Joe, Emmie and Chris sought their first investment with a $600–650k budget and 5% yield target. After searching from the Sunshine Coast to Kingaroy—and walking away from a Maryborough property after building and pest—we secured an elevated Kingaroy home with Bunya Mountains views for about $20k under market. Contracted 9 April and settled 9 June 2026, it was rented within a month for $580pw through a local property manager we sourced, with secondary-dwelling potential, subject to approval.
