Location Hotspots vii.Re-sale Market Performance

Hi Stewart This is my wife's home town and we looked into BTL here a year or so ago. One of the biggest off-putting factors for us was the very high purchase costs - it worked out at around 12% of the purchase price! As for cap growth, the big rises really happened a little while back now and prices are fairly static, I understand; but Port Adelaide is a potential high growth area long term - big area of rejuvenation. BTL products are available and the Australian market is v familiar with the whole concept. Rental markets vary locally, so require some research. cheers Robin

Thanks Robin, 12%, ouch!!! Will check out port Adelaide. Stewart.
