    Hey Guys
    Anyone investing in the above area or anywhere near? Found a few cracking properties for sub 250k 6.5% rental yeild, 3 bedroom. Im in the game for long term, so does anyone see any sit and hold potential?

    I forgot to add aswell it is a detached terrace. Is the growth potential still available sitting on a small sized lot? Unsure of the size yet.

    Why upper Burnie? Do you live in the area?
    I spent some time there when I was a kid. All i remember is that the economy in Burnie always seemed to be pretty bad.
    What does the demographic picture look like? Is the population aging, growing?
    What percentage of the population is dependent on centrelink?

    I would suggest you look a little further South at Launceston & Hobart as much better long term prospects there and you can find the same as what you described-just arguably in a better city.

    Devonport CBD has very affordable house prices with the potential to increase a lot in the next 10 years. Only 260 median price. Surrounding suburbs median house prices are larger, and this is not the case in Launceston or Hobart. Long term capital growth potential I believe
