Ray White Carnegie’s Matt Hurlston: Good local amenities for investors to look for

By Matt Hurlston

If you're interested in buying investment real estate in Bentleigh East, the importance of location cannot be overstated. The types of amenities in close proximity to your investment property will have a heavy influence over the amount of attention it gets on the rental market, which you'll naturally want to increase in order to get the best possible returns. 

For example, things like schools, shopping centres, public transport stops and outdoor recreation areas are often rated highly for people interested in finding rental property. Therefore, looking into local communities with a lot of these things to offer could be a great way to kickstart your property portfolio. 

Making it easy for people to access the amenities they regularly need or want – like education or entertainment – will help increase the tenancy demand for your property, allowing you to secure the strongest returns possible.
