    I think Adelaide might be able to get you biggest bang for budget. If I was on that budget, that's most likely where I'd be looking and I'd stick to houses as much as possible as long as the demographic supports that too.

    Look for posts from @D.T. & @Corey Batt, they've written up good summaries of areas in ADL.

    That budget gets you into family sized houses in a few areas over here.

    SA - Outer Southern Suburbs Adelaide Summary

    SA - Salisbury LGA Summary

    These two threads will cover off on the area's DT is referring too, enjoy. :)

    It'd probably be good to pick David's brain on that sort of price range, he's got a lot of experience in both those markets and Adelaide property in general.

    You could also look at the Ipswich area in Queensland. Can still get a house there for that sort of cash in a good location.

    Hello. I do agree. Many people who ask me where to buy at the moment. As I do have over 18 properties. My main strategy was to buy under 300k. Best bet would be Queensland, same as what Mick mentioned. Better for your money and population is near the 15% per annum. So you hope for this to go in value over time. Plus billions worth of transport infrastructure planned for future. So the government wouldn't spend this, if they think the population wouldn't grow to push property prices up. Plus don't forget yield. Can rent better than other areas. I am looking at these areas myself.

    If you don't want to look at queensland and maybe Sydney, Sydney region. I am looking at the Entrance at the moment and Central Coast. Still some around this price. Again you need to do your due diligence
