INVESTMENT ANGLE – MAKE THE SPACE WORK FOR YOU
At an asking price of R150,000, this property offers a relatively low-cost opportunity to own commercial space in a central Durban location.
If rented out, the investment can potentially generate a monthly income stream.
For example:
Potential Monthly Rental Annual Gross Rental Gross Yield*
R1,500 p/m R18,000 p/a 12.0%
R2,000 p/m R24,000 p/a 16.0%
R2,500 p/m R30,000 p/a 20.0%
R3,000 p/m R36,000 p/a 24.0%
Gross yield calculation: Annual rental income ÷ R150,000 purchase price × 100.
These figures are illustrative scenarios, not guaranteed rental returns. When calculating the property's net return on investment, consider actual achievable rental, vacancy periods, rates, maintenance, insurance, taxes, and other ownership costs.
That said, the relatively low purchase price means even a modest monthly rental can produce an attractive gross rental yield.
WHY BUY WHEN YOU CAN RENT?
For an owner-occupier, purchasing lets you own the premises you operate from, rather than paying rent to a landlord.
For an investor, the strategy is different: buy at an accessible entry price, secure a suitable tenant and generate rental income, while retaining ownership of the underlying property.
The location, secure environment, established office presence and relatively low acquisition price make this worth considering for small businesses, professionals and investors looking for an affordable commercial property in Durban.
A SMALL OFFICE WITH BIGGER POSSIBILITIES.
