OK the above acronym is not necessarily in the right order. However, it highlights the essence of any successful real estate investment. A good return on sale depends upon the correct acquisition and tax structure, appropriate fit out and essentially the control of daily running costs. Unless these factors are combined with a realistic and sustainable rental stream any long term capital gain will be seriously eroded.
In order to ensure your property returns the maximum yields, we have established a system of codes, practices and reporting structures that ensures that you are informed and in control.
