Australian Historical Real Estate facts
Overseas Investor
There are several compelling reasons why it is a smart move to invest in Australian property:

• A freehold, secure title.
• Opportunity to achieve Capital Gains.
• A reasonable deposit is all that is needed to enter the market.
• Banks are strict in who they lend to, unlike the USA.
• As owner, you can control many aspects of the investment.
• There is a ready and increasing supply of quality tenants.
• There is fair landlord/tenant legislation - the "sitting tenant" concept is virtually unheard of.
• There are exceptional tax benefits.
• You can "add value" as the property ages, increasing dramatically the market price.
• You don't have to watch it every day. It needs very little monitoring. There are professional Property Managers.
• You do not need to actually sell to get your money out.
• Unlike shares, it is much harder to make a truly poor direct property investment, which decimates your capital.
• Virtually all banks accept property for security.
• Real Estate is a necessity, people need shelter, and they need someone to provide it.
• There has been enormous demand in the past, and there will be huge and continuing future demand.
