Invest in Houses or Units. Which is better

Depending on your investment strategy, it may be better to invest in one over the other.

Houses are always good for capital gain, as when you are buying a house, you will be purchasing the land. The land is the part that goes up in value, while the house on it will go down in value over time.

Typically with houses, the rental return compared to the purchase price is lower, meaning you may have to put more money in from your own pocket to keep the mortgage payments up.

With a unit, you will find the rental amount will almost cover, or will cover your mortgage repayments, making it a cheap investment. Units can also go up in value, but this depends on supply and demand. In all cases, when investing, you must do a lot of research before rushing into it.
