I definitely think that an apartment in the suburbs of a big city or a international REIT are the best options. Or perhaps pick a city, read up on future developments that are planned there and position yourself close to large retail and business developments. Although maybe look at other investments, property doesn't really create wealth, it just benefits off the increasing demand for housing. You'll make money for sure, but be mindful, many young people like myself are stuck, we find it hard it own a home in home town due to over investment in the areas we grew up in and want to live. It's pretty anti-social in many ways. I feel investment in property is quite divisive. I'm not some long haired socialist either, I'm a 32 year old working in computing for a while. I just don't have a stockpile of wealth. I also have no debt and good credit, but getting a mortgage for $400k+ is outside my capacity. I think a decent investment option are cloud computing based ETFs, they have decent returns, and are essentially a 'tax' that is levied on some of the largest internet companies. Just a thought.
