Building Benefits
One of the major benefits of investing in greenfield areas is the fact that there is still large portions of land available to begin your new development. Often when building in suburbs it may be necessary to knock down a house to start a new build. This process can end up being expensive and lengthy. A newly developing area such as those listed above will provide you with options and an ease in beginning your investment build. This can make your investment property smoother and more achievable.
High Rental Yield
Renting outside of Melbourne in these greenfield suburbs can provide great returns. The affordable housing prices and demand for family housing means that your rental income will be a rewarding benefit resulting in high rental yield.
Design Advantage
Starting fresh on vacant land means that you can have maximum design flexibility. There are many things to consider when buying vacant land. A new build on fresh land will also require a lower amount of maintenance which will reduce costs in the long run once the home is completed and occupied.
