1 & 2/234 Brisbane Terrace, Goodna QLD 4300

This is an absolute money maker! A rare cash flow positive investment with plenty of upside. Flood free, close to transport and very low maintenance. It doesn't get any better than this with two streams of income for a price which might just purchase one property elsewhere. Cash buyers can expect over 6% gross return excluding the additional benefits of depreciation and annual growth of the market. (financial summary available upon request). Great investment or why not live in one and rent out the other?

What we have here on offer is a "duplex", or two x 3 bedroom homes, with an adjoining centre wall. There are no steps in either home so they are suitable for all ages. You will also find they are security screened and each feature a lock-up garage, it's own off-street parking area for a second vehicle plus a garden shed for additional storage.

You can't beat the convenience of a bus stop right at your front door and Goodna Railway Station is also within walking distance. It's also an easy stroll to the Goodna Aquatic Centre, Goodna Services Club and the Goodna Eagles Leagues Club. There's two golf courses within a few kilometres and the area is served by the soon-to-be-upgraded St Ives Shopping Centre as well as nearby Redbank Plaza. The nearby Ipswich Motorway provides freeway conditions (i.e. no traffic lights) to the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Brisbane Airport and Toowoomba. Goodna's convenient position ensures that growth in local real estate prices is inevitable.

The local area is a tremendous hot spot for jobs and will be into the future. Goodna is almost exactly midway between the Brisbane CBD and Ipswich CBD. The suburb was designated by the Queensland Government in the SEQ Plan as "a major activity centre", a transport oriented development centre and as an economic activity centre. There are loads of jobs in the area and many more on the way with an exceptional amount of new development. Here's just a few of the reasons why this area is a solid investment right now and more importantly into the future.
