If you’re looking for Brisbane’s next property hotspot – check out this week’s featured “Investment Property of the Week.”

Hi I’m Paul Palella, Principal of Brisbane Buyers’ Agency. If you’re looking for a property with great growth potential check out our Brisbane Buyers’ Agency Property Buy of the Week. This is all part of our service to help our clients make smart buying decisions, easily.

This week’s featured property is less than 9km from the city which has recently sold for $625,000. This is a great price for an investor in an area that has seen steady growth . It’s fully renovated with deck and loads of storage so you could move right in, or rent it out at approximately $480 per week. 

Brisbane Buyers’ Agency Feature Investment Property of the Week

This property is a smart property investment because of its:

Location:

• Around 9 km from CBD on Brisbane’s northside
• Close proximity to a Westfields shopping district, schools and parks.
• Situated near quality newly built contemporary and substantially renovated dwellings

Value for money:

• It’s great value as similar style homes in the same suburb which I have appraised have sold closer to $650,000.
• My personal thoughts are that the marketing of this home was below average with the photographs not doing this home justice. The actual sales process by the vendor himself was definitely lacking which also contributed to a great buying opportunity
• Almost no asbestos located internally with most wall and ceiling linings being plasterboard lined throughout
• Move right in – nothing to be spent in the short to medium term

Construction and fit out:

• 2 storey post-war home with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and accommodation for 3 vehicles
• East facing
• Semi modern kitchen and bathroom
• Polished timber floors and painting in good condition.
• Ample internal storage
• Land area – 607 m2

Growth potential:

• Potential to make a fourth bedroom and entertainment room on the lower level and create additional equity and boost current rental return
• The potential to create open plan living space to further enhance value and bring up to modern stardards
• Rear deck soffit would benefit with ceiling linings to smarten up the outdoor entertainment area
• With a modest budget this home can be made to shine as it has all the potential for a modern home feel with plenty of space
• This suburb is set for great growth – we know this based on our experience and analysis of comparative sales in the area.
• Plenty of opportunities to enhance value with this home coupled with a location that has seen home owners undertake major renovations and new builds

Fundamental figures:

• Rental return in the order of $480 per week
• Local authority rates approximately $2000 per anum
• No maintenance or renovation costs – nothing extra to be spent internally or externally in the short to medium term
• Median house price and entry level for this location is approximately $630,000 (typically 3 bedroom, 1 bath)
• The immediate location historically has seen steady growth and equivalent homes 3 years ago were selling for approximately $380,000-$450,000.
• Tax depreciation benefit first year – $2500
• Tax depreciation benefit (10 year accumulative) – $15,900

Suitable for:

• Property investors
• Home buyers
