Know what tenants want
Pick a property type that appeals to the people who are actively renting in that area. For example, a small unit may be more affordable than a house, but if the local market is largely comprised of families, your investment property won’t appeal. It will also be to your advantage if a home has useful features for the target market, like extra parking or proximity to public transport.
At Centurion Real Estate we encourage our investors to get advice from independent parties such as financial advisors and carry out thorough due diligence before purchasing an investment property. It’s crucial to study up and glean the facts from as many sources as you can.
