Hey guys Ryan here from Onproperty and this episode I'm going to show exactly how to find
out where the public housing is in any area, so if you're looking at investing in an area
whether it be locally or whether it be inter-state where ever it maybe you're going to want find
out exactly where the public housing is.
Public housing generally leads to cheaper properties it can lead to higher rental yields
but it can also mean more potential difficulties with tenants or with the property in general.
So we want to know where the public housing is in an area and I'm going to show you how
to find that today.
We're going to be using a tool called ripehouse which is an advanced search tool and so far
the only way that I know or have ever found out that this is possible.
If you want to check out ripehouse go through my affiliate link at onproperty.com.au/house
and you can check out that tool, sign up for a free webinar to learn more about it and
then maybe get a copy yourself.
If you're investing then this is a tool I definitely recommend because you're going
to want to know this information.
So we're going to go to ripehouse and I'm going to log in.
Once I've logged in, it takes a little bit of time to load but it'll bring me to Sydney.
What I'm going to do is look at a potential area that I want to look at.
It's actually really easy to find the public housing in the area.
Ok so let's go to an area called Moree.
So what I'm going to do is click this click to search button up the top and I'm going
to find an individual suburb, so I'll just type Moree, we'll then choose it from the
drop down menu and click go.
That will now load Moree it will show us what properties are now available for the area.
There is a lot of functionality available inside here that I'm going to show you in
different episodes, but for this one we're just going to focus on public housing in the
area.
So that is now going to load and we can see the area there already we can see all these
red dots are houses that are on the market available for sale right now.
We can see some detail about Moree currently 117 properties for sale.
Most demand properties are 3 bedroom houses as you can see this goes into massive detail
and we can then look at neighbouring areas if we want but what we want to do is go over
here and turn on this public housing toggle.
Now we can see that Moree has classed quite a large area, it is a rural area.
So we're going to zoom in cause we want to specifically look at Moree the suburb, the
town sorry.
So I'm going to click the zoom button now just center that up, zoom a bit further.
So we can see the overview of the town here, we can see the north of the town, there's
the south east west of the town and so the areas that have a red shading are public housing
areas and the ones that have a deep red shading are generally dense out public housing areas
so this one looks the darkest so if I click on that area you can see public housing at
49% which is huge.
Now in order to, we close that off, in order to see again we have to zoom again, in most
areas you won't have to zoom in but because Moree is so large, I think there is that glitch
in the system so we can see that, that area as a great deal of public housing.
Let's say we don't want to look in an area that seems to have any.
Well as we can see there's all these areas up here that don't have any data.
Let's click on this one and we can see public housing of 2.2%.
So that is very different to the 49% or whatever it was we saw before.
So as you can see we can see that in the east south east and definitely in that south western
section of more there's a high density of public housing in those areas.
So if we were looking to avoid public housing we would go this section of Moree and kind
of the northern area as well.
Ok so let's do something else, click to search and we'll do I guess a more localized suburb,
let's do Caringbah which is in Sydney and then click go, this will now load Caringbah
and we can see for this city area where is the public housing in this particular area
and I know from previously living around this area there is some public housing in Caringbah
so I do want to see if this tool identifies it correctly.
Ok so we can see that Caringbah is loading up there, still just waiting for the houses
to come , searching through a lot of data so it does take a little bit of time, you
need to be patient.
Ok and we are going to toggle on public housing strategy and we zoom in a little bit and you
can see here there is a very dense area of public housing here and some over here but
there's a lot of areas where there is little to no public housing at all.
Now I know specifically and this area has identified it perfectly that these two areas
here have a high density of public housing.
We can see there very faintly Curtis Street.
Curtis Street is full of public housing and so this has identified it perfectly.
So that is how you can find out where the public housing is for any area in Australia,
any suburb, you can do this on any suburb in particular so if you want to avoid public
housing areas, this is the perfect tool for you.
If you want to find and target public housing areas maybe because they have higher rental
yields again this is going to be the perfect tool for you.
So to sign up for ripehouse just simply go to onproperty.com.au/house and you will then
be redirected to ripehouse and you can sign up.
If you go through my affiliate link then obviously I'm going to benefit from it financially,
you don't have to go through that but I do appreciate it massively if you do.
So I hope that has been helpful to you.
Thank you to Jacob Field who put this tool together because I think this is going to
be extremely valuable for potential investors.
