Wherever you decide to invest you need to research certain aspects of that particular market,
such as:

• What Industries support the region? ie is it a one horse town?
• What are the market values for the different types of properties in the different parts of the
• region? Learn the values one suburb at a time.
• What are the good streets & what are the bad streets? Know what makes them good and bad
• so you can watch for changing factors over time.
• What are rental returns for the different types of properties in the different suburbs?
• What are the capitalisation rates for the different types of properties in the different suburbs?
• What is the tenant pool for the area, and what sort of properties are they looking for?
• Build a relationship with your key team members, particularly Valuers and Real Estate Agents.
