Long-Term vs Short-Term
Consider whether your focus is on long-term value growth or short-term rental returns. Each approach involves different planning, timelines, and property types. A long-term strategy may prioritise suburbs with strong fundamentals and future infrastructure, while a yield-focused approach may emphasise rental demand and cash flow.
Suburb Selection
Look into local indicators such as infrastructure development, population trends, and rental demand. Buyers agents can help you assess which suburbs align with your goals, taking into account both capital growth potential and rental performance. Paying attention to employment hubs, school catchments and transport can also guide your selection.
Planning for the Unexpected
It's helpful to plan for potential changes such as maintenance needs or market shifts. A well-considered strategy includes flexibility and awareness of property performance over time, including vacancy periods, interest rate movements and changes to local conditions.
How Buyers Agents Support Strategy
Buyers agents assist with suburb research, property selection, and negotiation. Their experience helps you stay focused on your strategy and avoid common missteps by providing independent insights and structured guidance.
