Different property types serve different strategies, but none is always a good investment.
Compare the actual asset
Assess tenant demand, building condition, supply, ownership costs and resale audience. A house's land component or a unit's lower entry price does not guarantee superior returns. Examine strata records where relevant.
Test the numbers
Include buying and selling costs, vacancy, repairs, finance and possible tax. Flipping involves substantial project and market risk, not assured quick profit. Prices can fall and income can be interrupted. Choose a property you can hold under less favourable conditions and compare it with other ways to meet your goals.
