Case Example: Investment Property in Townsville, QLD

<h2>Rent-to-Sell Property in Townsville</h2><h3>Introduction</h3>The proprietors of a delightful residence in Townsville found themselves at a crossroads, and it was PublicSquare that offered them a unique and beneficial solution. Introduced to us through one of our esteemed referral partners, the couple had initially purchased their property back in 2014.

Yet, the prospect of high marketing expenses and substantial sales commissions was far from appealing. Despite the unexpected financial burdens of property ownership, their desire was to continue earning a return on their investment and ultimately, achieve a profitable outcome.<br><br><h3>The Property</h3>A spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom abode, nearing a decade in age and sitting on a generous 695sqm block.
