We were in a similar position about 3 years ago, we built our PPOR in Adelaide and then realised that it maybe wasn’t such a great idea. So we sold up and started renting a 2bd unit. Benefits of doing this is that our rent at this stage is less than what a mortgage repayment would be, is partially tax deductible (because we have a home…[Read more]

Advantage is our rent is partially tax deductible…[Read more]

Not sure how other investors value land but we do it as we would valuate a house.

Look at the sales history reports for land sold in that suburb (you can get this off RP Data or UpMarket or if you haven’t got subscriptions to these just ask a real estate agent to print one off for you…some are reluctant to do this but most shouldn’t have a…[Read more]

Also if purely a reno and you finish ahead of schedule, you may decide to rent it out whilst waiting for it to be sold. So with this…[Read more]

We self manage some of our properties and have until recently given tenants our BSB and account number for them to deposit money into our account however the bookkeeping and chasing up of rent was a nightmare until we discovered Ezi Debit (www.ezidebit.com.au) They essentially are a third party that direct debits the rent from the…[Read more]

We’ve only ever had to advertise in the Newspapers once or twice and we didn’t get a single phone call out of it so we’ve stopped doing that.

We also get a few through word of mouth.
