This website last updated on 16 Sep 2017 is linked to a personal blog and covers Investing in Residential Real Estate in Australia. It is dedicated to my adult kids and the many small scale Mum & Dad Investors. Based on my 20+ years layman's experience I share what I regard as the best approach based on trial and error and heaps of hours spent on the internet. Commercial real estate is generally more risky and as a layman I have burned my fingers in a multi million dollar syndicated property development enterprise. Eventually I did recover my money and I am indebted to FOS for making this happen, but the opportunity costs where mine to bear. As a blogger I cover positive as well as negative experiences. I have gone to many free seminars and they offer valuable information together with significant levels of hype and a very seductive sales pitch at the end. Expect to get a "one day only offer" of a $6k+ guru training course with freebies in excess of $6k. This will work on your emotions and you better be sure that your course is a good fit for you. Go online before you sign up or leave your credit cars at home. If you miss out, be sure there will always be another opportunity - don't let them lie to you. Some providers give you a money back guarantee, but others don't. I don't sign up for free guru training seminars any more these days but do recommend the local investors club (see below). Among the pro's in property investment Dymphna Boholt remains my favorite. While not without controversy she does offers the best value for money I recon and she is truly competent and has gathered a significant fan club that is willing to help. Learn more about me here.

Intro to PROPERTY INVESTING IN AUSTRALIA
I recommend that investors looking at Australian properties consider browsing free information and resources first, such as investor magazines and newspaper columns by Hotspotting Guru Terry Rider and Property Strategist Michael Matusik . Australia has a robust population growth of 1.4% ( long term ca 300 kpa mainly due to migration) that drives GDP proportionally. Australia has a small refugee intake with a closed border policy. Hence Long term job growth and population growth is robust, but Fertility rates at 1.8% fall short of the the replacement rate of 2.1% (1.86 births per woman 2014). NSW has the most relaxed dual occupancy regulations (Granny flats without a Granny) in Australia. When you invest the most important assets are knowledge and tools. If you prefer using free seminars to gain knowledge be aware that you may be getting targeted to buy that too good to resist property. But if you use the best in tools you can beat the crowds and avoid emotional bias in your property purchases. Free tools such as Property Search Engine Mitula will not be able to match the value of a paid membership site.

The Australian property market remains robust and possibly overvalued in part. It appears to have not yet reached peak levels (July 2017) and moderate growth is still forecast for Melbourne and Sydney. Opportunities for growth are expected elsewhere. Robust performance is driven by low interest rates, population growth and a solidly performing economy. While Australian Household debt is high, Household wealth exceeds debts & many Australians have acquired an investment property.
