What you will learn

Four things to understand before you start the lessons.

01
Suburb selection criteria

Population growth, infrastructure pipeline, vacancy rates, rental yield, and median price trends.

02
Reading comparable sales

How to assess whether an asking price is fair using recent settled sales data.

03
The due diligence checklist

What to verify before making an offer — building and pest, strata reports, council zoning.

04
Negotiation basics

When to offer below asking, how to use conditions strategically, and what not to say.

The suburb scorecard

Score each suburb across six key factors before you inspect a single property.

🏆 Best suburbs share these traits: strong employment base, infrastructure under construction, population growth above state average, low vacancy rate under 2%, and a history of consistent capital growth.
3.2km
from a train station is the maximum for strong rental demand

Properties within 800m of a station command a 5–15% premium and have significantly lower vacancy rates. Infrastructure proximity is the strongest single predictor of long-term capital growth.
