Yield is good at nearly 7%. I’ve found that yields are MUCH better than Sydney or Melbourne and I’ve also read that there is probably still a couple of years of growth in Brisbane. Inner city suburbs still appear strong but many are cautious about CBD apartments short to medium term.

There are a few good ones around. I have used DepPro for a property in Qld; report cost about $440 and was worth every cent.
