Charleville QLD

Doing a quick search on Charleville I am surprised I cannot bring up any results here.

I know its way out "woop woop" but a quick search reveals there are some houses on the market for instance one 5 bedroom for $115,000 that is getting $180 a week in rent.

To my quick calc's thats an 8.14% yield? Without drilling down further you would think this would be CF+ or Neutral??

I know the town will probably not experience any capital growth what-so-ever, but if one was just looking for income it could perform ok (that is until the place becomes vacant and you can't find a tenant)..

Anyone have any comments/thoughts on Charleville?

Yes - that yield is correct. But if you borrow ALL the money at say 5.14% and overheads of paying mtce, PMs, repairs etc run to 1.5% then your nett yield is
1.5% :eek:

1.5% of $115,000 = $1,725 per year. not worth doing / taking the risk.

If you had all the money in cash, then you are getting 8.14% - 1.5% = 6.64%

You can get 4-5% on a bank deposit with out going to woop woop and taking on tenants, repairs etc and other unknown factors. Why would you bother?:(
 
If that's the house I'm thinking of, I rang up about it a while ago. Agent mentioned that roof needs replacing and has asbestos in it.

A mate bought out in Charleville last year, he's happy with his purchase, but travels through that area a fair bit so knew it well, and can keep an eye on it. He's also bought a place in Bourke NSW which he says is even better... He's never had a problem with tenants in either place though.

I made another post about Charleville under another heading, but speaking to local agents and mate last year - major industries farming/cattle and large abatoir set up to handle kangaroo export. It was just explanding when I called last year, but not sure what's happened since Russia slowed roo meat imports.

because the 115k doesnt get cap growth?

eg. mum had 290k in TD @ 7.4%

Took out and invest in property with approx 4% net yield, but has had 80-100k cap growth in the last yr

The OP, had said he was expecting "I know the town will probably not experience any capital growth what-so-ever" which, although his expectation, in reality has not been the case historically.

If you were expecting zero CG - then it is not worth doing as I said.

However, if you look at the figures on Charleville, back in 1999 the median priced house was around $50K, now it is around $140K - nearly triple :eek:

I can still think of easier ways to make $90K in 10 years though ;)
