    [8D] I’ve had several companys talking up the returns of Brisbane and outer areas. I would like to know other investors view about buying Queensland propertys and if they have had success or not.

    Thanks in advance
    Pete

    Hi Pete,
    There’re quite a few Queensland investors who have posted helpful info which might answer your question – it’s worthwhile going through the previous posts to see what you can find.

    Cheers
    M

    Most people that I have head talking about Bisbane have nothing bad too say about it. I think its a matter of looking at all options

    Hey Pete,
    I have done very well out of Brisbane over the last while but that was also before prices increased to the level they are today.
    I will still expect to buy properites even in this market but instead o 7-8 per year it will probably drop back to 2-3 while the madness reigns. Many people are saying that prices will contintue to rise (BIS shrapnel) …I guess we will see.

    Enjoy

    I have 2 properties in Labrador on the Gold Coast that have been great for me in terms of rent return and Capital growth. I bought one just back in April and I just had a valuation done on it as I am buying another IP in NSW. Since April it has increased (according to the Valuation) by $30k.

    I beleive there are still bargains to be had along the Gold Coast particularly the Northern end (Surfers Paradise to Coomera). Much nicer lifestyle than Brisbane and only about a 30-45 minute train ride. Just my opinion.

    One advantage Brisbane has over Sydney and Melbourne is that is the fastest growing captial city in Australia thus strong population growth to maintain rent returns. The areas immediately surrounding brisbane are the fastest growing areas in the country (Gold Coast, Redcliffe, Sunshine Coast and redland Shire).

    This has been occuring for sometime and is likely to continue for a while. Thus I beleive Brisbane is just a valid location to invest as NSW or VIC on that basis.

    [:)]HI – I have bought 3 properties in the past 18 months all in the Redlands Shire of Brisbane (which is bayside – south east of Brisbane), the last as recently as Monday just gone.

    The first 2 have had excellent growth. The first is valued today at $80K more than I purchased it for 18 months ago and the 2nd is $40K more in the past 6 months.

    Its a very exciting time in Brisbane – but the price rise is still continuing.

    Good luck![;)]
