Hey Andrew

I’m from Perth originally – while I was living there I was using Corey Batt (@cjaysa on these forums) who is in Adelaide. I was able to get everything done by phone and email for several purchases.

Christies Beach is an area we manage, and is a pretty nice spot. I’ve looked at a couple of properties there for myself too. There’s an interesting transformation going on there – Beach Rd used to be tattoo parlours and op shops and now has wine bar and yoga place… it’s gradual and will take years, but seems to be going in the right direction.

Hi Jono,

You’re definitely on the right track if you’re 24 and looking to invest, well done. The advantages of having / using like minded professionals who invest themselves and know each are infinite. It really streamlines the process a lot.

The meetups that Corey linked are well worth coming to, they’re usually over a counter meal and a beverage, informal, agenda-less, etc but good way to meet other investors in Adelaide.

Any areas on your radar so far?

You’re on a fixed lease, there’s nothing to worry about. Both the lease document and the tenant are inherited by the purchaser as is. The only part that is not inherited is the property manager, the purchase can go with their chosen one and is under no obligation to use the existing one.

So, if the owner does want you to move out, they can do this by mutual agreement (meaning you and them both agree on moving out, usually in exchange for a negotiated amount of compensation involved)

Hi :)

It’s pretty hard to tell because every year is different and so is every suburb. Look at Sydney a few years ago – it went side ways for about 5 years. And then had bumper years.

Here in Adelaide the growth is generally slower but steadier but no one has a crystal ball on future might bring – it could half or double tomorrow.

You could probably use 5% for the purpose of modelling as long as you know the limitations of modelling.

Yes, using ones that are investors themselves is very wise – much more likely to be good if they have skin in the game too.

Its too unpredictable what the outcomes of such a change could be.
I wouldn’t strategise around it, just keep investing to deliberately and purposefully make money.

Hi @dwayne86

I started off pretty similarly to you. When i first started, I could barely afford houses in any suburb, so did look at units for the same reason you are but end up getting a house and stuck with houses ever since.

I also wrote an article on cashflow vs capital growth for Your Investment Property magazine, which seems relevant to your question – I put a pdf version link to it here http://www.dtproperty.com.au/is-your-property-manager-an-investor-themselves/

Hi Michael,

Generally the PPOR will have 2 loans on it, one is for the PPOR itself which is being paid down and the other (which could be a LOC but doesnt have to be) will be for deposits on investment properties. Both of these have to be with the same lender.

The remaining 80-90% of the investment property purchase (since 10-20% has come from the above) can be with same lender if you like or a different one. e

Talking to an investment savvy broker who focuses on investors and invests himself is probably the best option, that way they can guide you in the correct direction. Talking to Corey above would be a great example of this.

Cheers,
Dave

Definitely keep it split from investment vs personal use – but preferably if you know the exact amounts needed then have the investment portions split for ease of accounting.
Pulling out that amount of funds will depend on the lender, some will restrict equity pulls greater than 50k, others will allow 500k without blinking an eye.
In the last month I’ve pushed through two at ~1mil a piece, in the current APRA constrained environment.
As always, use an investment focussed broker to ensure you current and future lending is working towards your investment goals than against it.

Yup, pretty much everything this guy says ^

It can vary a lot.

In general… any place you built (or new vacant land you created) will attract GST if sold in its first 5 years of ‘creation’. You can minimise the amount by using the Margin Scheme but you have to have already been registered for GST prior. The margin scheme essentially means you pay GST on the profit rather than the revenue, so for example selling one of the units for $250k with $50k profit means you’d pay $25k GST(10% of revenue) without margin scheme or $5k GST (10% of profit) with the margin scheme.

The older places will be subject to CGT, with 50% discount available if held for 12 months. A whole bunch of calculations are involved, including the acquisition costs, selling costs, whether it was your home for any period during time of ownership, etc.

There’s lots of sums and circumstances that get weighed into this – probably best to go see your tax guy.

It’s fairly basic, there’s calculators available on https://treasury.qld.gov.au/taxes-royalties-grants/duties/index.php where you can punch your numbers in and see.

All of those fields are involved in developing. Building as well. Perhaps do some in each.

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words :)

I’ve uploaded a copy of just the 4 pages I was involved in, but if you’ve seen the magazine you’ll see its part of a much larger theme being cashflow vs capital growth. They’ve profiled me as the capital growth case study, wrote a bit about my investing journey / philosophy and listed the properties my better half and I own.

Let me know what you think, I’ll put my bullet proof vest on :cool:

I’ve attached it here:
