    Just wondering if there is a easy formula to figure out if a property is going to be positive or negative geared ? 

    Or a checklist of some sort I am just trying to go through properties and see If they are a positive dental return

    Do you want easy or accurate?

    Easy- Look at rental yield. It needs to be at least 1% higher than the interest rate (very rough).

    I like to work on real figures.

    Costs out- interest, land and water rates, management fees, strata (if applicable)

    Costs in – rent. You can also add depreciation)

    See if it puts money in your pocket or takes it out. Quite quick to work out really. Of course it doesn't take into account maintenance etc.

    There are a few spreadsheets floating around that you can just put the figures in and it works it out for you.

    A lot of it comes down to what sort of income you have and what you can afford to buy. Frankly in Australia if the property is positive in many cases the growth will be low. If you are going to buy a property which is negatively geared then you have to make sure that the capital growth is strong enough to cover your losses.

    Nigel Kibel, you are clearly not in the same property market as the rest of us. Our clients are getting at least 5.2% Yield + 8-12% p.a. Capital Growth

    Hi Arun

    Why's that?

    If the property is providing me with decent growth – I'm not going to be too concerned about it costing a bit to hold onto. 

    It all comes down to the individuals longer term strategy.

    Different strokes for different folks I suppose.

    Cheers

    Dear Renren,

    Let me explain you a property is negatively geared and negative cash flow.

    Property value at $120,000

    Loan on the property $95,000

    Annual rental return $6240

    Interest on loan=$4920

    Total all other expenses excluding depreciation = $4070

    Total cash flow loss=$6240-$4920-$4070=$2750

    Depreciation=$4500

    Taxable loss=$7250

    Tax percentage 35%

    Tax Refund=$2538

    Cash return after tax (-)$212

    The last  thing you want is negative cash flow after tax.

    Dear Renren,

    It is all about knowledge and informed decision. No business is without risk but if risks are known and benefits out weight them , then business is worth.

    Ignorance in business about risk is no no.

    JacM & Qld007, 

    You are being unkind. I am very sure you can work out the intention of Arun's post, even if it's sentence structure is outside of the normal Australian vernacular. I personally are enjoying Arun's enthusiasm for the forum.

    Mark it is not a matter if being unkind or not wanting Arun to post but is more a matter of monitoring the content to ensure it is suitable.

    I have spoken to Arun about his posts and reminded him of the rules if the forum (same as I did to you when you joined).

    My concern for other members is when I see continual blatant advertising or obvious self promotion and requesting to members contact him.

    I monitor all posts to ensure that any advice given is of a general nature unless the person is suitably qualified to provide more specific advice.

    Not a case if being unkind to any one member but more a case of trying to protect the wider investing community.

    Cheers

    Yours in Finance

    Further to what Richard said, it is very worrying how much incorrect information Arun is posting. He is a person offering broking services it seems. We know only too well how catastrophic it can be when someone’s finances are not set up correctly. The forums are supposed to help people make their position better – not worse. As TerryW said in a separate thread… he’s dangerous

    Richard, Jac,

    Let's stay ON subject here: Arun said "It is all about knowledge and informed decision" which means to me: It's all about knowledge and making an informed decision". Which is 100% correct in all cases to with anything to do in life. 

    Next "No business is without risk, but if risks are known and benefits out weight them, then business is worth." which means to me: No business is without risk, but if the risks are known and benefit out way the risks then the business is worth proceeding with
