House and Land
House and land packages can be an excellent way to build wealth over the long term, especially in locations with strong growth potential. You can easily claim more depreciation and tax benefits than you would with an established home while saving on hefty maintenance costs. New homes also have the advantage of attracting better quality tenants seeking modern conveniences.
Typical Yield: 4.5-5%
Typical Cost: $499k-$820k
Townhouses
Townhouses are in demand among young families looking for larger living spaces in quality suburbs where the median house rental prices may be well above their affordability. They also provide a low maintenance lifestyle but provide more room than an apartment, which is why they are growing in popularity with renters and make a good investment choice.
Typical Yield: 4.5%-5.4%
Typical Cost: $420k-$590k
Co-Living Homes
Co-living is a trendy new shared housing opportunity for like-minded people who want to benefit from a combination of larger living spaces and cost savings. These types of rental homes are popular with millennials, young professionals, entrepreneurs, students and travellers. They are typically 4 beds, 3 ensuites, a kitchen with a walk-in pantry and 3 lockable cupboards.
Typical Yield: 7-9%
Typical Cost: $500-$700k
NDIS Properties
An NDIS investment property can be an excellent opportunity for an astute investor looking for good returns. A crucial part of the NDIS is its Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) where properties are designed to meet special needs like functional impairment. Investors looking at NDIS properties are not only able to gain returns, but also assist those in need through this type of housing.
Typical Yield: 8.9%-13.6%
Typical Cost: $720k-$895k
Apartments
Apartment buildings are a popular investment strategy for people who want to build wealth and gain financial independence. They are typically more affordable with lower maintenance than townhouses, providing the opportunity to benefit from positive cash flow from the start of your investment.
Typical Yield: 4.5%-5.4%
Typical Cost: $420k-$590k
Dual Key Homes
Dual key homes are typically one property divided and designed into two separate living units. This type of investment strategy provides the opportunity to live in one unit and rent out the other. Alternatively, you also have the potential to earn two rental incomes while managing just one property, offering you better cash flow and a reliable income stream in the long term.
Typical Yield: 6.3%-7%
Typical Cost: $470k-$820k
