Why invest before migrating to Australia?

If you have made the decision to migrate, it makes sense to purchase an Australian investment property whilst you are still employed in your own country. Finance will be easier to obtain and by having a property in Australia, your application for Permanent Residence is assisted because you show a connection to Australia even before you migrate.

You also have a home to which you can move into upon immediate arrival in Australia saving you wasted rental expenses. You can then live in your investment as your permanent residence (tax benefits) whilst you and your family explore your chosen State and decide which neighbourhood you want to settle in.

RPIA can then assist with building or purchasing your own home and letting out your investment home. Even if you choose to live and work in a different State from your investment it makes sense to make the purchase before arriving in Australia.
