Investment Apartments
Apartments can offer a more affordable entry point and often stronger rental yields, but they come with their own set of considerations around strata and supply.
Affordability and yield
Apartments usually cost less to buy than houses in the same location, which can make them an accessible entry point. They often produce higher rental yields relative to their price, which appeals to investors focused on cash flow.
Their lower land content, however, means the growth drivers can differ from those of a house.
Strata and supply
Owning an apartment means being part of a strata scheme, with owners' corporation fees and shared decision-making. It pays to review the strata records and understand the building before buying. Areas with a lot of new apartment supply can also see more competition among landlords, so supply is worth checking.
How we help
We introduce you to independent, licensed buyers' agents and inspectors who can review a building and its strata position. We do not act as your agent or recommend specific stock.

Frequently asked questions
