Why Residential Property?
We focus our attention on the residential property market as we believe it has the best balance between risk and return. The whole world wants to come and live in Australia, so the first thing they do is sort out where they will be living. Despite all this there is a critical shortage of property, and vacancy rates are at record lows. Building material costs are literally through the roof. Property values go up in line with replacement costs and there is your annual uplift explained of 5% to 10% over a long period.
Property is not a short-term investment due to the cost of entering the market including stamp duty etc. The price of property in Sydney has galloped away and makes owning even a 'cheapie' impossible for most people. We believe instead of owning one very average investment property, hava a share in a managed fund which buys only premium property and can create several property assets out of one purchase.
The key to a successful investment property strategy is in the location and selection of the individual property
Have you missed the boat?
Residential property investment is available to everyone, but only 12% of Australians invest in property outside of their own home.
We make it extremely easy for property investors so that they only need to make one decision – to leave it up to The Residential Property Fund.
We only select "premium" property
While there are at least 300,000 properties for sale in Australia at any time, less than 5% of these are "premium grade". As a result, they
- appeal to a wide range of affluent owner occupiers
- have a level of scarcity
- are in the right location with strong prospects of long-term capital growth
The future looks good and big
In the coming decade the world will move two billion people from poverty to genuine consumers and 75% of these are in Asia.This is a huge unstoppable trend that is happening right above Australia. The economic benefits coming your way from all this are inevitable.
Demographic factors such as net overseas migration, interstate migration and household formation rates are also key determinants of housing demand with, for example, net overseas migration said to be a key driver of Sydney's housing demand.
One-person households can be expected to comprise between one-quarter and one-third of all household by 2030, owing to the continued ageing of the population, the trend toward delaying marriage, and increase in divorce, separations and de facto breakups. The fastest growth is projected to occur in one-person households.
We develop close to transport links, bus or rail and generally near lifestyle amenities, parks and/or water etc. Other important factors include proximity to the city, restaurants and entertainment (Generation X usually do not like cooking). We particularly focus on the Inner West and Lower North Shore.
