Of the many property strategies investors have available to them, investing in house and land packages is arguably one of the least stressful options. That’s a consideration worth focusing on. We all know someone who invested in a property which ended up becoming a money pit or involving a tenant nightmare. Those stories rarely end well for investors.

The main reason house and land packages are low stress is that you are buying a brand-new asset which means the house and fixtures have many maintenance-free years ahead. That also means you’re well positioned to have happy tenants who don’t end up regularly on the phone with you or your property manager to request maintenance. Ask most property investors, and they’ll tell you that having a healthy and happy relationship with your tenants is hugely beneficial for your own stress levels.

With house and land packages, you also have the peace of mind that comes with the comprehensive warranties and guarantees available. Most new home builders commit to fixing anything not working within the first twelve months, so you know your maintenance costs will be at or close to zero in the first year, and probably for the few years following that. Once again, it’s a low stress position to be in.

Landen’s Director Rashed Panabig believes most property investors should focus more on their future stress-levels: ‘One of the keys to being able to successfully own property for the long term, and thus to creating significant wealth, is to own property in a low stress way which works for you. House and land packages like our Rouse Hill offerings are particularly well-matched to investors who want a low stress, long term strategy.’
