At Walshs, we’re all about helping you make smart financial moves that build long-term wealth. And for many Australians, one of the biggest steps on that journey is buying property – whether it’s a place to call home or a strategic investment.
To cut through the noise and boost your confidence, we partnered with PMC Property Buyers to create a down-to-earth, insight-rich video on the Brisbane property market.
In the video, our financial advisers Daniel James and Tyson Rech team up with James from PMC to explore everything from investment-grade suburbs and price points to key suburb features – plus, Daniel and Tyson break down the finance side, explaining why the right loan structure really matters.
If buying residential property in Brisbane is on your radar, this is a must-watch to help you make confident, informed decisions.
Investment-Grade Locations in Brisbane
Choosing the right location is crucial when investing in property. The video highlights key Brisbane suburbs that offer strong investment potential, catering to both first-time buyers and seasoned investors. These suburbs have been identified based on historical growth trends, lifestyle benefits, and future development prospects.
Understanding the demand drivers in these areas – such as proximity to employment hubs, public transport, schools, and lifestyle amenities – can help investors make confident property purchases. The suburbs discussed in the video provide a mix of affordability, capital growth potential, and desirability for owner-occupiers and tenants alike.
Price Points: Finding the Right Investment Fit
A key factor in property investment is determining your budget and finding suburbs that align with your financial position. The video explores three price brackets:
- $650K – $800K: Suitable for entry-level investors or those looking to purchase a home in an emerging suburb with good growth potential.
- $800K – $1M: A mid-tier bracket offering a balance between affordability and high-quality locations.
- $1M – $1.2M: Premium investment options in sought-after suburbs with established growth histories and strong long-term prospects.
Each price range presents different opportunities, and understanding what you can afford AND what you’re getting for your money – is a critical step in the property investment journey.
Understanding Suburb Characteristics
Beyond price, it’s important to assess the characteristics of each suburb to determine its investment potential. The video provides insights into:
- Historical growth trends: Tracking how property values have changed over time can indicate a suburb’s resilience and potential for future appreciation.
- Demographics and lifestyle: Different suburbs attract different types of residents. Whether a location appeals to young professionals, families, or retirees can influence rental demand and resale value.
- Infrastructure and amenities: Access to schools, healthcare facilities, shopping centres, and public transport all contribute to a suburb’s desirability and long-term investment appeal.
The Importance of the Right Loan Structure
Getting the right loan structure is just as critical as choosing the right property. In the video, we highlight the key factors to consider when setting up your home loan, including:
- The pros and cons of different loan types (like fixed vs. variable rates)
- Smart strategies to boost cash flow and maximise tax benefits
- Why your loan structure should be tailored to your unique financial situation
Working with a financial adviser can help you determine the best loan setup based on your goals, whether you’re purchasing your first home or expanding your investment portfolio.
