Buy to invest

Looking to invest in property in the Southern Suburbs? Diep River is an excellent property investment still offering a substantial capital growth opportunity! Why?

The location: as property prices in the cape have seen consistent growth over the last 3 – 5 years, many popular suburbs have become very expensive. Diep river’s location provides great value for a modest price, and is poised for strong capital growth in the coming years, as well as offering attractive initial rental returns.

Low risk: according to research done by propstats, Diep River is an “overlooked suburb” and holds promise of long-term capital appreciation.

Co-living: flyt has recognised that an innovative co-living solution will provide consistent real returns to property investors.

From the investor’s point of view, rentals and returns are increased by furnishing and letting apartments on a per room basis. These apartments form part of a well-managed rental pool, where all the admin is taken care of and single-tenant vacancy risks are eliminated.

Eaton Square is Diep River’s first co-living development, and we want you to get in on the ground floor! Eaton Square is a new way to experience a beautiful life at a beautiful price  in the Constantia Valley

Eaton Square’s rental pool qualifies as a Section 12J Investment, allowing investors to write off 100% of the investment amount for tax purposes. See 12J section for more info.

What is Section 12J?

• Section 12J of the Income Tax Act enables investors to deduct 100% of their investments in a registered  Section 12J entity for tax purposes.
• This means that: SARS will finance up to 45% of the investment (depending on the investor’s tax rate)
• Any entities are elegible, including individuals, Trusts and Companies
• Investment is made via a Section 12J entity, (investors are shareholders rather than owning the unit outright)
• A section 12J investment at EATON SQUARE requires a minimum investment of R1 M

Why Does Section 12J Exist?

SARS introduced the incentive to stimulate investment into businesses that create jobs and grow the economy. EATON SQUARE qualifies for this incentive as it is a managed solution including a full range of services.
