There are just two months to go before the end of this financial year. Time is running out to make your real estate investment purchase. Never rush a property purchase. Instead, sort out your finance and start looking at suitable properties, especially if you want to purchase before the end of the financial year. This is particularly the case for first time investors.

People always ask me to give them a tip as to “the best place in Perth to invest.Unfortunately, there is no answer to this question.. Your budget and goals will dictate what kind of investment property is best for you.. What is the key focus? Is it rental returns, land prices, capital growth, development opportunities or tax deductions?? Ask yourself how long you are willing to keep this investment?
There really is no such thing as “the best place to invest”, what matters is that you follow “the best ways to invest”. That means getting competent financial advice from professionals to determine your budget and your loan, and then talk to some REIWA agents about opportunities in the areas that suit your portfolio plan.
