Hi Guys,
Looking at buying my first Investment Property and would like to keep it very modest to start with, maybe up to 200k..

So i'm not going to be able to buy something very central in Auckland unless it's a shoebox, would prefer a unit or small tidy house.
So how to research an area? What's the best way to find out if an area has a fair demand for rentals? Crime rates etc? How best to find out what's generally happening in that town which could effect my investment? how do I choose a trustworthy Agent if I'm looking at units down the line?

If anyone knows of helpful websites or a book that really addresses this problem and doesn't just say "do your homework" I'd be very grateful ;)
