    Hey everyone, thought I would finally make an introduction post because I am really enjoying the forum!

    Over the last few months I've been addicted to reading about property investing, and I now know that this is something I am seriously keen to get into.

    I am a 26 year old guy from Adelaide, about to join the army in January, and I will most likely will be moving to Townsville (as far as I know). I'd like to try get to know anyone else from Adelaide or Townsville to seek advice from.

    Once I have saved enough dough and built up some decent knowledge, my plan is to buy a cheap house, renovate and then rent it out for a higher price than before and hold. Probably keep doing stuff like that till I build up a little portfolio.

    So far I've read over and over my book 'dummies guide to property investing', a book by John Lindeman which seems decent.. I also like the Property Couch on YouTube. If anyone can recommend a book on the way property markets actually work in detail that would be awesome.

    If you read this then thanks!
    Catcha soon :)

    Hi and welcome, fellow Adelaidean.

    I'd probably avoid the Lindeman stuff to be honest.

    Welcome, come to a meetup and say hi. You will probably get more from those few hours than 6 months of spruiker seminars
