    Hey everyone, in the last few months I’ve become really interested in property investing,I’ve read several books however none tell you where to start! I want to purchase my first property..what is the best option,a house with a big block to potentially knock down and build,a townhouse/unit or a apartment? (To rent) most long term growth.

    Hiya

    It depends on your strategy and demographics for the area. In certain areas – apartments/townhouses are the norm. Likewise with detached houses in certain areas.

    If you’re look to develop/extend then a house is the way to go. If you’re looking for less maintenance – an apartment is generally better.

    There’s heaps to consider. Personally for me – I stick with houses. You can do more to them (develop, extend, etc) and you’re not dealing with body corps.

    Cheers

    Jamie

    Adding value is the best way to grow. Find a property with a big backyard where you can build one or more additional houses. Or find a corner site or one with a wide frontage where the local council may allow a side by side duplex. Its great fun as long as you know what to look for. Feel free to contact me direct or read the other posts on Property Investing I wrote on finding good subdivision site criteria. And watch out for covenants on title. It might restrict development!
