    Hi everyone,

    I am currently learning about the world of property investing and realise I need to know a lot about
    things like capital growth rates and rental yeilds but not sure where to get the info. Do I need to buy
    the reports from web sites such as propertyvalue.com.au and hotspotting.com.au?

    Hi Katri, and welcome to the forum . Rather than that, why not buy (and read) some of the excellent property mags there currently are. API (Aust Property Investor) is great value, especially for giving you a well rounded overview of property, arreas, and also what strategies others have tried and experieinces they have had. Then go form there. That may include buying reports once you have narrowed down an area. All the best.

    Hi Katri,

    You do not need all the magazines and subscriptoin. Just read, look listen and ask. Many financial institues will gladly give you information on a dily basis on what trends the markets are showing which will obviously effect the property markets. You will learn a great deal more rfom actually doing things yourself.

    Hey there,

    You know that ringing and asking Real estate agents, property managers etc can also provide you with some of this information for free.  Further more you can start building your confidence and relationship with agent in your target area.
    For rental yields you can always get your hands on a rental list and look at what price homes are selling for and work out a rough yield percentage for yourself
