While many countries are open to investment, only a few are worth considering. Australia is one of the countries in the world that is a bountiful ground for investment opportunities. Recent survey has shown that Perth is the 7th most livable city in the world. Melbourne has been named the most livable city in the world for the sixth year in a row and Adelaide was joint 5th with Calgary, Canada.

With the market cooling down, it has now become even more important for property investors who want a good return on the best places to invest in. The property investing maxim of ‘location is everything' will hold true in the market slowdown. Founder of Invest in Properties and Australian property strategist, Yaron Gal states that although some forecast that median prices in Perth may actually fall in 2016, it can expect for a better growth ahead in 2017.

"That's why the earlier you can start investing in property, the better off you will be in the long run. Someone who starts investing in their 20s will build massive equity and wealth by the time they are in their 40s”, he added.

For many Malaysian investors, Australia offers a stable and large economy. Undoubtedly, the Australian education system is one of the best in the world. Perth houses some of the prominent universities, namely, Curtin University, Murdoch University, Edith Cowan University, and University of Western Australia amongst others. The Australian city scored a 95.9 on the livability scale during a survey recently, reassuring potential investors that apart from being an outstanding education hub, it is also one of the best places for future investment and migration.
