    was having a browse through Domain recently to see a over 55's apartments for sale in a large Country town.
    The real estate agent has written " great for investors " returning $150 weekly.
    They are selling between $65 and 75k.

    Im just wondering what restrictions there are on these?
    Its probale they are Company Titles and not Strata too I imagne.

    Great rental yield. Poor capital growth. Restrictions on use. Sometimes hefty commissions to pay to the village management on a sale. Lenders don't like - those that will fund only offer low LVRs.

    Age of tenant restrictions (over 55) for a start. Other restrictions as per the particular village's rules and regs.

    We've looked at these a few times. In every case the good yield is completely negated by the high management fees.
