    Hi I'm a newbie

    Wish I found this forum 5 years ago

    Got 2 IPs, one in Bentleigh and the other in Melton Victoria . Looking at purchasing a 3rd one that's positively geared , still torn on location, considering low entry points, Ballarat, Bucchus Marsh or Melton South.
    Any advice most welcome.

    Strategy is have a few for capital gains and a few for cash flow.
    Also looking at setting up a trust, unsure how it will work with the properties that I have bought outside the trust

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Geemas,
    Welcome to the forum.
    If you are interested in getting to know some of us a bit better, we regularly have a bit of a get together. Melbourne East group meets on the 2nd tuesday each month at a suburban pub, the next one will be on 14th June, probably in Fairfield. Melbourne West meet at different times.
    Full details are posted here Networking & Meetups

    There is no cost (other than optional meal or drink) and no agenda, just come along and chat to other property people.

    What is going for these areas? Is there rental demand or are these mostly owner occupiers?

    Hi Monalisa
    It's rental demand yield currently 6%,
    Any suggestions of any other locations with a good yield would prefer 7% and a good rental demand?
