Property, esp in growth areas - the city or the coast. Land value won't suddenly drop like shares can, plus you're earning a few hundred per week just for owning it. Put the rent collected into one of those special savings accounts where you get heaps of interest for depositing lots and not withdrawing any.

I would not invest in strata real estate at the moment, prices are dropping rapidly as supply vastly exceeds demand and some apartments are so shoddily built that in 10 they will continue to decrease in value (Harry Trigaboff is notorious for poor quality apartments).

Truly the best way to make money is to diversify your portfolio, people think property is the best option but there is no way that anyone here would be able to service a good loan, even if they have the capital for a substantial deposit. Plus there is no way you can find a positively geared property in the city, which means you lose money until you sell the property or pay most of it off and with the property market set to burst it's debatable even how much capital gains there is to be made. Plus if you dont live in the property for a substantial period of time you have to pay capital gains taxes which essentially takes away half of your profit.

not many people have 500k, unless a relative just died or they just got a compensation payout.

for $200,000 u can buy a small piece of land in a developing suburb and put a cheap as chips house on it... which is what most developers have kinda been doing for ages now, cept the bubble is starting to... deflate.
