Adelaide Property Market – is it the poor Uncle?

The Adelaide market, tends to increase at a steady pace, with consistent growth each year of around 2-4% (on average). Adelaide puts on a good show on why Adelaide isn't the poor uncle. Buying in Adelaide should be dependent on your property portfolio strategy. There is a very good chance it's won't be your first best option.

What is Rentvesting?

The old, buy where you can afford and live where you can’t. The no strings attached. The liberation of not being tied to a specific address. Creating a home, without the home ownership. This rentvesting. You rent out your place of ownership and then also rent. This provides you with more living option, saving options, and balancing your financials situation for a longer term gain.

Spring into Sydney. Smell the Roses, but Do Your Homework

Sydney auction clearance rate is slightly down. But before we make assumptions that the Sydney market isn’t performing as well as it was, take note of the increase in the number of properties listed and the fact that there are less buyers in the market. And don't take notice of everything you see and read. Do your homework and discern between what's media smoke / speculation and what is actual fact. Stay away from regional areas unless you have done a very thorough investigation, and more so if this is your firs property investment.

You may be playing the 'tax element', but it can work more against you then for you.
