Client Success Story: Strategic First Home Investment in Elimbah, SEQ
Navigating the competitive South East Queensland property market requires expertise—especially for first home buyers aiming to combine lifestyle goals with smart investment decisions. This Elimbah success story demonstrates how partnering with an experienced Moreton Bay buyer’s agent can transform property goals into real financial outcomes.
Turning a First Home into a Strategic Investment Opportunity
Our clients were entering the market with a dual objective:
- Secure a high-quality investment property
- Transition it into their principal place of residence in the near future
Understanding the long-term value of land banking in SEQ and seeking guidance on correct finance structuring, they engaged IPS Buyer’s Agents, specialists in identifying growth-aligned properties for owner-occupiers and investors.
The Property: Growth and Cashflow in One Purchase
In June 2023, we secured an outstanding opportunity:
- Location: Elimbah, QLD
- Purchase Price: $825,000
- Property: 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 5 car spaces on a 3000sqm block
- Rental Income: $825 per week
- Gross Rental Yield: 5.2%
This property not only offered immediate strong rental returns but also significant capital growth potential. By May 2025, the property’s market value had risen to approximately $990,000, resulting in an equity gain of $165,000 in under two years.
