Selecting the right location is one of the most important decisions for property investors. A well-chosen suburb can significantly impact rental income, capital growth, and tenant demand. Here are some key factors to consider:

1. Rental Demand
Research areas with strong rental demand. Look for suburbs with low vacancy rates and a consistent flow of tenants seeking long-term rentals.

2. Local Amenities
Proximity to schools, transport, shopping, and recreational facilities makes a property more attractive to tenants and can justify higher rental rates.

3. Growth Potential
Analyse historical and projected capital growth. Suburbs with planned infrastructure, development, or urban renewal projects often offer better long-term returns.

4. Demographic Fit
Consider the tenant demographic likely to rent in the area—families, young professionals, or students—and choose a property that meets their needs.

5. Risk Assessment
Evaluate risks such as oversupply, fluctuating demand, or market volatility. Balancing potential returns with stability is key for a successful investment.
