Why invest in property?
With so many investment opportunities out there, why should you choose a property investment?
To generate income
Many investors choose property for capital growth. They buy a home or parcel of land with the intention of selling it later when the market has moved upwards. If you’re in no hurry, you might choose to rent out your property while you wait for the market to rise, so it’s generating income and cash flow.
Tax deduction benefits
There are several tax deductions you may be eligible for from your investment property when tax time rolls around. The interest on your loan, council rates, water charges, land tax and even maintenance can all be claimed within the financial year. Find the full list on the ATO website.
It's less complicated
Unlike other investments (such as the stock market) investing in real estate doesn’t require a wealth of specialised knowledge. This is particularly true when you choose Zara, as we work with you to understand and achieve your investment goals answering any questions you have along the way.
Your investment is tangible
Many people take comfort in gaining something real and tangible when they invest a large sum of money. Having an investment property that you can actually see, touch and visit helps to ease any anxiety you might have when investing.
“We needed to spend as little time as possible on this development. And if someone wants to do as little as possible and get great results, then I say build with Zara.” Chris and Nicole - Melbourne
Four reasons to invest in a new build
Peace of mind
Your property and new appliances will likely be under a warranty.
Rental returns
You may achieve higher rental returns, attract better tenants and enjoy lower vacancy rates.
Depreciation benefits
There’ll be a higher claimable depreciation value on the home – find out more from the ATO.
No wasted space
Use the land to its full potential – particularly with a knockdown rebuild or dual occupancy.

What do the National Construction Code changes mean for you?
As Australia strides towards its 2050 net zero emissions target, various aspects of everyday life, including the construction industry, are adapting. Whether you're constructing a new home from the ground up or renovating an existing one, changes are underway.
Women are the future of a robust construction industry and Zara’s building pathways
As Australia’s leading home builder, we have an essential role to play in increasing women’s access to the industry and facilitating the flow on effect their inclusion on our sites has in improving whole-of-workplace culture. That’s why our Queensland office has teamed up with the Housing Industry Association (HIA) to forge a fantastic new opportunity empowering ten young women based in the Sunshine State, by connecting them to a 12-week pre-apprenticeship program with our trusted contractors.
