72%, it offers potential for both capital growth and steady income. However, if you’re looking for higher yields and lower entry costs, exploring homes for sale in the southeast may provide better returns. Keep in mind the market competition and infrastructure growth in both regions.

Email Me | Phone MePoint Cook is still cheap when compared to other Melbourne suburbs, has strong growth potential, good rental demand, and is a good long-term investment.
Point Cook has seen solid growth over the years, but like any suburb it depends on your long-term goals. It’s worth weighing up rental demand, upcoming infrastructure, and how it compares to nearby areas before making a call.

Still value in Point Cook when you consider you can get a freestanding home near Williams landing station in the boardwalk estate for under 800k that was built in the early 00s.

Email MePoint Cook has strong growth but with lots of new supply, yields may stay tight. If you’re nearly neutral on cash flow, it’s not a bad start, but also compare with southeast for better long-term balance of growth and rental demand.

Sounds like you’ve got a solid start with the Point Cook property, especially if you’re comfortable being just $400/month out of pocket. 👍
A couple of things you might want to double-check before locking anything in:
Make sure the area’s upcoming infrastructure and amenities support long-term growth.
Think about your hold period — if you’re aiming for 10+ years, the risk looks lower; if just a few years, it becomes more speculative.
Good luck with your investing journey!Buy UAE | Buy UAE
