    There is an off-the plan property for retirement home on sale (ready in October)merrimec, QLD. On paper it is 8.5% return.

    Is investing on a retirement home a good investment?
    Thanks

    Hi Alex,

    Most lenders do not like these and will only lend to around 70%. As such they ‘suck’ more of your equity/cash than you would otherwise need in a standard property.

    Because of this many investors will steer clear of them and resales (and consequentially growth) becomes somewhat problematic.

    Also recommend you do a search as this topic comes up quite frequently. Top left side under ‘forum boards’ button.
