Considering An Investment Property
Is capital growth still up? Where should I buy? What should I buy?
These are questions people grapple with when investing. With Homecorp investment property, we research population growth, rental returns and vacancy rates as well infrastructure amenities so you don’t have to.
Homecorp compile reports on each suburb as well as the wider region before we choose to develop there. This forms part of our investment property selection criteria.
Major Factors To Consider When Investing In Property
Our experience tells us that when people are looking to invest in property there are three major factors that come into play:
-
Budget – usually determined by your bank
-
Location – when investing that means the right strategic location

Infrastructure Spending
Factors like infrastructure spend, transport connections, health and educational facilities are just some of the criteria we consider before we start to develop our house and land estates.
We are happy to share what we know so reach out to the Homecorp team for suburb profiles and information memorandums.
Investment Property Location Criteria
Location, location, location – it’s a real estate cliché for a reason and it’s just as valid for investors as it is for owner occupiers. Proximity and convenient access to public transport, schools and other amenities that key to most people’s lifestyles. Having easy access to shops and restaurants makes a property more appealing to a tenant and can generate rental demand.
If an area is likely to undergo development or there are big infrastructure projects planned, that could mean more local jobs and this may increase demand for a property as well as its value.
Property Hot Spots
As you may have guessed, many of these factors identified above relate to each other – like the location and age of the property will have an effect on its capital growth – so you should consider all of these factors in a holistic way before making a decision.
