Hi Sean,
I agree that before you get started investing in the real estate market; you need to assess your current financial situation. You need to present yourself in the best possible situation to any financier that you want to secure financing from.
Then I think you do need to learn as much as you possibly can so that you can make the most of any investment trend. I think the growth strategy would have to be one investment trend that I really like.
Talking with peers is also a good way to find out more info…for example my fiend lives at Scarborough Beach..known as Scabs…his unit is around 600K, the suburbs either side of him are valued around 1.2M….mmmm…food for thought. Word of caution… always look at the source of the info and do more research
Knowing the real estate trends is definitely a good way to be a successful property investor. I just find it difficult to really figure out the trend, but that is probably due to a lack of information and practise
