Whats the property investment market like there as well? Quite a few of us would be interested in your market in regards to residential property investment.
I would be keen to know about:
1) Average residential property price paid by investors - roughly
2) Whats the favourite type of residential property for investment - villa, apartment, house, HUD home etc...
3) Where do you see your market heading in the next year..
Marc...the average investment property in our area is probably around 700-800k for a Muti 2-4-6 Unit...Which allows more rental income!
With the recent hurricane disasters and the fact that gas has just passed the $3.00 mark the market overall has softened a little. However, it usually does going into the holidays!
I think we will have a continued strong market once into a New Year IMHO...
We have both...Investors that buy one Home or Condo unit at a time and investors that buy a 2-4-6 Unit either same building or multi building same lot!
The Rent is more likely to cover on a Multi Unit with the price of housing here now!
I have a knee-jerk reaction to buying a property that I don't have 100% control over. We have a thing down here called "body corporates", some of which work well, and some of which make it virtually impossible to make improvements to the common areas of the property because of the need for $ contributions and consensus.
In situations where you buy part of a block or building how are those issues managed?

Sarahk...you do have control over these muti units...you own all the structures or buildings on the lot! So improvements are fairly easy!
so with a 3-4% gross yield the money to be made is by buying in smart areas or buying the worst property in a a good street doing it up and riding the capital gain ??
its much easier for me to get to the east coast time wise and for time difference. and for the capital gain loss i more than make up for anuualised cashflow return
