When buying in a regional area, make sure there’s enough demand for both growth and rental. No point buying in a town of 50 people and speculate where there is no industry or infrastructure. It is important to know there are major retail players around for jobs, and potential for further
growth. If in a capital city, infrastructure is generally sufficient, however, make sure there is a strong demand, or potential for demand, to increase due to infrastructure around this.
