Is there a perfect recipe for successful property investment? You could debate the details, but nobody would argue about the most important ingredient: time.
Time can erase mistakes, transform your cashflow and lower your loans. It can also turn a cheap house into a valuable piece of real estate – especially if you choose a high-growth area.
Experienced investors often use infrastructure and development spending as a way to identify the places most likely to grow over the next 10 to 20 years.
Infrastructure has a cause and effect relationship with a growing area, because it’s both fuelled by an expanding population and simultaneously encourages it to keep growing.
Harcourts CEO Chris Kennedy said that infrastructure creates a population bubble.
“It creates employment and it creates the magical dollar to evolve a community quickly. The generation and regeneration of that dollar create growth and confidence.
“I would invest in areas that were investing heavily in infrastructure and growth: what I would call population investment.”
But, following Budget 2017, which regions could see the long-term benefits of a cash influx – thanks to infrastructure development?
