Properties

House & land has proven to be a good long term investment.
Depreciation, together with the rent, means that in times of low interest rates the investment is often cash flow positive from the outset.
Even at higher interest rates, the tax deductions usually mean that there is little after tax cost to holding a property while waiting for the long term capital gain.

Owner Occupiers have different considerations to investors.
They often do not want a standard product.
Compass has access to builders that are prepared to provide bespoke product at similar price to investment product without heavy mark-up for design changes and upgrades.

Dual occupancy house & land are two homes on a single title.
This provides for two rental incomes, which is very attractive to investors.
Dual Occs also appeal to owner occupiers who want a second income, or who wish to provide provide separate (but close) accommodation to older children or parents.

Terrace Homes appeal to purchasers that wish to avoid strata fees and want a lower price and higher yield than is available on traditional H&L

Dual Key Apartments can be divided into two separate rental units for the purpose of increasing rent yield.
They are typically in locations that appeal for short term rentals.
They are also typically in high rise buildings with relatively high strata fees.
These appeal to those seeking high yield - Compass can assist if required

Compass has a range of properties including new H&L to be constructed that are suitable for SMSF

Duplexes are similar to dual occs with the additional advantage that each of the two homes can be strata titled and sold separately.
This provides the prospect of immediate capital gain once construction is complete, or high rental income due to double rent.

Apartments have a lower land content than other property, which keeps the price lower than other types of property in the same location.
This type of investment therefore suits an investor looking for a premium location, and/or a low price point for the suburb.

In-fill House & Land investment appeals to investors that desire and can afford the extra cost of a new house in an established suburb
