Thinking about growing your wealth through real estate? You're not alone. More Australians are jumping into the property market, looking to take advantage of long-term capital gains, rental income and solid returns. And with interest rates constantly shifting, many are seeing the value of locking in new property opportunities sooner rather than later.
Building a brand-new home as an investment property has plenty of upside. You’ll get modern features that appeal to renters, fewer maintenance issues, and better tax deductions. And at Metricon, we make it easier to build with confidence. Our fixed-price options, smart designs and expert team help you make the most of your investment journey.
If you're looking to reduce delays and start earning rental income sooner, turnkey homes are worth a look. Metricon offers a wide range of fully finished, move-in ready properties. That includes flooring, fencing, landscaping, driveway, blinds and more.
That means you won’t have to coordinate extra trades after handover. You’ll have a finished product that’s ready to rent, complete with all the finishing touches tenants expect.
You also get a fixed price. So you can better plan for car loan repayments, retirement savings, or other commitments, and get peace of mind around budgeting.
Metricon’s house and land packages make investing simpler. You get a well-matched home and block in growing suburbs, plus clear build timelines and transparent pricing.
We’ve got flexible floorplans designed with tenants in mind, along with popular inclusions that make the homes easier to lease. Our packages are a strong option for first home investors looking to start small, and just as practical for experienced property owners wanting to grow their portfolio.
We also sell a range of fully upgraded display homes, which can deliver rental income right away.
We understand that time is money, especially when you’re investing. And with Invest by Metricon, our end-to-end investment program, you’ll have everything covered.

With so many investment opportunities out there, why should you choose a property investment?
Many investors choose property for capital growth. They buy a home or parcel of land with the intention of selling it later when the market has moved upwards. If you’re in no hurry, you might choose to rent out your property while you wait for the market to rise, so it’s generating income and cash flow.
There are several tax deductions you may be eligible for from your investment property when tax time rolls around. The interest on your loan, council rates, water charges, land tax and even maintenance can all be claimed within the financial year. Find the full list on the ATO website.
Unlike other investments (such as the stock market) investing in real estate doesn’t require a wealth of specialised knowledge. This is particularly true when you choose Metricon, as we work with you to understand and achieve your investment goals answering any questions you have along the way.
Many people take comfort in gaining something real and tangible when they invest a large sum of money. Having an investment property that you can actually see, touch and visit helps to ease any anxiety you might have when investing.
Looking to boost rental income or speed up capital growth? Our dual occupancy and multi-unit options let you get more out of your land. Build two or more dwellings on a single title and increase your cash flow without buying another block.
These builds are ideal for property investors focused on long-term gains. Plus, Metricon brings the design experience and planning knowledge to help you navigate approvals and maximise valuation outcomes. So you’re supported at every step.
Location plays a big part in any investment strategy. Choosing the right location can lead to better returns and fewer vacancies. That’s why we focus on building in high-growth areas with strong infrastructure, schools, transport and rental demand.
We build in some of the most sought-after suburbs across Sydney, Melbourne, and other major cities. These are areas where property values continue to climb, and where tenant demand stays strong. Check our locations to learn more about where we build in your area.

1. What are the tax benefits of investing in real estate?
Tax benefits include deductions on loan interest, depreciation, property management fees, landlord insurance, and more. Negative gearing can also offset losses against other income, which may reduce your overall tax bill. Always consult a financial adviser for advice based on your financial situation.
2. Should rental properties be in a trust to avoid multi-generational capital gains tax?
Owning a rental property through a trust may offer benefits like asset protection and flexible income distribution. However, it doesn’t automatically eliminate capital gains tax. A trust structure can be useful for estate planning, but it’s important to seek financial advice before deciding.
3. How do I evaluate the potential return on a rental property investment?
Look at your expected rental income, loan repayments, property management costs, and outgoings like insurance and maintenance. Factor in depreciation, tax deductions, and possible capital gains. A simple cash flow analysis can help determine your expected return.
4. Is it better to invest in single-family homes or multi-family properties?
Single-family homes may appeal to a wider tenant base and often have lower upfront costs. It’s also great for short-term rentals. While multi-family properties can offer higher rental income and better cash flow. The right choice depends on your investment strategy, budget, and the local property market.
5. Is it worth investing in a residential property?
Yes, for many Australians, residential property offers a stable and proven way to build wealth. With the right investment strategy, a new property can be a smart addition to your portfolio. The key is to choose the right property, structure your home loan wisely, and seek good advice along the way.
