Thanks sbetreen, I have realised that my idea was rubbish and I'm enjoying learning lots trawling on here.  It wasn't in NSW.

Appreciate your thoughtfulness though.

Regards

Good Evening

I can only answer that I wouldn't live near them, or buy a house near them for myself or IP.  I couldn't in good conscience expect tenants to live where I wouldn't.

I had friends looking to purchase near them once and I studied the research and yes, there were both sides of the coin.  A little like smoking 50 years ago, and look how that turned out!!

I may well be wrong, but I'm certainly not going to subject my health or that of my little daughter to the test.

Regards

Hi Everyone

Thanks for all your comments.

I will be studying next year and won't have an income hence the idea to put my money there rather than in a bank. 

I'm not really sure how it can be negatively geared when it would be purchased for cash.  ?

I appreciate all your input – I have a lot to learn and I'm happy to start at the bottom!! 

I think I get a bit frightened when I see houses requiring reno's but I think once I overcome the fear factor, I'd enjoy the process.

Thanks and have a great night.

Congratulations Goldies – Well Done

I'm truly excited for you.  I'm a newbie and am looking and not really knowing what I'm doing.  Also a bit mathematically challenged, but even I can see you did well! 

Hope you're celebrating! 

Kind regards
