Capital Edge has a detailed and strict investment property selection process that follows the following steps:
- 1. Clearly define your goals and current position.
- 2. Understand the process for investing and building a property.
- 3. Identify the high growth locations that meet our criteria
- 4. Select the best type of property for the location.
- 5. Assess the sustainable returns.
Determine Property Selection Criteria
Your approach to selecting the right investment property must be more scientific than the slogan “Location, location, location”. At the same time, don’t restrict your investment opportunities to the limited range of options offered by a project marketer trying to convince you that their selection of properties in a single development is all you need to consider. Capital Edge uses a rigorous selection criteria for selecting the right location for investors based on their individual needs. Once we understand your goals and current position, the criteria we use incorporates the following:
Availability of land:
- Apply the Demand-to-Supply Ratio.
- Is land becoming scarce in this location?
- Land is where capital growth is achieved
Local housing:
- Percentage of owner/ occupiers to tenanted.
- Current rental prices and supply.
- Vacancy rate.
- Apply the Land-Content Ratio
Local infrastructure:
- Parks, playgrounds, sporting facilities, childcare, access to beach.
- Public transport, access to freeways.
- Proximity to shopping centres, restaurants, schools, and medical facilities.
- Distance to CBD and local business hubs.
- Proposed infrastructure investment.
Our selection process is Australia wide. Living in the digital age enables us to invest anywhere in Australia. Don’t limit your investing to just your own suburb or city. Inevitably this will compromise the results achieved. If you are looking to explore the above criteria in more detail simply download a copy of our new book and the points outlined above are covered in much more depth.
