Investing in property is a powerful and popular trend in Australia.  Australians per capita have one of the highest rates of property ownership in the world.

Depending on your investment requirements, you will have different strategies you wish to pursue.  You may seek investments that offer higher growth, yet lower rental yields.  You may seek higher yields for cash flow purposes - many regional areas and commercial property can offer this.  But regardless of what you investment strategy may be, there are a few rules any astute investor will tell you.

Investing in property can deliver lucrative returns, but the simple truth is it must be managed well.  Over the past few years there has been a varying degrees of movement in property prices across the nation.  Western Australia for example, saw very high capital growth and similarly high yields for investors.  How long that will be sustainable remains to be seen.  

However,  our particular pocket of the Northern Beaches has remained consistently strong over time.  Proximity to the coast and reasonable access to all major business districts in the Sydney region, in particular the CBD while always be a key driver of property prices in the area.

Owning an investment property can potentially be a legal minefield.  With such a significant asset, there are many legal requirements that must be adhered to by the landlord, the managing agent and of course the tenant.

Our Asset Management team is well-versed in the requirements of all parties.  Of course, they are all licenced under the requirements of the Real Estate Institute of NSW.  As such, they have ready access to all external parties who may assist in any requirements in this area.

There are a number of areas that must be considered when leasing a property.  Apart from the day to day management of the property, an owner must consider appropriate insurance and of course, the rights of the landlord and the tenant in such an agreement.

Again, our team can offer the right advice to any potential landlords.

The Office of Fair Trading provides a wealth of information both for landlords and tenants alike.  You can visit their website directly from here.  It is very worthwhile to familiarise yourself with the requirements under the Act and the resources available to you.
