Top Tips

1. Don’t over capitalise, be prudent and spend 5% of the purchase price. : Stay away from structural damage, flooding, old electrical, re-stumping, close to major highways.
2. Do due diligence on comparable sales to know the end market value of the property once completed.:$1 in should be $2 out in added value.
3. Select areas that have limited land supply for sale and have good capital growth history, close to shops.
