The way people look at investment properties is changing. 

What was once reserved for higher net worth individuals is fast becoming an accessible way for everyday Australians to improve their financial portfolio. 

While most property investors choose to purchase a home in a high growth suburb, rent it out for a certain period of time and hope for a return on investment come selling day, many people are now flipping the property investment narrative to suit the needs of their family, lifestyle and financial goals. 

Here’s how.  

An investment opportunity for locals, by locals 

What better way to get a foot on the property ladder than to invest in an area you know and are familiar with? While many property investors turn to out of town or interstate areas to invest in, purchasing an investment property in Brisbane has several benefits.  

If you’re a local, it’s much easier to experience properties first-hand. With new development projects, such as Brickworks Park, you can even visit our sales suite and speak with the Position Property team to learn what property type is best suited to your budget. 

Even if you’ve always lived on the other side of Brisbane, most locals are familiar with the tree-lined suburbs of Alderley and Newmarket and the esteemed reputations they have. With great schools, landscaped parks and leisure zones all on its doorstep, it feels good to invest in an area you know and love.  

What’s more, you’re dealing with people who have a strong investment in the river city when you purchase at Brickworks Park. The project’s developer, CDL Australia, has established a strong foothold across Brisbane, with active projects in Kenmore and Toowong and a completed project in South Brisbane. The sales team behind Brickworks Park, Position Property, has been Brisbane’s genuine choice in real estate since 1999 – meaning you can trust their insights and guidance. 

Giving your children the gift of housing 

Many parents want to give their children a good start in life with support getting onto the property ladder. Whether it’s helping them with their deposit or offering to be a guarantor on their home loan, there are plenty of ways you can help. An alternative that benefits both you and your children is the purchase of an investment property that they can either move into and pay you rent, or gifting it to them as an early inheritance.  

Rent it out now, move in later 

Typically speaking, most property experts warn investors about making an emotional purchase and suggest treating it as a business decision instead. However, if you’re purchasing an investment property that you’re intending to move into in five- or ten-years’ time, you want to ensure it’s in an area you love, with all the amenities you desire nearby. 

Many purchasers at Brickworks Park that are either empty nesters or approaching retirement are exploring this option. The best part? While the purchase is an emotional decision because they will eventually call Brickworks Park home when the time is right, they know they can still get a good return on investment due to the location, onsite amenities, luxury design and much, much more. 

A handful of apartments and townhomes remain for purchase. To find out how you could call Brickworks Park home, call the friendly team at Position Property on 1800 861 868 or make an enquiry here.
