When investing in property in Australia, it is vital that the opportunity you purchase generates a rental yield that will help pay off the costs laid out. We take a look at why rental properties are still in demand in Australia.

Affordability

For many Australians, and those who have moved to this country, renting property is a lot more affordable than paying a bond off each month. It gives people more freedom to spend their money elsewhere and also have the opportunity to lock-up-and-go or simply travel when they need to.

International student influx

As shared previously, there is an influx of international students within Australia each year. Research by JLL, a real estate firm, estimated that Australia is going to see the student accommodation sector grow to 100 000 beds by December 2022.

Living within a like-minded community

Immigrants living within Australia tend to live close to their like-minded communities. They are either on work or study visas and are more inclined to rent apartments that are situated close to schools, universities, CBD, families and friends.

Lifestyle focused

The Australian community are very different from South Africans who look at accumulating assets. Due to the majority of Australians focused on establishing and keeping up with certain lifestyles, they opt to rent. Their focus is more on the idea of enjoying a certain lifestyle from travelling, enjoying time with friends and family at restaurants, being outdoors and making the most of their salaries through unique experiences.
