But investors who know what they’re doing? They’re paying attention to Lynnwood, and [The Dawn](https://platform.easyproperties.co.za/properties/property/53) might just be a prime example of why. Here’s why this new development is getting investor buzz. **Is This a Buy-and-Hold or a Flip?** Property investing has two approaches: flipping for short-term gains or holding for long-term appreciation. ![null](https://properties.easyequities.co.za/hs-fs/hubfs/EasyProperties/The%20Dawn/The%20Dawn%20(17).jpg?width=2319&height=1565&name=The%20Dawn%20(17).jpg) Lynnwood is an established, high-demand area, so this one leans toward the second option. If history is any indicator, property values here keep climbing and a well-located investment like this has the potential to grow in value. ** Fewer Vacant Months** The number one thing investors hate? Properties that sit empty. Fortunately, The Dawn is in one of Pretoria’s most rental-friendly areas. Who’s looking for rentals here? ✅ Students (The University of Pretoria is 10 minutes away) ✅ Young professionals (Close to business hubs and easy access to major roads) ✅ Diplomats & academics (Lynnwood is near embassies & top schools) **It’s Future-Proofed with Modern Features** Not all apartments age well, but [The Dawn](https://platform.easyproperties.co.za/properties/property/53) is designed to stay in-demand for years to come. It’s got: - Sleek, modern designs - Fibre internet, because Wi-Fi is non-negotiable - 24/7 security  ![null](https://properties.easyequities.co.za/hs-fs/hubfs/EasyProperties/The%20Dawn/The%20Dawn%20-%20Unit%2011%20(42).jpg?width=2346&height=1565&name=The%20Dawn%20-%20Unit%2011%20(42).jpg) ![null](https://properties.easyequities.co.za/hs-fs/hubfs/EasyProperties/The%20Dawn/The%20Dawn%20(15).jpg?width=2348&height=1565&name=The%20Dawn%20(15).jpg) Backup Power: Because Load Shedding is Still a Thing Let’s face it, although they've taken a hiatus of late power cuts are likely something we'll have to live with for the foreseeable future. [The Dawn](https://platform.easyproperties.co.za/properties/property/53) comes with backup power, which means tenants can keep working, studying, and streaming even when Eskom does its thing. In 2025, properties with backup energy solutions aren’t just nice-to-haves, they’re must-haves for attracting long-term tenants. **Capital Growth and Rental Yield** Buying in a sought-after area means your property is more likely to grow in value over time - 10.2% Internal Rate of Return (IRR)  - 7.84% net rental yield  - 10% discount for EasyProperties investors = buy-in below market value ** Verdict: Worth It?** The answer is never a simple yes or no. Well, one thing we can say is that if Pretoria wasn’t on your radar before, now might be a good time to take another look. 👀 Please note that the offer ends on February 28, 2025. --- #### How to Access Property Reports We understand that keeping track of your investments is important, and we make it easy for you to access detailed reports.

All trades on the EasyProperties platform are subject to the legal terms and conditions to which you agree to be bound. The EasyProperties platform enables users to invest in securities which includes whole shares and fractional share rights (FSRs). EasyProperties acts an agent for the issue of whole shares, where the investor is the registered owner of those shares, entitled to dividends, participation in corporate actions and all the economic benefits and risks associated with share ownership. In respect of FSRs, EasyEquities acts as principal to a contract for difference issued to the investor, where the investor will have a contractual claim against EasyEquities to the economic benefits and risks associated with share ownership (price movements and dividends) without having ownership rights in the underlying share. Fractional share rights (FSRs) which are issued through a contract for difference, are an over the counter derivative. Unlike whole shares, FSRs do not carry any voting rights. As the investor makes further investments in FSRs and ultimately ends up with a whole share, the contract for difference is closed out and ownership whole share is delivered to the investor. The availability of any share on the EasyProperties platform is based on various factors but is not an indication of value and does not mean that any share is an appropriate investment for you. The value of a share is not guaranteed. The value can go down as well as up due to variable market factors. An investor may not recoup the full amount invested. Past performance is not necessarily an indication of future performance.
