- Do house and land packages make investment grade?
- How important is the location?

- What about your property strategy?
- Is everyone’s definition of investment grade different?
When buying a property, while there is no hard and fast number, because it depends on many factors, having 50%+ of the property’s value in the land would typically be considered good. The theory is basically that land appreciates and buildings depreciate – so having a building on a very cheap block may not deliver the results you want. If the land value is $100k, even a sharp 20% rise in land values doesnāt move the needle much. Noting Amyās point that investment grade for one person might be different for another depending on circumstances. – Pete Wargent, Buyer’s Agent.
