Many Brisbane-based investors are choosing to subdivide their land and build a new investment property as part of their wealth creation plan. When executed correctly, this can be a great way to set yourself up for a financially-free retirement. However, planning, designing, and building an investment property is not the same process as if you were building or renovating your own home. 

For example:

• Your investment property’s layout must be as optimised as possible for the type of tenant you wish to attract. Families will prefer open plan living and lots of bedrooms. Retirees may prefer smaller dwellings. And students may wish to have their own laundry facilities and kitchenette, and they may wish to lock their bedroom doors. 
• You must choose fittings, fixtures, surfaces and colours that are going to be as ‘universal’ as possible, to cater to the needs of your tenants. 
• You must use materials that are easy to clean and simple to maintain.
• And you must build your property using economical but long-lasting materials, so you get as much possible return on investment from your initial build.

Constructing an investment property is an exciting stage in your life–but it can also be daunting. After all, there are lots of ‘creative’ decisions to make, and a simple error could end up being costly.

Plus, you’ll need to navigate council approval, arrange the creation of property titles, connect to major services and utilities, and satisfy other civil/planning requirements. We can help with all of these.
