    Hey Everyone,

     

    I’m new to the world of property investing, and have been researching and reading books for the last couple of weeks or so. I believed that I had found a gem in the CBD area. However its not to be so, as banks wont lend me 80% of purchase price as its under 50sq/m (46.3).

     

    Anyway, enough tales of woe. I was actually wondering…

     

    As I said previously I’ve been researching, and discovered that many of the suburbs have a renting percentage of around 33.

     

    My question is: What percentage of renters should I aim for in a suburb that will keep my property (when I manage to find one) tenanted.

     

    I am also using http://[email protected] to do my researching does anyone else have suggestions to another source of data that I may fins useful?

     

    Thanks all.

    Kind Regards,

     

    Nikki

    Not being funny but you would not have an issue financing a 46.3 Sq Metres unit subject to other considerations.

    Agreed. I went to another bank and they said that they would finance the property just yesterday arvo. But by the time I got back to the real estate agent they had already sold it :’(

    Kind regards,

    It's more the vacancy rate than the rental % I reckon. Keep an eye on the rental ads for the suburb – if there are heaps in that price range there may be oversupply.

    There'll be another one.
