Built-out beachside scarcity with the peninsula's strongest rent-trajectory signal — 8.3% rent growth — a deep 41% rental base and 13:1 room demand, all beside Redcliffe Hospital and the retail strip. Five-year price CAGR 12.6% at a $1.005m entry.
Break-ins run +15.9% above average (82nd percentile), the landlord-insurance driver, and yield is thin at ~3.4% ($650/wk). Older post-war/1980s stock carries upkeep the LRBA can't fund.
Foreshore storm-tide/SLR and erosion overlays are the structural overhang — a rising insurance cost on fund liquidity — resolvable only street-by-street via Flood Check.
A scarcity-plus-rent-momentum hold that ties for the peninsula's best future outlook: works for an SMSF that buys newer stock on a dry, higher street and prices in the property-crime insurance loading. The rent trajectory is the reason to prefer it over Clontarf.
