This is simply because it is the trustees duty to attempt to gain a fair/market value for the property.
Auctions can provide some of the best buying opportunities if you are sharp and know your market. Good luck

I agree, the East coast is definately beautiful, I started investing on the west coast and have now progressed over to the east.
East coast is more pricey, however, arguably better capital growth prospects.

that makes a great deal of sense. I would love it if a data provider could provide us with accurate and timely population statistics, would make finding growth areas a great deal easier.

Those areas also naturally attract bad tenants i.e those that completely trash your place and do a runner. Although you haven’t named the area I think you may require a little more research. Housing commission areas should not be completely avoided, however make sure you have a stragey in place.
