    Hi all,
    Just thought I’d throw it out there and see what people’s thoughts are on duplex blocks on the Gold Coast.
    Im thinking close to the water (within 500m) and north of surfers. I’m looking around $500k.
    I’m not planning on developing the block straight away. Probably a cosmetic Reno and maybe granny flat to increase the yield.
    Thanks in advance.
    Cheers

    I’m hoping someone has done similar deals in the area and give me some insight. Any tips on quality of suburbs or areas to stay away from.

    I was thinking roughly 500m-1000m from a waterway. My budget is mid 500s all in. I’ve seen a few things listed in that range with R3 and R4 zoning.
    I’ve got to do my sums on sale and build price of duplexes. Do you or anyone else know anything about developer contribution fees on the GC?

    I am fussy.

    I don’t like the northern end of the GC. Too much of a concrete jungle :eek:.

    I would only buy south of BH, especially if one wants to buy on the water.

    Drive the strip north to south and you will see what I mean ;).

    Don’t buy over the border, that is Mexican country. Totally different mob down there :D.

    I do agree with what your saying. I just see good value and zoning (on paper) in the north. I’m only fairly new to the area and being a builder I’d like to find something I can develop down the track.
