All windows and doors are security screened making it compliant for the health & education departments to rent. The property is returning $450 p.w or $23,400 p.a with a net return on investment of 4.3% or ROI of 5.75% gross.
The Cooktown region is in progress mode and has zero vacancy rate on rentals. Over the past 24 months, many of the rental houses have been purchased by owner-occupiers placing stress on the rental market. Queensland Health and Queensland Education as well as Cook Shire Council all require more rental homes making investment rental homes a secure proposition, offering better returns than money in the bank or the share market. Due to this property’s convenient location and tidy condition, it will be possible to renew the head lease with Qld Health in the future.
