Why Blackwater - Blackwater sits at the centre of Queensland's Bowen Basin coal region. With a population just under 5,000, rental demand stays consistently strong as workers, families, and essential service staff compete for limited housing stock. Properties in mining-adjacent towns like this have historically offered yields that metro investors can only dream about.
The Property - This is a straightforward, low-maintenance home with long term tenants who are very happy living there. Three bedrooms, a combined living and dining area, a functional kitchen with new stove and oven, solid bench and storage space, and a separate laundry. Four air-conditioning units keep the place comfortable through Central Queensland summers, which matters when you want tenants to stay long-term and look after the place.
A covered carport protects vehicles from the elements, and the 708m² block gives the property breathing room without creating a maintenance headache. The location is practical with Woolworths and the local school both a short walk away, which ticks the convenience boxes that tenants prioritise when choosing where to live.
