Why Australia?

Value for money, tax efficiency and a consistently steady market are all factors in the growing popularity of owning a residential investment property in Australia.

The economy is strong and the AU dollar continues to make ground overseas, diverse trading environment, significant internal growth leading to substantial public and private spending on infrastructure, which in turn creates a demand for people, who need accommodation and the chain begins to unravel.

Within Australia, there are some 900,000 people looking to buy an investment property as of March 2007. 

Australian residential rental property investment has statistically been excellent and shows no sign of a demise. Whilst over the last 30 years there has been the usual cyclical aspect, growth of some 700% + is very typical across the capital cities over this period.

Australia is a very tax efficient, secure and a very stable environment with transparent policies - you can have full ownership, as a foreigner, on new properties and visit frequently with little inconvenience or bureaucracy.
