Hi guys
I need some ideas in terms of investing up to $160K. I am interested in either 1 bedroom units or apartments or a block of land in a growth corridor.
Any ideas or suggestions would be most welcome. I live in Melbourne and I am open to investing interstate as well as Vic.
Thanks
Nat
You need to decide the following choices
if you want to have a loan with you repaying the whole cost ie owning a block of land without any rental income
if you want to buy a unit and have strata title and body corporate but receive rent

if you want to buy a house with more land and receive rent and some capital gain on the land content.

Im not a an invetment adviser or such so this is only my opinion. If you have $160k in cash to invest have a look at all the options. Why property? Its on the way down or at best flatening out. Property is a long term investment if you want out in 3-5 years in a flat market you may only break even. Ive seen it in recent sales. A high groth corradoor if you find one please let me know asap. A 160k investment in a TD at 8.1% ( and the banks are screaming for money now) will get you 12,960 pa. Thats $249 per week of course its before tax after 30 % tax its still $174 clear a week garenteed 100%. You will have to borrow to buy anything with your 160k. and have all the running cost. The rent will pay most of the intrest & running costs and you win on any capital gain , if there is one" if not you loose. And you only get the gain when you sell it ask a real estate agent how much to sell a place for 350000k its about $9000 so you can take that of your profit to start with.Cheers……….
You have $160K to invest, or want to buy a property for $160K?
If I were you, I would use part of the $160K for a deposit on a 2brm inner city unit (or 2!) and rent them out . You would have way better returns doing that instead of pouring all of your money into a one bedroom unit. The rent you receive would eventually pay off the properties, plus you'll keep building up equity.
I am sourcing properties for investors in the Western growth corridor, Brisbane. Huge growth area. Send me an email if you would like more info.

In my opinion you should get this for around $130,000-$140,000 only 19kms from Adelaide CBD, the houses in this street can sell for over $300,000, I own a unit in a complex at the back and getting $130 pw.
