Top 5 Investor FAQs When Selling Apartments, Units or Villa Units
1. Do I need open homes to sell my investment unit?
No. Off-market strategies via agent databases and buyer-matching can avoid open homes and minimise tenant disruption.
2. Can I sell with a tenant in place?
Yes. In fact, many investors prefer it for immediate income security post-settlement.
3. Will high body corporate fees kill my sale?
Not necessarily—if net yield makes sense and fees are disclosed transparently, serious investor buyers may see past them.
4. Is marketing spend always necessary?
No. Targeted off-market campaigns can save marketing dollars, especially for investor stock. Some digital features or pro photos may help, but thousands on advertising are not always needed.
5. How do I compare my property to others?
Yield, tenancy, location, and outgoings—not just the headline rent or photos—are what investment buyers really care about.
