Looking to buy your first home, an investment property or a place to raise a family, but don't know where to buy? Keen to get the best long-term value on your investment, but don't have the time or knowledge to do the exhaustive research required? Wanting the latest insider information on a chosen suburb, but don't know where to find it?

In this handy portable guide, Peter 'The Property Professor' Koulizos takes readers through the 107 Australian suburbs that offer the best return on investment, helping to take the guesswork out of finding the right location for your investment.

Presented in an easy-to-read format, and with a focus on up-and-coming suburbs, The Property Professor's Top Australian Suburbs profiles each suburb's features and explains just why it is worth buying into. Inside you'll discover:

* the areas in each suburb that have the best (and worst) capital growth potential;
* each suburb's types and styles of housing;
* the properties that have the best renovation potential;
* local and state government plans for improving the suburb and/or surrounding areas.


If you're looking to buy or invest, but can't decide where and don't want to pay a fortunes, this is the book for you!
