Understanding the dynamics of regional areas in Australia can offer lucrative opportunities for investors.

Understanding the dynamics of regional areas in Australia can offer lucrative opportunities for investors.

In this episode of the Defence Property Podcast, co-hosts Liam Garman and Discover Buyers Agency’s Kane Dury sit down with Morgan Oliver, director and sales agent of JMO Property Group, to unpack the ins and outs of property investment in the town of Gatton.

Gatton, in regional Queensland, is poised for economic growth with major infrastructure projects underway, such as a medium-security prison and a high-speed rail, creating thousands of stable government jobs, which the trio highlight as appealing for property investors.

The group also discusses how investors in the defence sector can focus on regional areas to grow their portfolio by buying property at each posting, leveraging grants like Home Purchase Assistance Scheme (HPAS) and Defence Home Ownership Assistance Scheme (DHOAS) to gain financial benefits, and then rent-vest to foster cash flow and long-term portfolio growth.
