8/36 Lucinda Street, Taringa QLD 4068

On the top floor of a brick block of just 10 apartments, this tidy and sturdy property will tick plenty of boxes. It's got very reasonable body corporate fees, so it's easy on the hip pocket, and until recently the tenancy was raking in $340/week. The dishwasher and recently installed split-system air-conditioning to the living room and main bedroom will lure prospective tenants like flies to honey and it's in a great location - just around the corner from a bus stop providing easy access to the University of Queensland and the CBD, a short walk from Taringa train station and it's less than 2km from both Toowong Village and Indooroopilly Shopping Centre.

With abundant cross-ventilation and breezes, a private laundry, large lock-up garage, covered balcony and no work needed this is a decision you won't have to sleep on. The cherry on top: it's also in the catchment zone for one of Brisbane's best State Primary Schools, Ironside State School.
