    Dean…

    Well done.. thats thinking outside the box…
    A little off the topic, but how do the tenant separate the electricity usage etc ??

    Midland… Is your block a development block also??

    Its very unlikely your gonna find positive cash flow properties in Perth…
    There going to have to be country properties…

    And they are out there…

    Ive seen afew properties in WA… costing 100k with weekly rental of $300pw.. easily meets the 11sec rule..but after a little investigation into the town… was far too risky for me, in the long term…

    As with any investment… theres a relationship with Risk and Return…

    Just keep on getting more and more information about areas, towns etc… Shouldnt take you too long before you find a prop that meets all your criteria…

    No its not positive cash flow…
    once you factor in all the cash you’ll out lay it will be costing you money..
    e.g.
    insurance, prop manager fee, repairs, etc etc

    BUT it does cover the mortgage payments at current interest rates…

    rest is pretty much as Mick INC stated…

    You suspect correctly…
    you may come out positive, if you have a huge depsoit and loads of depreciation… MAYBE…
    but other than that go country… even then I have to say theres slim pickings…

    Just keep on hunting… Good luck…

    Thanks crew…

    Simon has been kind enough to run the numbers… So i’ll have some independant information…

    Will definitely be wary when dealing with these “mortgage minimisation” people…

    “Is someone trying to sell you a Mortgage Minimisation scheme?”

    Simon

    Yes… thats right.. but Im not sure if what there telling me is completely correct… obviously she’ll be pushing her product, so I wanted to do some calc’s of my own.

    From the links on the net .. e.g infochoice, westpac, it look like even though I’ll be on a much higher interest rate, I’d still be better off…

    But like Westan says, these may be exagerated.

    Confused…

    SIS

    Yep plan to hold… its my PPOR…

    Surely there is a way to make an educated estimate based on monthly income directly put into loan, and average monthly expenses taken out. with different interest rates scenarios…

    Dave

    55k and 110pw is quite common to find…
    Whats the rental market there like??
    Is the population growing/stable??
    Whats the cap growth there like??

    Its those properties returning 12.5%+ which are out there but harder to find…
    In the past few months ive seen in WA
    19k 75pw.
    55k 170pw
    55k 130pw
    65k 180pw
    65k 120pw
    85k 240pw
    90k 200pw
    100k 300pw
    115k 280pw
    so they are out there… but consider the risk vs return…
    I didnt go any further with any of these… as for me I felt is was too risky..
    Im still hunting too…

    The closing costs are calculated by:

    IF deposit is greater than or equal to 20% of purchase price then the closing cost Ive put down is 5%, if the deposit is less then its 2.5% of the purchase price…

    Pretty general…but good for a rough guide.

    BTW its Kelvin not kevin : )
