    To answer the question without providing any advise or bias.
    250k based on price, closest to brisbane cbd -maybe look at the following areas:

    HOUSES-
    NORTH – Redcliffe, Burpengary, Strathpine

    Houses will be older style maybe needing work

    Hopefully I can post this without stepping on anyone's toes – I don't have anything to gain from this forum, just a brisy local with some knowledge of the area

     

    The Test.  http://www.realestate.com.au.  Zero houses under $250,000 in each of the named areas.

    It's simply by chance  you can buy anything (houses) under $300,000 in the named areas.

    I attended an auction in Redcliffe recently of a run down two bedroom fibro house on 400m2 of land kitchen was 2.5 x 4m, hot water system inside in cupboard, original everything paint and lino $278,000 deceased estate.  Now that's a bargain for the area and the competitive bidding by 7 bidders was proof of that.   

    Qualification min specs, three bedroom brick house on 600m2 land with an immediate return of $250.00 per week at best (that's a pretty ordinary return).

    Lets represent the market for what it is.  $250,000 buys very little if anything (houses) within 30kms of the CBD.

    Last time I checked Ipswich was a very very very long way from Brisbane 45kms approx

    ok I have a property at Dinmore (Ipswich) walking distance to train, school and shops. It's an eastern suburb so  it's a 20min drive to Bris CBD.

    Yes you right, not sure why maps.google.com says 35 minutes?

    Are you familiar with Browns Plains at all?
