Fast Facts for the Smart Investor*:
- A median two bedroom house can expect to increase in value by 7.9% per annum and draw a rental yield of 6.3%.

Look for a big kicker: something big that’s going to occur in the area, which will guarantee growth. This could be an airport under construction or a new hospital. When there’s infrastructure plans in place, it is a positive sign that population growth and price increases are going to continue.
- Adam Marshall – Member for Northern Tablelands – 23 June 2017
“For a decade, Inverell has been demanding a new hospital that recognises their enviable position as fastest growing town in the region. Now they’ve got it.”
“This will be the pinnacle for healthcare in the region and greatly improve the delivery of health services for locals. It will mean that those close to Inverell won’t find themselves having to travel for essential services….it will help the rapidly growing town of Inverell attract the specialist doctors”
