Ron Bakir offering six weeks rent free for Rockhampton investment property

Entrepreneur Ron Bakir, the founder and CEO of HomeCorp Group, is offering six weeks rent free for a tenant for his investment property near Rockhampton in Queensland.

The Zilzie four bedroom home cost Bakir $290,000 in 2010.

It is priced at $290 a week for a 12 month lease, considerably less than its peak $410 a week rental in 2012.

Bakir, who established the mobile phone chain Crazy Ron, hit national headlines when he bankrolled Schapelle Corby's defence when she was imprisoned in 2005.

He has just found a tenant for a Surfers Paradise investment where he is based.

Bakir's lavish Chevron Renassaince penthouse remains on the market.

The sprawling two level penthouse spanning over 1000 sqm of space has four bedrooms, a wine tasting area, gym and sauna and took two years to create.
