Lucky Seven


Going to auction is this extremely well located block of 7 strata-titled units with the potential for cash positive returns. Currently being managed as a professionally managed Airbnb, at our proposed purchase price the gross return is in excess of 11% pa with a net return around 7.7% gross (excluding interest on finance). Airbnb not your thing? We’re still likely talking around a 6.7% gross return as a fully furnished, utilities included standard rental (it is being sold fully furnished). There’s 6 x 1 bed units, a perfect product for the location, plus a 2 bed unit that can likely be converted to a 3 bed if you wanted. This very inner-city purchase is an ideal buy and hold. Buyers able to buy at auction for $2.8m should call Justin on 0410511535.

Don't Speak!


As this site is over 1000m2 you’d have to assume the agent knows it can be subdivided, however, he makes no mention of it. Maybe it is because the house is quite reasonable. That aside, not only can it be subdivided, but it can be subdivided into three lots! He probably doesn’t know about this option because if he did he should be shouting it from the rooftops! Please don’t let the secret out. The expectations are $1m+, and they get this, quite easily, in fact possibly up to $1.1m. We want to come in quick with a strong $1.05m offer. This site has an LR zone, an advantageous 25m frontage (subject to survey), the combo of which allows us to achieve 3 x 337m2 lots with 8.3m frontage (on average and subject to survey), which in turn may allow for some lowset rooming houses, at least on two of the proposed lots. The third lot contains a protected tree so we’ll need to be three storeys on this one. Numbers are humming at $230k equity gain for the 3 lots, but 10% gross and 25-30% equity gain for building three rooming houses (the lowset dwellings certainly help numbers). Be quick! Buyers at $1.05m should call Justin on 0410511535.

Interesting


In all honesty we dove into this excitedly assuming the numbers would be better than they are. Never-the-less, this is still a unique and interesting opportunity. On offer is a property that ticks a lot of boxes… 809m2 land area, corner lot, fairly gently sloping, quiet position, handy to shops/cafes/transport, Medium Density Zone, an existing brick block of three units. Where do we sign! Knowing it was on a corner, we knew 5-6 three storey townhouses was the likely winning option, though for those wanting to go bigger, there is potential for up to 5 levels for units (but this also needs you to go down with basements). And whilst the rent returns are reasonable for the product (and good for a development site), the development numbers are falling short. That said, this is still a great opportunity, perhaps for renovation and returns, maybe as a land bank, possibly for units, or perhaps even to develop townhouses if we can find a way to improve the numbers. Buyers at $1.5m.

Hedge Your Bets


This is a great site, that would be a super great site if we could demolish the house. Unfortunately, despite some strong arguments for demolition, we need to assume this very average house (that would have originally been a nice colonial) needs to stay, so we need to hedge our bets. But not to worry! Whilst the numbers aren’t as good, there’s still terrific upside and a fantastic development option up our sleeve. On offer is a 740m2 (approx) corner site zoned LMR. Whilst demolition would result in 4 new freehold terrace style homes, the more likely scenario is retention, subdivision and a dual occupancy (i.e. a duplex) in the rear portion of the site with frontage to the side street. The numbers for this indicate a very respectable 24% equity gain – not bad considering our plan involves limited to no renovation, and the construction of only two new townhouses. Buyers at $1.57m should call Justin on 0410511535.
