Building Wealth from the Ground Up: Turnkey Investments
Secure a brand new, tenant-ready investment property with a simple, fixed-price process.
H&L Package Floor Plan Example
What is a Turnkey House & Land Package?
A turnkey house and land package is the simplest and most popular way to invest in a new-build property. It’s an all-inclusive, fixed-price agreement where the developer handles everything—from the land acquisition to the final construction, landscaping, and even the letterbox. When the build is complete, you simply “turn the key” and it’s ready for a tenant to move in.
Who is this Strategy Best For?
- Time-Poor Investors: Ideal for those who want a brand new property without the stress of managing a custom build.
- Investors Seeking Maximum Depreciation: A new property offers the highest possible tax depreciation benefits, which can significantly improve your cash flow.
- First-Time Investors: The fixed-price nature and straightforward process make it an excellent, low-stress entry point into property investment.
The Trade-Offs: An Unbiased Analysis
The Advantages
- Fixed-Price Certainty: The price is locked in from the start, protecting you from construction cost blowouts.
- Full Depreciation Benefits: Maximize your tax deductions with a brand new building and new fittings.
- High Tenant Appeal: New, modern homes are highly attractive to quality tenants and often command higher rent.
The Considerations
- Longer Timelines: There is a construction period between securing the land and receiving rental income.
- Market Risk: The property market could change during the construction period.
- Less Customization: As a package, there is less opportunity to customize the design compared to a full custom build.
