More Yield In Marsden

One way to generate more cash flow from an investment property is to have two separate rental incomes, as is the case with this month’s feature property which is a duplex in the growing suburb of Marsden. 

Less than 25km from the centre of Brisbane, Marsden is a growing suburb in South-Wast Queensland’s Logan City.  It’s within easy reach of the Logan Motorway and the closest train station at Kingston is less than 5km away. 

Marsden is known for its proximity to great nature parks and bicycle paths as well as the city, and is a quiet family neighbourhood. With plans to triple the size of the local shopping centre, Marsden is also in the process of becoming a local destination in its own right. 

There are a wide variety of public and private schools in the vicinity, while Logan’s hospital, Griffith University Campus and major shopping centre is less than a ten-minute drive. Adding to the appeal for investors is that south-east Queensland is one of the nations fastest growing population areas, with another 2.2 million projected to settle there over the next 30 years. 

This month’s property is an ideal opportunity for those seeking a strong rental cash flow from their investment. It’s a duplex set on 450m2  that’s divided into a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, single garage home and a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom, single garage home. The purchase price is $517,800 and with an expected combined rent of $645 per week, investors can anticipate a gross yield of 6.48%. 

This is an excellent investment opportunity particularly for those looking to diversify their portfolio in a way that doesn’t place high demands on your own cashflow.
