Hi, I am 33 years old and have a large lump sum saved up.

I am currently working abroad (not an overly secure job) and probably looking to come back home to Ireland in next 2-4 years.

I am looking to invest half of the lump some in a cash flow producing asset so when I return to Ireland I won't be stuck for income and will have some flexibility with working hours etc.



I am looking at maybe purchasing a rental property (4 bed townhouse) in the center of the Cork city with cash savings.

Would be great to get some feedback on my investment plan if possible.

  • Townhouse is relatively new build (2003), great condition, highly respected builder.
  • Low prop maintenance fees.
  • In center of the city, great location.
  • Have flexibility of short term rentals, university student rentals or yearly rentals.
  • Would happily live in the property on my return to Ireland if required.
  • Yields around 9% currently
  • Have family that live close by and can help with management if required
  • Purchase would be for the long term (forever really)

Any feedback on whether this is a good investment option, from experienced property investors would be great. Thanks.
