I've been thinking about this over the last week or so. If most investment property held in QLD is from investors who hold property outside QLD, then rents will definitely rise substantially to offset the increase in costs. If however, the majority of investors only hold QLD property then rents should be stable but some extra properties will come onto the market as southern property owners look to offload non performing assets. This will be at a time when interest rates are still normalising and there are less buyers. March April May next year might be favorable to buy a first home in Queensland or an investment property. The closer to June 30 the greater the discount.
