The Reserve Bank of Australia has raised the official interest rate to 0.35 per cent, slightly higher than expected. Those who read our research will know that we have been predicting this rise. Now that it has occured, our focus is on buying opportunities. 

In real estate, you make money when you buy. Any slowdown this year will be an opportunity to add to your portfolio. So where are these opportunities?

Canberra may not be the first city to come to mind when you think of buying an investment property, but the fact is, it ticks a lot of boxes when it comes to picking an investment opportunity providing high yield investment opportunities and high cashflow.

Over the past two years, Canberra has outperformed many other capital cities in Australia in terms of growth and return on property prices and the rental income of units in Canberra has grown by more than 10%. In other markets – even Sydney and Melbourne – rental income has not increased as much as in Canberra.

Anticipating yesterday's rise, our Marketing Manager Carolina Costa spoke with Kej Kulane, Senior Investment Specialist at Wealthi, and asked him where is he seeing the best investment opportunities at the moment. 

In this quick video, Kej shares valuable information and data to help investors gain further insights into today's market.
