A Set-and-Forget Investment in Bracken Ridge
Sometimes the best investment strategy is a simple one: buy well, make a few smart improvements and hold for the long term.
Referred to Hot Property Buyers Agency by a friend who had already engaged our services twice, this client was looking for a quality, long-term investment property with minimal ongoing fuss.
The brief was clear. A lowset home in a predominantly owner-occupied street, with practical indoor-outdoor living, a swimming pool and the potential to add value through cosmetic improvements.
5 Shalimar Place, Bracken Ridge ticked all the boxes.
A Smart Purchase With Long-Term Appeal
With a functional single-level layout, easy indoor-outdoor flow and a swimming pool, the property offered the lifestyle features we were looking for, alongside the potential for long-term investment appeal.
Our client was comfortable undertaking some cosmetic improvements after settlement, allowing us to focus on securing the right property rather than one that was already perfectly presented.
From Settlement to Tenant-Ready
Following settlement, we coordinated a series of improvements to refresh the home and address maintenance items identified during our initial inspection.
These included:
- A complete internal repaint
- Replacement of plumbing fixtures
- Minor maintenance and repairs identified during our initial inspection
- General improvements to prepare the property for leasing
Rather than overcapitalising with an extensive renovation, the focus was on practical, cost-effective improvements that would enhance presentation and help position the property for the rental market.
The Result
Following completion of the works, the property was successfully leased for $1,000 per week, generating $52,000 in annual gross rental income.
For our client, the result is exactly what we set out to achieve: a well-presented investment property with desirable lifestyle features, secured with a long-term buy-and-hold strategy in mind.
Another successful purchase through a client referral, and another example of how our involvement extends beyond securing the property to helping our buyers prepare their investment for its next chapter.
