Hot Rental Properties – In The Spotlight

The rental market has been under plenty of scrutiny this year, with the flow on effect of COVID seeing asking prices for quality rentals falling in some areas and landlords ready to play ball.

This, combined with less competition from other prospective tenants, has provided a golden opportunity for anyone looking to upgrade into a nice property while the going is good.

Rentals in Queensland especially are serving up great value at the moment, so we at Blink thought we’d do some of the shopping for you and highlight some of the best on offer in your neck of the woods.
