Many investors are now discovering the benefits, of buying a display home and leasing it back to the builder, at a commercial rate, for the life of a display village.

These opportunities are not so easy to find and investors, should always exercise caution.

Here are some benefits and points to consider, when investing in a display home:

• Guaranteed tenant (the builder)
• High rental yield (commercial rate- tenant is the builder)
• Investment property is still treated as residential for tax purposes
• Display houses are often highest quality
• Depreciation can still be claimed
• High short term returns can generate your next deposit
• Gardens/outdoor areas will be maintained by the builder during the period the property operates as a display home
• Builders/developers will have the property cleaned professionally on a regular basis
• If the property is part of a display village, it will be surrounded by quality homes on an attractive street
• Highly likely to attract quality tenants and premium rent after it is no longer leased by the builder
• Look for builders who use an independent valuer to set the purchase price
• Many of the appliances will be high spec and brand new, with high quality fixtures and fittings
• Use a self management platform like RealRenta and reduce your Property Management fees by thousands
