For investors looking for positive cash flow properties, Newcastle’s Hamilton East probably isn’t the right target.

The median house price in the suburb currently sits at $1,055,000, and with an average weekly rent of just $495 the rental yield is only 2%.

While that may not be ideal for investors interested in a passive income, those who have bought in Hamilton East are enjoying the benefits of strong capital growth.

In the past year, the median house price has risen 46%, and over the last five years it has risen 52%.

No doubt helping Hamilton East’s performance are the numerous educational facilities on offer, with private and public secondary schools in the area, along with a TAFE campus.

There are also ample parklands nearby, while the banks of the Hunter River are just a short walk away.
