OVERVIEW
Through
the identification of supply-demand source imbalances in Australian
housing, the Citylife Group identifies cities and opportunities for
individual investors to invest in high quality Australian real estate
by selecting residential developments throughout Australia from quality
developers in prime selected locations.
STRATEGY
Managing Director Michael Bentley states that his aim for Citylife clients is to achieve regular and reliable rental returns of between 4% to 7% on it's recommended properties, and employ a long term investment strategy of between 3 to 10 years, a strategy which has been successfully executed over the past twenty years by Michael's clients and investors.
This strategy is designed to consistently achieve
attractive capital growth returns by minimizing strategic timing issues
and taking advanteg of the economic and real estate cycles, while
minimising risk.
Three themes define this strategic approach:
• Researched Developers
Citylife will only deal with quality and researched Developers, with impressive histories and track records.
• Avoidance of "high risk" opportunities
Citylife
believes property should aim to be a "low risk- high return"
investment, and as such will avoid high risk properties such as student
housing, serviced apartments and many "resort" areas.
•
Value-added Management and extras
Australian real estate investment is all about combining a high quality location, together with a good quality property at a fair market price, and then packaging it up with legal, rental, and financing services, to create lower holding costs and create maximum rental income, leverage and capital growth opportunities.
