It will take me 10 years to save for the next property. - What kind of property (house, apartment or other) will yield the best rental income? - Do you think the number of properties matters compared to the overall investment portfolio? I could have one house in Sydney with a $1 million debt, which will appreciate more than three units incurring the same debt elsewhere in Australia.
