S.W.O.T Analysis

Strengths? – Well located building, situated in the middle of the Benoni CBD. It is also close to all Transport facilities, Trains, buses, and taxis.

There is a lot of extra Municipal Parking 100m away

Weaknesses? – This will not suit any Businesses which require a lot of personal parking. Even though there are Municipal parking areas within a block away.

Opportunities? – Attracting more businesses that are aimed at students would fill the vacant spaces. Benoni CBD is going through a big transformation.

Threats? – Ensure a proper background check on tenants is done.

Conclusion as to why this is a good property to purchase:

This building is managed properly and has a very good income of above a 10% yield.

To build a new one 7 stories high would be much more expensive.
