Crohamhurst is a smaller community of 219 — about 4% of the Queensland suburb median (5,474) — so investors should factor in the narrower buyer pool and longer average time-on-market. Household income of $78,728/year is 13% below the Queensland median of $90,298, typically translating into lower entry prices and a tenant base more sensitive to rent increases. Rent of $350/week (88% coverage of the $1,733/month median mortgage) leaves a gap of roughly $216/month that a typical investor bridges with negative gearing, depreciation and capital growth. Crohamhurst is 75 km from Brisbane, so the local market tracks regional employment and lifestyle drivers more than CBD-driven commuter demand.

The median monthly mortgage repayment in Crohamhurst is $1,733, or approximately $20,796/year (vs $1,733/month state median). Stress-test your own borrowing at rates 1–2 percentage points above today's to make sure you can still service the loan through an RBA tightening cycle.
A median weekly rent of $350 works out to $1,517/month, covering 88% of the median mortgage repayment of $1,733/month. That leaves a $216/month shortfall (around $2,592/year before tax benefits), so a typical owner-occupier-priced property here is negatively geared. Actual cash flow depends on your deposit, loan terms, ownership costs and marginal tax rate — run the full numbers in our rental yield calculator.
The main risks are a thin buyer pool (219 residents), interest-rate sensitivity on the $1,733 median mortgage, the broader Queensland market cycle. Each of these is covered in the Risk Factors section above with suburb-specific numbers rather than generic warnings.
