Growth as long as the rental yield mostly covers the repayments

Definitely capital growth, if you can afford it, yes it may cost you more to keep initially as you will have to top up the repayments ( even with negative gearing ) but long term it will be a better investment and you can use the equity to buy more property to fund your retirement - in Sydney rents can't keep up with house prices so the return is very low but obviously our capital growth is fantastic!

Growth for sure, I look at it as a long term investment. We where just discussing this today trying to figure out where to buy next. Not Sydney.

We are thinking Adelaide or rural NSW.
One town has rental yield of 7.97% but only 2.36% annual average growth, although some houses have sold for 5x the original price in last 10 years.
The other has rental yield of 6.83% and 5.59% average annual growth.

Id say growth but you also need at least half decent rent too.
The growth needs to cover the cost of the following just to break even:
- capital gains tax
- stamp duty
- costs associate with selling the house
- top ups on the mortgage above the rent
- maintenance, rates, insurance, etc
Sorry if I'm stating the obvious! I've just seen so many people get burned when it comes to investing in rental properties.

Yep it certainly does but it's just city properties grow a lot more - say for example ten years ago in our suburb in Sydney the median house price was $550,000 it's now $1,475,000 whereas say in Dubbo (NSW) ten years ago the median price was $350,000 and now it's $430,000
