Investment overview
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 3.57% (median rent $550/wk against a $800,000 price tag). Units yield 9.69% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (8%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs.
