Buying F.A.Q

Why invest in Port Hedland?

As the resource industry continues with long term expansion, there really is no better time.  Port Hedland offers amazing rental yields as more and more people begin to call this town home, add to the Port Hedland is set to become a city and really has never been a better time to invest.  Regardless of your investment goals there is a house that is right for you.

Why should I buy an Investment Property?

Depending on your financial situation, getting into an investment property really can take you on a “rags to riches journey”.  Having said that you need to individually assess each property you purchase, how long you want or need to hold it for.  I think the best advice for potential investors is to ride out the property cycle that effects the area you purchase in.

I have bought a Property. Now What?

Once you purchase have a plan for how long you are willing to hold the property for. Spend time with your chosen Property Manager, explaining what you expect, need and are willing to accept in terms of yield.  It is also vital to understand that no matter if you take on a company rental or otherwise, you will need frequent inspections, and property maintenance is an absolute priority.  As an exaple: If a tenant is paying over $1400 per week, they will expect a well maintained property.

Will building more homes in Port Hedland saturate the market?

Althought there is a vast amount of land that can be developed.  There is undoubtedly the demand for any/all land that is released.  As major construction continues throughout town, the chance of there being a rental glut is unlikely.  Truth be told they are unable to build them quick enough.  Meaning supply and demand should realistically increase regardless.

Should I sell my house in Hedland Now? Or wait?

Obviously the final choice is yours.  Having said that as the Pilbara region continues to profit from expansion, the demand for houses has risen sharply.  It is becoming a seller’s market.  It comes down to when you purchased the home, if you feel you have gained enough thus far, and probably the most personal of all reasons.  Would you feel safer selling now?  Unlocking the cash flow in your property by selling may well suit you sooner rather than later.  Getting a free appraisal of your homes value will help with that decision.

Is everything in the council plan, actually going to happen?

Like anywhere else planning for Port Hedlands future is a joint venture between Council, regional funding and private industry at this stage.  And it is our hope that Port Hedland’s growth expansion continues at its present rate, so we may become city within our own right.  At which point funding comes from a Federal Government level, which would implement many changes within the community as a whole.

Should I buy a new home in Port Hedland?

When a property is brand new the depreciation benefits are at their maximum possible allowances.  Of course buying new also gives you an expensive buffer as all fittings are new.  It also increases your rental returns, lets face it who wouldnt want to live in a rband new home.

Why do people want to live in Port Hedland?

When you combine affordability, resources and sea change into a single town. That is, Port Hedland you have the ideal town for the new decade. As industry partners in town grow, the town will improve in all aspects.  There’s a reason why people say , “you cry when you leave”.

We dont just love real estate. We love Port Hedland.
