I agree with your view as it would bleed more cash out now, for the thought of making more gain on the value of the property which is questionable at this stage. The rent is very low due to the current market conditions in Perth. The tenants are on a lease just to cover the outgoings (i.e. property held for capital growth purposes).

I was away on work and just got back. Thanks for getting back to me. I understand now what you are trying to convey.

As Property B is the one which is clearly non-performing on a larger scale, i will consider on its sale. There may not be much received from selling Property B as the market value is very close to the loan payout (plus…[Read more]

Benny – True, I am indeed in a highly geared position at the moment and Property B is the main culprit. In this market, spending $30k or more on a renovation for Property B will not increase the amount of desired equity and will also provide negligible amount of increased rent.

I have 2 investment properties in Perth, WA. The strategy I used so far was buying old properties with large land content for capital growth.
Property A – rezoned from R20 to R40 in April 2016 (Loan $510k, Value $600k, Rent $420 p.w, 680 sq.m).
Property B – possible rezoning from R20…[Read more]

That is how I can currently see me achieving the desired outcome of leaving my job. The areas where the properties are to be picked would be selected based on population growth expectations, transport, infrastructure, mining,…[Read more]

The way I thought is that first i would look at the outcome desired (i.e. positive cash flow), then look at the strategy and then last the property itself. However, where I am getting stuck is the strategy to achieve the outcome with the amount of funds on hand. Any thoughts?

Yes, the reason I bought the investment was to demolish and build units when the rezoning occurs. The homework and due diligence on this was carried out before purchasing.

I will incorporate your suggestion after step 4 below:

1. To start searching for populations in towns in WA greater than 10,000 people (I have this on hand now) – DONE
2. Search for properties via realestate.com.au in each location one by one (say Town A) – DONE
3. Call some real estate agents within the Town to…[Read more]

Totally correct about the amount to bucket in each year. But there must be a way to get into property using no money down deals and achieve the desired yields

I agree that 15k is not enough and I am working on it to increase the initial deposit requirements. However, I was considering doing no money down deals to speed up in the meantime. The difficult part I am finding is how to find positive cash flow deals coupled with no money down deals. Just cant get my head around this…[Read more]

Whilst this is not easy, others have achieved this and that is why I am trying to see what avenues are possible to reach this goal.

I have checked the value of the property i am residing  which i bought 2 years ago, The value has gone up by approx $60k, however that has only taken my LVR from 95% to 86%. Not much to use from equity. The 2nd property,I purchased about 4 months ago, more like development potential due to potential rezoning to occur in 2-3 years…[Read more]

Thanks for your comments. I acknowledge that capital growth potential is the main wealth creation avenue, however at this stage, I am trying to look for ways to supplement/replace my work income so that I can leave work and continue investing in capital growth properties. The replacement of income is why I thought of buying positive…[Read more]
