Last Listing description (May 2017)

Student accom, 50m to West End centre, $121k pa now, add floor space, highrise zone, rare opportunity, definite seller.
Have you driven past properties in red hot locations at the heart of the action in pulsating inner suburbs, wishing you could own such desirable property, but being turned off by the tiny returns such properties invariably offer? Well this property is the exception you have been looking for.
Already returning $126k pa, the property has numerous avenues to improve that even further, ranging from simple renovations to raise the already good standard of accommodation, to getting approvals to add much more accommodation (which would require relaxations already achieved by others in the area, and which would nudge the % return well into double digits).

Students love living here because everything is at their doorstep. Wherever their campus is, they can walk there in a short amount of time or walk a few minutes to catch a bus or train that takes them directly there. Shopping is catered for in the comprehensive West End Centre a few steps away. And of course everyone has to relax and where better than in the unique atmosphere those same few steps away. So the property s use is guaranteed to be a highly viable one into the long term.
But the long term also offers other intriguing possibilities due to the high rise zoning the property possesses. For the ambitious, taking the rare opportunities to aggregate adjoining properties will lead to that rarest of quantities - a viable high rise development site in a premium hot spot. For the less proactive, waiting for a developer to come along and offer a big fat price as he tries that aggregation can mean a pot of gold (after your continuous receipt of juicy returns already had year after year). Talk about having your cake and eating it!

With thirty one years as a multiple dwelling building specialist, with the best and most comprehensive information presentation, and with a tell it like it is policy, I will enable you to make the most informed decisions possible when buying all kinds of multiple dwelling buildings.
