The $700K Property Investment Showdown: 5 Cities, 1 Winner (2025 Analysis)

I'm breaking down EXACTLY where to invest your first $700K in 2025 - and why everyone telling you to "start with a unit" is setting you up for failure.

Look, I get it. Your parents, your broker, even your friends are pushing you toward that affordable apartment. But here's the brutal truth - units deliver 2-5% growth while houses in the RIGHT cities are hitting double digits.

This episode is my no-BS breakdown of:
✅ Why Brisbane's Olympic hype won't save lower socio-economic suburbs
✅ Perth's missed opportunity - you're 5 years too late to the party
✅ Adelaide's market collapse warning signs (49/100 crime rates!)
✅ Melbourne's blue-chip advantage - 20 years of consistent growth
✅ Darwin's explosive 31% annualised growth (but there's a catch)

Key suburbs revealed:
Brisbane: Woodridge vs Deception Bay ($724K reality check)
Perth: Thornlie's family-friendly goldmine at $700K
Melbourne: Craigieburn's 9% annualised growth story
Darwin: Durack's 6%+ yields in the next boom market
