Stuart currently has his own tech recruitment company and lives on the Northern beaches. Stuart has reached out as he would like to create an investment portfolio. He would like to purchase 2 properties every year for 5 years with an end goal of 10 properties in 5 years. Stuart would like each of these properties to be positively geared.
Targeting locations which will grow in value by understanding what these push and pull factors are, when they will occur and how long they are due to last is what allows us to make assumptions for strong market growth.
Our methodology aligns with a number of different driving factors. Some of these include government funding, economic uplifting projects, infrastructure introduction, flanking market affects and more. However, the underlying factors comes down to a couple of basic principals, supply and demand from population movement and demographic demand.
In proud partnership with Australia's top property economists. We formulate specific data reports based on our client's requirements and the markets we shop in. Our partners have been awarded the Innovation Patent Housing Market Prediction Solution, which predicts housing price changes at suburb level up to ten years into the future.
Livingstone Shire is located in Central Queensland, about 600 kilometres north of the Brisbane CBD, and about 40 kilometres north-east of the Rockhampton CBD. Livingstone Shire is bounded by the South Pacific Ocean in the north-east and east, the Rockhampton Regional Council area in the south, the Central Highlands Regional Council area in the south-west, and the Isaac Regional Council area in the north-west.
Livingstone is home to more than 37,000 residents. The major centres include the coastal towns of Yeppoon and Emu Park, with the smaller settlements of Byfield, Farnborough, Cawarral, Keppel Sands, Glenlee, Glendale, The Caves, Yaamba, Marlborough, Stanage Bay and Ogmore making up Livingstone.
Livingstone Shire includes significant rural and rural-residential areas and growing urban areas. The Shire encompasses a total land area of about 11,800 square kilometres, including national parks, state forests, coastline, islands and beaches. The main urban centre is Yeppoon, with a smaller urban centre at Emu Park.
Non-Indigenous people are recorded to have lived in what is now known as Livingstone from 1853. Livingstone was first established as a Local Government in 1879, and then amalgamated with three other councils to become Rockhampton Regional Council in 2008. After a deamalgamation process driven by community feedback, Livingstone Shire Council was re-established on 1 January 2014.
The markets movement over the past year, paired with supportive driving data shows us there is good growth to come.
As we are looking for a positively geared property, yielding will need to be considered. We can expect this to rise due to the supporting data.
As properties begin to grow in value, vendors are realising the interest in the market and discounting less and negotiations begin to tighten up.
A reduction in days on markets indicates that pent up demand is causing property in the areas to sell at vendors expectations, which empowers the local property economy.
The increase of new listings coming onto onto the market shows that vendors are wanting a piece of the action and are willing to gauge the market.
As vendors begin to realise the markets potential, savvy owners are putting their properties on the market to get in on the action. This is expected to turn in the next 4 to 6 month as values rise.

there are no easements on this property
EASEMENT MAP
Easements are areas which need to be accessible by council or anyone with a right to access a portion or part of land. An easement could be related to sewage piping, gas lines or electrical works.
FLOODZONE MAP
Flood zones can be determined from river flood lines. In areas where the terrain is fairly flat and river banks overflow, properties which fall within these catchments may warrant higher insurance costs.
Building and council regulation states that the dwelling on top of the land needs to be classified correctly for the type of structure that it is.
In communications with the listing agent, he/she has confirmed the condition of the property is as the listing shows. This will be verified by our team in the steps moving forward.
Council rates are paid by the owners and fund council work and operations. Generally, the smaller the population and larger the council, the higher the fee is.
In most states, building and landlord insurance is required to by the buyer one the property’s contract has been signed and exchanged. The fee above is an average for the building insurance only.
There are 3 types of listing stages:
On-market, this is found on major portals
Off-market, this is for sale, but with the listing agency only
Pre-market, this has been presented to us outside of the public
The build year should be considered when purchasing properties of different structure types. The price of the property can be reflective of the build year vs the structure type. Some structure types age better than others. At a certain price point, it is worth remembering that land is the appreciating asset, while the dwelling is the depreciating asset.
Tenure renewals dates need to be considered in rising markets. If the market is rising, your ability to increase rental rates will only be possible at the time the tenants lease period renews.
Lease renewal rates cannot be changed inside of lease periods, for the benefit of the tenant.
