Rent-to-Sell is compatible with standard investment properties in QLD and NSW with initial values between $500,000 to $1m.
PublicSquare helps you acquire a high quality affordable property that jointly matches your budget and the location of your preferred tenant.
Most of our tenants are pre-qualified and typically seeking properties between $600,000 and $850,000. So this is the budget range we suggest to our investor clientele.
The properties can be new or established, inside or outside your SMSF. They can be houses or apartments. However most tenants prefer houses.
The best part of all is that unlike other high-yielding strategies—such as NDIS, co-living, or dual occupancy—Rent-to-Sell does not require specialised builds.
That means the properties can end up costing you hundreds of thousands of dollars less to purchase compared with other schemes, while still delivering premium returns.
Occasionally, yes—but things tend to go much smoother when you purchase a property specifically for Rent-to-Sell.
If you already own a property you believe might be suitable, click the “Check if you qualify” button, answer “yes” to all questions, and mention your property during the call with our team.
Investors can use any broker or lender of their choice to source the requisite mortgage.
If necessary, we can also refer you to a suitable broker we use ourselves.
PublicSquare clients have achieved excellent results using the brokers recommended by our team.
Additionally, PublicSquare can help your brokers calculate serviceability by providing rental appraisals.
Yes, the rental component is treated just like a standard investment property.
Before the start of each lease year, a licensed property manager conducts a routine rental appraisal to determine the updated rental amount.
In the PublicSquare model, annual rent increases are capped at 4%—or the applicable state-based limit, whichever is lower.
The extra 50% weekly payments you received are fixed throughout the full lease term (up to 8-years) equalling 50% of the year-1 rental amount.
PublicSquare is a trusted platform for tenants, receiving over 2,000 applications per month.
Before you commit to purchasing a property, we pre-match you with a qualified tenant who pays an upfront payment to PublicSquare (giving them 'skin-in-the-game') so you’re never left wondering whether a tenant will be found.
If the tenant defaults on their lease after moving in, PublicSquare will source a replacement at no cost to you, drawing from our large pool of active applicants.
As the investor, you always retain full ownership of the property until it is sold.
So unless otherwise agreed, we can revalue the home and re-lease it under a new 8-year Rent-to-Sell agreement—again, at no additional charge.
This model significantly reduces vacancy risk and is designed to support long-term, stable, high-cashflow returns.
The Rent-to-Sell model preserves the standard tax benefits associated with investment property ownership.
If you’re typically eligible for deductions such as property depreciation, negative gearing, or capital gains tax (CGT) discounts, you can generally still claim them under this model.
That said, we strongly recommend speaking with your accountant to receive advice tailored to your individual tax situation.
PublicSquare has established robust procedures to support all potential lease outcomes.
If tenants are facing financial hardship, we work within the bounds of local tenancy laws to help get them back on track.
If, despite these efforts, the tenant is unable to continue with their payments and must vacate the property, the investor retains full title ownership of the property with no further obligations to the tenant.
Your ongoing costs—like mortgage repayments, council rates, and insurance—are no different from any standard investment property.
The fees we charge for property management and real estate services are comparable to, or even lower than, traditional agencies—despite offering significantly more value.
Rent-to-Sell isn’t for everyone.
Everyone’s circumstances are different, and we don’t provide financial advice. But in our view, Rent-to-Sell is designed for investors who value certainty, cashflow, and secured upside—not just open-ended speculation.
It’s a complete package with a powerful set of incentives.
As for the future price range—It’s not a compromise. For seasoned investors, it’s often the feature they value most.
You lock in a guaranteed future sale price range—regardless of what the market does—with plenty of room for upside.
The top of that range is still highly profitable, and based on historical data, most investment properties won’t reach that level within the same timeframe anyway—especially after a surge like the one we saw post-COVID.
