The most SMSF-operational stock on the list: mostly post-2010 houses — minimal repairs and depreciation schedules still running — plus a station, high ground, and 18.9% growth.
Amenity leans on North Lakes, and the Griffin/Dakabin corridor keeps adding competing rental stock.
61.5% of the suburb is rentals: you compete for tenants on the oversupplied side of the market, and the exit is largely to other investors — the thinnest resale on the list.
Operationally easy, strategically crowded. The new-stock cash-flow profile suits an LRBA hold, but investor saturation caps rent pricing power and exit depth. A fallback, not a first choice.
| Dimension | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Capital growth | ✓ Good | 14.1% compound over 5 yrs, 18.9% last 12m. Past growth is already in the price — sustaining it depends on the supply picture below. trend data (this DB) |
| Rental yield | ◐ Mixed | 3.6% gross — expect contribution top-ups at LRBA rates; losses stay trapped in the fund at 15%. PropTrack via suburb page |
| Flood risk | ✓ Good | Mostly elevated with minor overlays only. Council flood mapping |
| Crime | ◐ Mixed | Mid-pack for the corridor. QPS crime map |
| Infrastructure | ◐ Mixed | Station but thin local retail; depends on North Lakes for services. editorial |
| Owner-occupier appeal | ✗ Bad | 38% owned / 62% rented, 74% family households — investor-dominated: deep tenant competition, investor-only resale, and more stock listed in downturns. ABS via suburb page |
| New supply risk | ✗ Bad | Griffin/Dakabin corridor estates still delivering — and 61% of existing homes are rentals (investor-saturated). editorial; ABS via property.com.au |
| Distance to rail | ✓ Good | Dakabin station on the Caboolture line. Translink network |
| Housing stock & upkeep | ✓ Good | Mostly post-2010 builds — low upkeep. editorial — stock-age judgment |
