Nautilus 4 Marina Drive

Selling below replacement cost and bringing in over 5.5% net return consistently, with plenty of room to improve further. The owner has recently spent over $300,000 replacing the roof to current building codes and painting the home internally and externally, so the large expenditure is complete. Now it just needs some creative styling to maximise the already healthy rental returns.
