They look good on the surface with the buy price and predicted weekly let but If you dig deep into the units past incomes and costs, say the last 2 -3 years you will see they generally just a money pit. There is lots of hidden costs involved that the selling agent's do not tell you about initially, body corporate fees, sinking fund costs, management fees, marketing fees, cleaning fees and repairs and maintenance. And if you want to use it for your own holidays there are tax implications to deal with too. About a dozen or more years ago I wanted to buy a holiday let unit. Looked all up the QLD coast from Noosa to Port Douglas and inspected dozens and applied for copies of their books. Not one stacked up, all were huge loss making concerns. Some of the ones we liked and nearly bought in Cairns looked good on the sales web sites but I subsequently found out many of the owners that were trying to sell were in deep sheet re escalating debt because they could not pay the body corp fees (for example), they were years in arrears. They just were not getting the predicted let income and the outgoings were dragging them under quicker than the Titanic. When I crunched the numbers the only people making any money out of it (your asset) were the managers of the units, cleaners etc. I ended up buying a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom house at Kewarra Beach FNQ at a bargain basement price during the GFC when everyone though the world was going to end. With a house you side step all those horrendous costs you get hammered with on a holiday let unit. With a house let you are in control of who is milking your income and a house is just so much better IMO, so take a very careful look at all the figures Red Devil before committing.
