Careful research is required to ensure you invest in the right type of property. It is essential that your investment property is optimally positioned to maximise rentals in terms of occupancy rates as well as rental growth. There are many variables to consider, including location, size, age and type of building, maintenance costs, strata and other management fees (in the case of units), and renter preferences in the target market area. Getting it wrong can lead to costly mistakes and sub-standard investment returns. Getting it right is both satisfying and rewarding.

How McCarthy Group can assist:

While there are many possibilities open to investors, our experience is that investment in a land and house package positioned in the right location and price bracket has been a formula that has worked extremely well for our investor customers. The homes that we design and recommend are typically in brand new residential developments, and are 3- or 4- bedroom executive homes that are built to exacting standards and positioned in the market to ensure maximum appeal and rentability. The partnerships that we have established with property developers, architects and builders have enabled our customers to gain access to remote markets safe in the knowledge that the marketability of their homes is assured, which is why we do not need to offer rental guarantees. The research and partnership process is sound and has been proven hundreds of times over, as will be borne out by our customers, many of whom have become multiple property owners using this tried and tested formula.
