If you find yourself priced out of your desired location, there are still a number of ways to break into the property market – all it takes is a little compromise.
Rent: Renting in your ideal suburb will can give you a feel for the area and give you an idea as to whether it is worth the money to live there.
Surrounding suburbs: If the prices in the areas neighbouring your ideal location are increasing at slower rate, this can indicate heightened growth in the future, making for an effective investment.
Start small: If location is your priority, consider starting in a smaller property. As your equity builds over time, you could refinance your home loan or sell your smaller property to purchase the home of your dreams.
Invest: Buying an investment property can help you on your way to affording your dream home. Provided you choose the right home and property manager, you could receive a profitable income through rent payments and capital gains, allowing you to purchase your ideal home in the future.
