Mining towns and regional centres heavily reliant upon the resources sector are sick and dying, and here is why. Small development strategies can create considerable equity and passive income. DESPERATELY SEEKING!! An economist who understands residential real estate. South East Queensland is hot property for 2015, but Logan City is coming up as the star performer. Over many years of researching outperforming areas, the Hotspotting team has found that the common denominators of most good growth areas are affordable real estate, good infrastructure and proximity to major jobs nodes. Investors shouldn't have to choose between their investment having good Cash Flow or good Capital Growth. The right property should provide both. Journalists and many others have been reporting incorrectly regarding First Home Buyers and how "The Great Australian Dream is Dead". The Australian Bureau of Statistics that it has been grossly under-estimating the number of first-home buyers in the market. A NAB survey adds to the mounting pile of evidence that ABS data on first-home buyers is wrong. First-time buyers are much more active in the market that ABS figures suggest. Media places undue emphasis on month-to-month statistics, with the market boom one month, declining the next, and re-booming the one following. The outcome for consumers is confusion and misinformation. Rents have fallen in many city markets in the past 12 months, and showed no annual change in others, proving once again that claims of housing shortages are false.
