Overview

PROVEN NET RETURN OF UP TO 4.4% - PHENOMENAL CITY INVESTMENT

This apartment offers a remarkable investment opportunity with a high net return, situated within the Mantra Sydney Central building, managed by the globally recognized Accor group. It presents an excellent chance to benefit from substantial net returns through leasing with a specialized short-term leasing agency, providing a hassle-free, high-performing income-generating asset in the heart of the city.

Conveniently located just 100 meters from the Capitol Theatre and within easy walking distance to the Chinatown light rail, this property is ideally positioned for accessibility and urban lifestyle benefits. The apartment is currently leased through a short-term rental agency, achieving an impressive annual net return of $29,655.15, equating to a 4.4% net return based on the asking price, with potential for further improvement.

It is important to note that the strata levies have recently increased to $2,921.70 per quarter for a three-year strata loan period, up from the previous $2,049.90. When factoring in these updated levies, the net return adjusts to approximately $26,167.95, or 3.9%. The initial figures were calculated using the original strata levies.
