There are some decent articles in the news section of the website that covers some of this information.

Here’s a specific article to help as well. It sounds like you are after a PPOR but the way we look at the world and property is an important foundation for what we do.

Hope this helps.

The good thing is you know why you’re investing and what you want to achieve. To me that’s the first battle. From there you can really break it down to what the numbers say and how it matches with your aims. That will be your best hope of making a good decision.

One point – projecting capital growth is an ‘interesting’ exercise.

There’s a couple of things to consider. It is usually helpful if your accountant has their own experience with investment property. And It is also important to educate yourself as much as you can so you are literate enough to follow what is going on. Last thing you want to do is put blind trust in anyone on your team.

If the block is on two titles would it really need to be subdivided? Or are you talking about subdividing one title for two dwellings and keeping the other? Even then you may not have to subdivide. Your approach would depend on your property strategy and building and council regulations/zoning.

Voters have nothing to do with it unless you are a member of the party.

Sure, the parties put up the candidates but preselection is not all that democratic.  Besides, candidates still have to be voted in by, and  supposedly represent, their electorate.
