    Finding an area with a long history of strong capital growth is and can be very challenging, which posses the question: ‘What techniques and resources do you use to gaining knowledge about a particular area?’

    Mine are:
    The API (Australian Property Investor) magazine is a great source of facts and figures, plus it doesn’t cost that much. There are a couple of web site I also use, however most charge an arm and a leg to get the stats. One other techniques is keeping abreast with media releases which also builds up the knowledge.

    So, what are your techniques to gaining this knowledge?

    Cheers

    historic strong capital growth = major city – my technique is to ignore anything that isn’t metro and on the eastern side…works for me.

    Hi Geoff

    i haven’t bought anything in Oz for a while, down here in Victoria we have a book out annually from the valuer general with heaps of data , sadly its out of date by the time it comes out but its great for tracking the historical figures of areas.

    regards westan

    We find deals in the USA with growth potential, with equity and showing at least 14% gross returns. Email at [email protected],
