Real Estate Opportunity Down Under - But Only If You Are Quick

By Alanan Redmanan

Being the world's seventh largest country, Australia is a fantastic opportunity for 'Real Estate' investment. High demand in cities such as Brisbane, Melbourne and Sidney for residential homes is still on the increase.

Both nationals and foreigners are keen on purchasing 'Holiday Homes'. Renting this type of property when not in use can provide a very healthy rental income for the owner. New vacation apartments are also being built to meet the demand. Every year even more people visit Australia for either short or long term breaks.

Commercial property is also a favourable investment. Either for rent or sale, commercial property is always in high demand. In many of the major cities, Europeans can be found investing in both commercial and business properties.

Either through short term trading or rental income, a tremendous gain can be made through commercial property, vacation homes or residential property.

Permanent residents are only allowed to purchase property in Australia. Permission from the Australian Government must be obtained by all foreigners wanting to invest in any kind of 'Real Estate'. Obtaining permission is a simple but sometimes lengthy process.

It is always wise to choose a 'Real Estate' Agent who is local to the area in which you have decided to buy. Having an agent who knows the area can be supremely beneficial. Choosing the right agent can make finding, and purchasing 'Real Estate' a breeze.

Many 'Real Estate' companies team up with conveyancing solicitors. Costly mistakes are much less likely to happen if solicitors and other professionals are involved in the sale.

When purchasing 'Real Estate' property in Australia there are always certain taxes to be paid. Consulting a 'Real Estate' agent is always best when it concerns these costs.

There are still many fantastic opportunities to be had even though many Australians and foreigners have already been lured into the Australian Property market. - 29955
