Friday form guide: Yields of up to 7.2% in Cessnock
3/49 Rawson Street, Aberdare, NSW, 2325
Close to schools, parks, shopping centres and Cessnock CBD, this vacant two-bedroom apartment is in a block of four, and the three others are currently rented at $275 per week, says listing agent Bryce Gibson of LJ Hooker.
Gibson is marketing the property with price hopes of $200,000 plus, and if it sells for that price that would secure an investor a gross rental yield of 7.2% if it were rented out at $275 per week. This is significantly above the indicative gross rental yield for Aberdare units of 5.5%, according to RP Data. The gross rental yield does not consider the costs of maintaining the property, including council rates and other fees such as water bills and managing agent fees.
Washington Brown estimates the first-year tax depreciation deduction to be $6,000 and over five years to be $22,000.
The property will be open for inspection Saturday, June 16 at 9am and will go to auction Saturday, June 30 at 10am.

The tenants of this two-bedroom Ashburton house are paying $1,560 per month and are on a month-to-month lease. Tim Dwyer agent Natalie Hall says this is about at market rent for the area, considering the house is "fairly original", and the tenants are keen to stay on. The house is on a 635-square-metre block of land and includes a bungalow or third bedroom. It is close to a newly completed adventure playground.
Hall is marketing the property with price hopes of $650,000 plus, and if it sells for $650,000 that would secure an investor a gross rental yield of 2.9%, about at the indicative gross rental yield of 2.9% for Ashburton houses, according to RP Data. The gross rental yield does not consider the costs of maintaining the property, including council rates and other fees such as water bills and managing agent fees.
