Success Story: How Baxter & Mason Helped Sam Secure a High-Yield Investment Property

When Sam, a savvy property investor, approached Baxter & Mason Property Buyers Agency, his goal was clear: find a high-yield investment property that would maximize his returns. With years of experience in property investing, Sam understood the importance of strategic acquisitions—he wanted a property that offered strong income potential without sacrificing long-term growth.

The Search Begins

Our team at Baxter & Mason conducted an in-depth analysis of the market, focusing on properties with solid rental returns. We identified a promising opportunity: a 10-year-old dual occupancy dwelling nestled in a sought-after suburb. This property featured two separate residences on a single parcel of land, each with its own water and electricity meters, making it an attractive income-generating asset.

Understanding Dual Occupancy vs. Duplex

It's important to distinguish between dual occupancy and duplex properties:

Dual Occupancy: A single landholding with two residences. These dwellings share the same title, meaning they cannot be strata titled or sold separately. However, each has separate utilities, which facilitates rental income and management.

Duplex: Essentially a pair of dwellings built side by side, typically under a single title but can be strata titled. Strata titling allows each side to be sold independently, providing greater flexibility for future investment strategies.

Our selected property was a dual occupancy—perfect for generating reliable rental income—offering the stability and income flow Sam sought, even though it couldn't be strata titled or sold separately.

The Investment Highlights

This dual occupancy property boasts a consistent 6% rental yield, a significant return considering the current market standards. Its age and condition mean minimal maintenance costs, and the separate meters make it attractive to tenants, ensuring steady occupancy and income.

The Outcome

Thanks to Baxter & Mason’s expert negotiation and market insight, Sam secured this high-yield asset at a competitive price. The property is now a cornerstone of his investment portfolio, providing him with strong cash flow and potential for future appreciation.
