Residential Investment Property
Why Invest Now?
As many Australians already know, investing in property can have many advantages. It can help you secure your future, act as an additional income stream or improve your tax efficiency.
Choose the right time to invest
An investment property should be part of a well planned strategy suited to your personal financial objectives, and should include a strong element of research. In addition, when looking at macro factors driving the demand for investment property you may consider the these:
- A national undersupply of housing - combined with high demand could make it easier to find tenants.
- Rental prices are being pushed up - as a result of strong demand and low supply, giving many investors better returns.
- Price growth - this varies between States and suburbs and can play a strong role in deciding the location of your investment property.

Enjoy the benefits of investing in a new property
- You can claim higher tax depreciation benefits for new investment properties, than you can with established homes. This might leave you with more cash in your pocket.
- A newer, higher quality house, could give you better rental returns if you compare like-for-like properties in the same area. Make sure you get rental estimates before you buy and judge for yourself. Stockland can provide rental estimates for free with most of its properties.
- New property usually has lower maintenance fees and other 'incidental costs' because you know the plumbing is new, air conditioning is still under warranty and the walls shouldn't need a coat of paint for years!
- A better quality property could attract a better quality tenant, leaving your valuable investment in good hands.
