Deciding where to invest in property isn't always an easy process, but the latest vacancy rate figures could give you some idea of the top performing cities. If you've had your sights set on Bentleigh real estate for some time, then now could be the time to think about making that all-important purchase.
That's because SQM Research has released its January vacancy rate survey, which showed increasing demand for rental property across Melbourne and its various suburbs.
