    Hi there,

    Love this post [:D]!
    Would you believe these ‘boxes’ have gone up in value…and…they are used during Spring/summer.
    Wouldn’t mind having one myself [:D]
    Nothing like diversifying your portfolio!
    Would it be a 80% LVR or a 70%LVR do you think?

    Sooshie,

    We could start a new niche market.. [:D]
    Renting out Beach huts in summer !


    ..”Sick of dragging all your beach junk to the beach ?.. Umbrellas, towels, surf boards, jet skis.. etc.. Now you can store you beach stuff in your own hut !. Need somewhere to stay on those hot summer nights, stay and play all night at the beach … [8D][8D]



    The maintenance would be low, but you would have it vacant most of the year, so id suppose it would be best to pay out the loan asap, and just take the seasonal cash for renting it out. [8D][:D]

    Regards,
    Arty.

    Hi Lawry,

    I’m not familiar with the area, but doesn’t look like a large block of land. What is the local industry? How strong is the rental market in that area?
    It doesn’t meet the 11 second solution, but it does say you could ‘up’ the rent with some cosmetic care. How much could you ‘up’ the rent to, once reno job is done? Would it be for buy and hold, for wrap, L.O etc?

    I think I’ll stick to the bathing box…I can just see myself sitting there on the beach with a margaritta in one hand and a book in the other…Oh what a life [;)][:D]

    Cheers

    “I can just see myself sitting there on the beach with a Marijuana in one hand”

    I must say, that I have noticed the number of caravan/cabins for sale also. I have often wondered how they go IP wise? In particular those which are more of a permanent home type, especially near beach/foreshore areas. Do they make for a good investment? It is getting harder these days for the first home owner for example to own their own home. Also alot of low income earners. Any thoughts?

    Bathing Box

    Great investment. it sounds cheap at $25,000. I have seen them sell for over $100,000 in a good area, eg Brighton or Rosebud. I just missed out on one a couple of years ago ‘for free’ I was having breakfast and saw it in the local paper at Dromana and rang it up at 6.15am. It was already gone[B)]. Too slow.

    I saw my first “genuine” BOX on a recent road trip from Melbourne to Adelaide. I must say I thought they were pretty cool. But $100,000 !!!!

    That’s a hell of a lot of beach towels and umbrellas…….

    Could even buy a fairly large Triton shed to put all your gear into….
