DELUXE HOME WITH MANY OPTIONS!
GREAT REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT!
If you are looking for a great investment opportunity in Joondalup City - then this is it.
Immaculately presented 3 bedroom 2 bathroom, 3 toilet townhouse PLUS a fully self-contained 1 bed 1 bath studio apartment offers a great opportunity to get into the investment market and potentially positively gear a property.
Gross rental return is currently $815 per week. Incredibly that is over 6.2% rental yield. The average house rental yield in Joondalup is only 4.3% (REIWA).
In addition to that, Joondalup City offers a unique environment for students to "rent by the room" providing them with luxurious accommodation at an affordable price - whilst increasing the rental return even further for the Owner.
This property is located opposite the Police Academy and Edith Cowan University and can’t be faulted.
