Ar Portfolios we scour the entire Australian property investment market, and will be bringing some properties in other areas soon.

In selecting these properties only properties scoring more than 15 out of 20 even make our short list, with the majority of our offering being 18 or above.

When we show you Queensland’s benefits, perhaps you might ask yourself – when looking at your potential investment – whether the area you are investing in stacks up.
What About Queensland?
The real Gross Domestic Product growth in Queensland is the highest in the country. When placed on the international stage, GDP in Queensland even out performs global competitors like UK, USA and Japan. This is staggering for one state. Much of this is on the back of the resources sector but there is also heavy expenditure right across the state in infrastructure.
Following on from above, Queensland is home to the largest public infrastructure spending program in Australia’s history. You only have to take a drive through Brisbane to see the massive expenditure taking place, but outside of the metro areas ports, roads and rail are being constantly upgraded to meet the growing market.
Queensland is home to a growing young and entrepreneurial workforce fueled by numerous world-class educational institutions. In step with this is Australia’s fastest growing consumer market, being buoyed by the relatively young affluent population. Not to be outdone many parts of Queensland are experience growth in the retirement market with favourable climate and low cost of living.
In terms of trade and economy, Queensland has the 2nd highest number of international arrivals into Australia behind Sydney. The East Coast now known as Australia’s trade coast – connects Queensland to global markets (through many ports including Gladstone, Cairns) There are over 127,000 businesses and the number is growing daily.
Queensland has been ranked by KPMG as one of the world’s mos cost-competitive locations. With the fastest growing population in Australia – major domestic inward migration – as well as from outside Australia, it is unlikely property prices will stop growing in the near future.
So there you have it – we believe Queensland is a great market for property investors. We encourage you to consider your next investment in Queensland and as always are happy to discuss your unique requirements and investment strategy to help your investment property portfolio grow.

Queensland – The Property Investment Hotspots
With all the talk once again of flattening markets in Australian cities astute property investors are looking to regional Australia, Queensland in particular, and with good reason.
There are plenty of opportunities to be found in regional Australia particularly in the resource rich state of Queensland where the mining boom is being re-born in towns where property values are still affordable.
I seriously think we might be staring at another Karratha in the Darling Downs and around service ports like Gladstone. Karratha is a mining town in northern WA wher the property market soared almost overnight due to the intense mining boom of the last decade. Average properties became million dollar hotspots and rents went from average to exorbitant in a short space of time.
The best part of the Darling Downs and Surat Basin area is that property prices are still reasonable and the large projects for the region are starting .It is a case of strike while the iron is hot and this one is hot.
The government and private sector have committed to investing over $10bn in infrastructure which will on its own create significant demand for housing and rental accommodation.
We mentioned in the last newsletter that the largest company to company deal Australia has ever seen has been signed between a Chinese resource company and an British mining company based in Queensland that will see Liquid Natural Gas exported from the Surat Basin to China over the next 20 years.
Putting the Darling Downs aside there’s Gladstone, and surrounding local region, already a strong infrastructure hub set to receive billions of dollars of investment on top of that invested in the last few years in new industry, mining and infrastructure.
Coming back to something more predictable are the growth spots in SE Brisbane. Brisbane and the Gold Coast is the fastest growing population centre in Australia. Areas such as Coomera north west on the Gold Coast Hinterland is a great investment.
Portfolios has property available in all these areas, ask us about places like Chinchilla, Dalby, Kingaroy or Gladstone, Calliope or Coomera. Properties like these ones present a great investment opportunity to enhance any portfolio. We already have clients snapping up these properties sometimes multiples of them.
You can see some of these properties in our Featured Properties section or ask us about other opportunities for you.
The team look forward to working with you to… Make it Happen
