Investment Property in Cork

Cork property investment can be a worthwhile venture if you are selective with the areas you choose to invest in. If not, you could find that your investment suffers due to low rental yields, dwindling demand, and slow property price growth in many parts of Cork .

The financial stability of Cork has translated into a real estate market that rewards forward planning and a willingness to look beyond areas of traditional affluence.

Buy to Rent in Cork

Renting out your Cork buy-to-rent investment property can grow wealth and income.

Whatever your goals with investment property in Cork are – preparation is key.

• Set goals based on how much rental yield will be required and the local rental yield rates in Cork and be prepared to change your initial outlook.
• Thoroughly research the Cork location with a special emphasis on fringe areas outside the main Cork metropolis that may be valued lower than their better-known neighbors. Rental yields of around 5% are still attainable in certain areas of Cork.
• Ensure that your target investment property in Cork appeals to professionals. This is a demographic that ensures maximum income and low voids.
• Finding and vetting suitable tenants is a job ideally left to the professionals. Working with an established letting agent with local knowledge and experience of property legislation will give you the best chance of success.

The Flipping Strategy in Cork

Investment property flipping in Cork is a simple strategy. You find a property that is in need of renovation from our list and purchase it for a low price. These type of Cork real estate investments are sometimes referred to by professionals as ‘distressed’ Cork real estate.

What is distressed Cork property:

• Cork property in need of renovation
• Cork real estate with a change of purpose and use
• Oversold Cork property
• Bank repossessions in Cork

Put simply, long term investors in Cork purchase the property, renovate it and make it a lot more attractive to potential buyers.

Calculate profit that you make from Cork investment property flipping:

Final Selling Price less Cost of Purchase less Costs = Profit

Here is an example:

Cork property purchase price: $220,000

Renovation costs: $20,000

Other costs: $25,000

Property sale price: $400,000

Profit: $135,000

Experienced property developers in Cork use a minimum profit value of 22% when looking at potential Cork projects.

The reason for this is because there are lots that can go wrong in Cork property flipping and working on a potential margin of 22% should still leave a good margin of error.
