Gold Coast Council says very clear that you cannot separately rent-out a granny flat in the Gold Coast Municipality.
Can I rent out main dwelling instead of granny flat? And live in granny flat myself?

I have permanent visa (independent skilled migrant) already so I don’t have any limitations in property.

I’m going to move in September-October.

I wanted to spend a few months for QLD market research after I arrive, because I don’t think I can buy quality CF+ property remotely.

Before I find a job in Australia I hope to continue…[Read more]

Who is usually the second participant of the agreement with onsite management in this case? Body corporate?

Today’s this 112 m2 property costs $115K that is significantly below Gold Coast average because it’s under a contract

Are you sure that the price will be the same without the contract that will end in 2022?

I’m not sure how much time will pass before I get a well-paid job…

I think 3-12 months at least, so for now PAYG is not an option :(

I have passive foreign income now and I don’t want to miss one an opportunity to double my money during next market collapse.

Maybe there’s any other way to get financing for IP or PPOR? Nodocs loan,…[Read more]

If this property costs above $250K it could be still a good investment

Cost: $115K+$3K*8years=$139K

Final cost in 2022:
$180K, compound annual ROI = 3.28%
$200K, ROI = 4.65%
$250K, ROI = 7.61%
$300K, ROI = 10.09%

So the question is what final 2022 price could be assuming 0% p.a. capital gains?

Help me calculate ROI for this investment please

How do you think what would be the approximate price of this property without a contract?

My estimate is $180-220K but I’m just a newbie :)

Short position on bonds (as well as any income assets) is quite expensive because you have to pay to lender 100% of income from these securities.

There are 10 years bond futures on ASX, maybe they will more appropriate solution because you don’t have to pay interest and get very nice leverage (25 to 1 or more) so you’ll need just $40K…[Read more]

Thank you so much for your reply and your help!

It was sad news that I can’t get financing immediately.
I had some IP experience at home (as a hobby) and wanted to buy IP in Australia as soon as I research local market good enough.

By the way, in european countries they usually give loans to foreigners but demand bigger down…[Read more]

Do NZ IPs have higher yield than AU ones?

NZD prime rate has been always higher than AUD and it theory it should be reflected in IP yields.

PS: I can’t recommend a NZ broker, sorry

Could you tell me if it is possible to rent out a main property and live in a granny flat myself?

I’m going to buy my first investment property in 2016 and it would be a nice opportunity to save more money for the 2nd one.
