a top location (because they think that&#8217;s the best place to buy an investment property) or find a property that will make a great investment.<\/p>\n<p>However, when you look at the results that most investors achieve by asking these types of questions, it makes little sense to think about property investment from this angle.<\/p>\n<div class=\"notes\">\n<div class=\"notes-inner\"><span

stay in the market, 92% never get past their first or second investment property.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>So if you want to outperform the average investor and develop <a href=\"https:\/\/propertyupdate.com.au\/17-steps-financial-freedom-property-investment\/\">financial freedom through property investing<\/a>, don\u2019t start by selecting a location, or looking for that ideal property.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how to do it instead.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"buying-property-as-an-investment\">Buying property as an investment<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You see\u2026property investing is a process, not an event.<\/p>\n<p>Things have to be done in the right order \u2013 and selecting the property comes right at the end of the process.<\/p>\n<p>The property you will eventually buy will be the result of a sequence of questions you will need to ask and answer and a series of decisions you\u2019ll need to make before you even start looking at locations.<\/p>\n<p>Long before we talk about a property or the right location with our clients at Metropole, we look at factors including their age, their timeframes, and the desired end results in other words, what do they really want the properties to do \u2013 are they looking for cash flow, capital growth, or <a href=\"https:\/\/propertyupdate.com.au\/why-capital-growth-beats-cash-flow-every-time\/\">a combination of both<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s because <a href=\"https:\/\/propertyupdate.com.au\/what-makes-an-investment-grade-property\/\">what makes a great investment property<\/a> for me, is not likely to be the same as what would suit your investment needs.<\/p>\n<p>So it all starts with helping our clients formulate a <a href=\"https:\/\/metropole.com.au\/strategic-property-plan\/\">Strategic Property Plan<\/a> which takes into account their surplus cash flow position, their risk profile (for example would they consider undertaking renovations or small development), whether they currently own a home or are wanting to buy a new home or upgrade their existing home in the future, if they are going to earn more income in the future, or if they\u2019re going to decrease their family income because they\u2019re having a baby, how many other investment properties they own, where they are located and how they are performing plus 35 other considerations.<\/p>\n<p>So my first recommendation to anyone asking where to invest is to sit with an independent property strategist to formulate their plan.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s just too difficult to do on your own and I\u2019ve found most investors tend to be too emotionally involved to see their situation objectively.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"the-benefits-of-formulating-such-a-plan-include\">The benefits of formulating such a plan include:<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>It will help you define your financial goals.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019ll discover whether your goals are realistic, especially for your time frame.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019ll find out what you\u2019ve done right and what you\u2019ve done wrong along your financial journey so far and what you can do about it.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019ll be able to measure your progress towards your goals and whether your property portfolio is working for you, or if you\u2019re working for it.<\/li>\n<li>Your plan will help you identify risks you hadn\u2019t thought of.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span

long-term debt reduction and\u2026<\/li>\n<li>A living off your property portfolio strategy<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>By following a documented plan, the real benefit is that you\u2019ll be able to <a href=\"https:\/\/propertyupdate.com.au\/how-to-build-a-property-portfolio-in-australia\/\">grow your wealth through your property portfolio<\/a> faster and more safely than the average investor, without making any more costly mistakes along the way.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"three-important-parts-of-your-investment-equation\">Three important parts of your investment equation<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you invest in property there are really only three major levers you can pull:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Your budget<\/strong> \u2013 and that is usually determined by the banks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Location<\/strong> and you can\u2019t afford to compromise on that.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>The <strong>right property<\/strong> in that location.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>And unless you have an unlimited budget, and that applies to very few of us, investors usually need to compromise on at least one of the above.<\/p>\n<p>But the question some potential investors are asking, now that our markets have moved to the next stage of the property cycle is: \u201cIs real estate still a good investment?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Well&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"were-in-for-a-2-tier-property-market-moving-forward\">We\u2019re in for a 2-tier property market moving forward<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Despite negative predictions, last year was an extraordinary year in the housing market \u2013 around 98% of locations around Australia recorded rising property values with many properties rising in value by more than 20%.<\/p>\n<p>Before COVID-19, the ABS valued Australia\u2019s residential property at $7.1 trillion. Today the ABS suggests the total valuation of Australia&#8217;s residential real estate is $10 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>To put it another way, the growth in property wealth in the past two years is higher than all the gains over the decade before COVID-19 (2010-2019) combined.<\/p>\n<p>But that was an extraordinary market \u2013 a once-a-generation property boom, and this year property markets are behaving differently.<\/p>\n<p>They are more fragmented. In other words, not all property markets will continue growing strongly moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>We have now entered the next phase of the property cycle, one where the market is cooling and prices are adjusting.<\/p>\n<p>And while property prices will correct in some locations, there will not be a property \u201ccrash\u201d as some commentators are predicting.<\/p>\n<p>For house prices to \u201ccrash\u201d, you need to have forced sellers and nobody there to buy their properties.<\/p>\n<p>This only happens at time of high unemployment, but currently anybody who wants a job to help to get a job and with rising wages, it\u2019s unlikely that we will see many distressed sellers forced to sell.<\/p>\n<p>At this stage of the cycle high-end properties tend to fall in value first, and that&#8217;s currently happening.<\/p>\n<p>And cheaper properties in the outer suburbs and some regional locations will also fall in value as wages growth in those areas has not kept up with the growth in the value of properties<\/p>\n<p>However, properties located in the inner and middle-ring suburbs of our big capital cities, particularly in gentrifying locations, should hold their own.\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-165301 img-responsive jetpack-lazy-image\"

suburban and more affordable end of the markets have performed strongly so far, affordability is now becoming an issue as the locals have had minimum little wage growth during the time when property prices have boomed.<\/p>\n<p>In these locations, the residents don&#8217;t have more money in their pay packet to pay the higher prices the properties are now achieving.<\/p>\n<p>More than that, Covid-19 has adversely affected low-income earners to a greater extent than middle and high-income earners who are likely to recover their income back to pre-pandemic levels more quickly, while many have not been hit at all.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"a-flight-to-quality\">A flight to quality<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now that the markets have entered a quieter phase and FOMO has disappeared, there is a flight to quality properties and an increased emphasis on liveability.<\/p>\n<p>As their priorities change, some buyers will be willing to pay a little more for properties with \u201cpandemic appeal\u201d and a little more space and security, but it won\u2019t be just the property itself that will need to meet these newly evolved needs \u2013 a \u201cliveable\u201d location will play a big part too.<\/p>\n<p>To many, liveability will mean a combination of:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Proximity<\/strong> \u2013 to things like parks, shops, amenities, and good schools<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mobility<\/strong> \u2013 access to good public transport (even though this may be less important moving forward) or a good road system<\/li>\n<li><strong>Access to jobs<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span id=\"what-makes-a-worthwhile-investment-property\">What makes a worthwhile investment property?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is very difficult to answer because it all depends upon you \u2013 what do you want out of your property investment?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s impossible to say this location is perfect for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>If you have been following my blogs, podcast, or videos you\u2019d know that I believe residential real estate is a high-growth, relatively low-yield investment and that\u2019s why I would only be looking for locations that are likely to outperform the averages with regard to capital growth the long term.<\/p>\n<p>But I do recognize that most investors need sufficient cash flow to service their debt, so yield is an important factor to be taken into account when choosing a location.<\/p>\n<p>When selecting a location, I would initially start by eliminating locations.<\/p>\n<p>For example, I would not be investing in regional Australia or in the smaller capital cities.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no doubt that some better-performing regional locations or certain suburbs in our small capital city will outperform the poorer-performing suburbs of our three big capital cities.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-155666 img-responsive

you should only consider investing in Australia\u2019s big three capital cities, I\u2019m also saying that it\u2019s important to be very selective in choosing suburbs in these cities \u2013 investment-grade suburbs that are likely to outperform.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than looking in the rear vision mirror at what has already happened, I look for leading indicators of what\u2019s likely to happen in the future.<\/p>\n<p>So I look for locations where there is going to be strong economic growth which will lead to wage growth and eventually population growth.<\/p>\n<p>But more than that I look for an affluent demographic who will be able to and prepared to, pay more to buy or rent in these suburbs.<\/p>\n<p>The fact is, I don\u2019t like to fight the big trends.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"why-fight-with-the-gorilla\">Why fight with the gorilla?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Other important drivers of capital growth include supply and demand, infrastructure, livability, and amenity.<\/p>\n<section id=\"image-carousel\" class=\"splide\" aria-label=\"Beautiful Images\"\/>\n<p>Over the years I\u2019ve noticed that experienced investors find it easier to choose a location \u2013 they\u2019re not as emotionally attached to locations, as they\u2019ve learned from their mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, many beginning investors want to invest close to where they live, in suburbs they\u2019re familiar with, or where they\u2019d like to holiday or eventually retire.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, these are emotional reasons to choose a location, rather than basing decisions on data.<\/p>\n<p>So the first question to ask yourself is:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>How far are you willing to invest from home?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Clearly the further you are prepared to consider the better your potential returns because you\u2019ll have the whole of Australia open to you but if you\u2019re only prepared to invest in your own backyard, your choices will be much more limited.<\/p>\n<p>While there are around 3,800 statistically reliable suburbs nationally, in my mind, very few of these make investment-grade suburbs; ones that will deliver wealth-producing rates of capital growth.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"how-to-choose-an-investment-property-in-australia\">How to choose an investment property in Australia?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I recommend looking for an area that has a long, proven history of strong capital growth and is likely to continue to outperform the averages.<\/p>\n<p>Now that\u2019s very different from a \u201chot spot\u201d or the next big thing many beginning investors chases.<\/p>\n<p>And as you dig into the data you\u2019ll find that not all land is created equal.<\/p>\n<p>Some suburbs will be more popular than others, some areas will have more scarcity than others and over time some land will increase in value more than others.<\/p>\n<p>And you\u2019ll find top performance has a lot to do with the demographics in the area.<\/p>\n<p>These suburbs tend to be those where a large number of owner-occupier&#8217;s desire to live because of lifestyle choices or the offer.<\/p>\n<p>I look for suburbs where wages (and therefore disposable income) are increasing above average.<\/p>\n<p>These will either be:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Discretionary locations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These are the most expensive locations in our capital cities \u2013 the \u201cestablished money\u201d locations where most of the residents have lived for a long time and where many residents have paid off their home loans years ago.<\/p>\n<p>In general, these locations are the established inner-ring suburbs of our capital cities or suburbs close to water.<\/p>\n<p>Over the long term, this segment of the market outperforms the other sectors.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, not everyone can afford to buy at this end of the market, so strategic investors often look to invest in\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Aspirational locations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These are the upper-middle-class areas and gentrifying locations of our big cities.<\/p>\n<p>These are the suburbs where many affluent millennials are aspiring to move as they enter the family formation stage of their lives.<\/p>\n<p>When this wealthier demographic moves into a suburb and this translates to being an area where locals are able to and prepared to pay a premium price to live there, putting a financial floor under your investment property.<\/p>\n<p>As you wander through these suburbs you\u2019ll see a changing neighbourhood with new developments and infrastructure improving the quality of services for the residents as well as driving economic and job growth.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, I would avoid investing in the more affordable locations as this end of the property market underperforms over the long term with regard to capital growth and rental growth because many of the owners are young families who have stretched themselves to their financial limits and are often only a week or two weeks away from broke.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"what-to-look-for-when-investing-in-property\">What to look for when investing in property?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If Covid-19 taught us anything, it was the importance of living in the right type of property in the right neighbourhood.<\/p>\n<p>In our new \u201cCovid Normal\u201d world, people will pay a premium for the ability to work, live and play within a 20-minute drive, bike ride or walk from home.<\/p>\n<p>They will look for things such as shopping, business services, education, community facilities, recreational and sporting resources, and some jobs all within 20 minutes reach.<\/p>\n<p>Residents of these neighbourhoods have now come to appreciate the ability to be out and about on the street socialising, supporting local businesses, being involved with local schools, and enjoying local parks.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s not only the location that\u2019s important.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-165484 img-responsive jetpack-lazy-image\"

that 80% of your property&#8217;s performance is related to its location, the other 20% or so is related to buying the right property in that location.<\/p>\n<p>Even in the best suburbs, there are some properties I would avoid \u2013 they just don\u2019t make good investments and others I would be keen to have in my portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>In general, there are <strong>3 types of property.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>A-Grade homes<\/strong> and \u201cinvestment grade\u201d properties are the type of assets you want to own, and the type of properties were great tenants want to live, not because they need to, but because they want to and are prepared to pay extra to live there.<br \/>These are not just houses but also family-friendly apartments in great neighbourhoods.<\/li>\n<li><strong>B-grade properties<\/strong> still have a lot going for them, and during hot property markets like we are currently experiencing they still perform well, but their second location within their suburb or the less-than-perfect attributes of these properties mean they will slump more in downtimes when buyers and tenants are more choosey.<\/li>\n<li><strong>C-grade properties<\/strong> \u2013 these are to be avoided unless they\u2019re in a great neighbourhood and your intention is to demolish the property and replace it with something more appropriate for the location.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Here are some of the factors to look for when selecting an investment-grade property:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>I\u2019m a big believer in buying property below its intrinsic value<\/em> <\/strong>\u2013 that\u2019s why I avoid new and off-the-plan properties, which generally attract a premium price tag.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>I also look for properties with a high Land to Asset ratio<\/em> <\/strong>&#8211; but remember apartments have an attributable land value underneath them.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>I love properties with a twist. Your investment must have something unique, special, different, or scarce<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 some \u2018X-factor\u2019 that makes it stand out from its neighbours \u2013 in order to land on my shortlist.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And for those who can afford it, I\u2019d recommend buying a property where they can manufacture capital growth through renovations or redevelopment.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than asking where should I invest or what sort of property should I buy, the questions you should be asking are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What do I want to achieve from my property portfolio?<\/li>\n<li>What do I need to do to get those results? And\u2026<\/li>\n<li>Who do I need on my team to help me achieve the financial freedom I want with minimal risk?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span id=\"top-investment-property-locations-in-australia\">Top investment property locations in Australia<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As I said above, if you want to outperform the average investor and develop financial freedom through property investing, you shouldn\u2019t start by looking for the best place to buy an investment property, or looking for an ideal property.<\/p>\n<p>What have deemed the best places to buy an investment property in Australia, or the best places to invest in Australia don\u2019t necessarily make the best investment decision?<\/p>\n<p>Because remember, not all properties will make investment-grade properties, and even within so-called \u2018investment suburbs\u2019 there will still be certain locations that must be avoided and other neighbourhoods which will outperform.<\/p>\n<p>At Metropole, we know that every client has unique circumstances, goals and aspirations and there is never a blanket approach to investing:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>And because of this I do not believe in hotspots or investing in an area just because it is expected to be the \u201cNext Best Thing\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cHot-spots\u201d tend to be \u201cnot-spots\u201d and I\u2019m a long-term investor, meaning I take calculated risks, I do not gamble.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>So instead, I\u2019ve put together a list that will serve as a useful guide for any investor looking for long term growth.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Here are the top 5 suburbs in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane which could be considered good investment suburbs for some investors.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-165485 img-responsive jetpack-lazy-image\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.propertyupdate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/suburbs2.jpg\" alt=\"Suburbs2\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.propertyupdate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/suburbs2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cdn.propertyupdate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/suburbs2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.propertyupdate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/suburbs2-600x338.jpg 600w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.propertyupdate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/suburbs2.jpg?is-pending-load=1\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\"\/><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-165485 img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.propertyupdate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/suburbs2.jpg\" alt=\"Suburbs2\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.propertyupdate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/suburbs2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cdn.propertyupdate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/suburbs2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.propertyupdate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/suburbs2-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s because they each fit my criteria:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Being within 15km of the CBD<\/li>\n<li>Exceeding the Australian median weekly household income of $1,164.60, suggesting they all have an above-average household and disposable income.<\/li>\n<li>Having a DSR Score (Demand Supply Ratio) of Good or Above Average<\/li>\n<li>Having a population in excess of 6,500<\/li>\n<li>Being \u2018Very Walkable\u2019 with a Walk Score of 70+<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I\u2019ll remind you that these aren\u2019t suburbs where every investor should invest for fail-safe long-term growth &#8211;
