The Project
C&S were interstate investors seeking long-term capital growth with a budget of up to $395k. Looking within 30km of the Brisbane CBD, they were after a property on a minimum 600m2 block, with low maintenance gardens, that would be immediately rentable and provide close to neutral yield.
The Property
The property we purchased was a typical QLD low-set brick house found in the Northern suburbs of Brisbane. This property was set on a corner block of 631m2, with street access on two sides, and a 6x6m double-bay shed for all the toys. Difficult to find for under $400k in this particular suburb, this property also included aircon, solar water heating, polished wooden floors, and colorbond fencing all round. Most importantly for the Queensland summer, a large covered outdoor area would provide some shade for a BBQ. With a number of really good rental applications received, fantastic tenants moved in only two weeks from settlement!
