Time to invest!

Demand for investment properties in Ipswich is currently on a high. Rental vacancies are sitting at 2.2% which is below the Australian average with rental yields at 5.3%.

This above average rental yield marks Ipswich as a real property investment hotspot. However, finding suitable land in the current market can be quite challenging.

Stroud Homes can help keen investors find the perfect house & land package to maximise return on investment and get positive cash flow.

Sales consultant Josh talks us through the ins and outs of building an investment home with Stroud Homes and why now is a great time to invest in the Queensland property market.

Investment friendly packages

We offer the ability to tailor our new home inclusions for a more investment friendly package.

We work with investors to ensure that the package meets their budget while not compromising on the quality.

These packages have been specifically designed to take the hassle out of building an investment property – all-inclusive, they offer fantastic value for money.

Where to invest

Investors typically look at Ripley, Springfield and Deebing Heights as these areas are all on the up and have great facilities for families. The area is due to have long term growth and future development.

Ipswich occupies a unique location at the heart of many regional and national transport networks:

  • 35 minutes by car to Brisbane CBD
  • 60 minute by car to Brisbane’s domestic and international air and sea ports
  • Easy access to both Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast
  • Rail connections to Brisbane and the Gold Coast

Investors are typically looking for smaller lots to reduce yard maintenance for the potential tenants. The team is happy to talk you through the best option for your situation.

Investment home designs

I would recommend the Avoca, the Paddington and the Belmont as great investment home designs.

They are 3 to 4 bedroom designs and suit the common block sizes around Ipswich.

They are also very cost effective due to the size and layout of the designs.

Building an investment property vs buying one

Building an investment property as opposed to buying an established investment allows you to take advantage of the warranties for a new home.

There is much less maintenance for a landlord on a new home as opposed to an established home.

Don’t buy into someone else’s headache where you will have to pay for repairs on a regular basis. Get a new home with guarantees and warranties that will last for years to come.

You will also save money on stamp duty when building a new home.
