24.01.2022 HILARIOUS AUCTION VIDEO During the past couple of years the media has been relentless in telling us how Sydney home prices have spiralled out of reach of ordinary wage earners. This hilarious (and slightly rude) video depicts a group of hapless buyers bidding at a Sydney property auction. ENJOY!... THE AUCTION A love letter to Sydney: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqXjP4PG_k8
23.01.2022 Experience Counts! When my car needs servicing, I take it to an authorised dealership because they have the skilled mechanics, high-tech equipment and genuine parts that are necessary to do the job properly. Im smart enough to know that I couldnt do the service as well myself. For similar reasons, I dont attempt to cut my own hair, do my own dental work or pretend that Im an electrician, a solicitor or an accountant. ... So, it always amuses me when I hear about amateur property investors who take investment advice from other novices like family and friends, or even complete strangers on internet blog sites. It may also surprise you to learn that most real estate agents do not own any investment properties and they have little experience with Cashflow Positive or Instant Equity strategies. That old saying about the blind leading the blind comes to mind! Read the full article here: https://www.brisbaneunitsales.com.au/experience-counts/
23.01.2022 Housing Affordability Solution For thousands of Aussies the hope of achieving the Great Australian Dream is slipping further away because property prices are dramatically outpacing wage rises. Fortunately, theres a solution to this problem. Instead of renting for the next 5 - 10 years and paying off your landlords mortgage, why not become a landlord yourself?... You could live in a brand new Dual Occupancy home and have a tenant paying up to 60% of the mortgage payments for you! This extra income makes it possible to get off the rental treadmill and buy your own home. With you and a tenant paying the mortgage, you could own your home outright in less than 15 years and save over $100,000 in loan interest. Doesnt that make more sense than wasting thousands each year on rent? Read the full article here: https://www.brisbaneunitsales.com.au/housing-affordability/
23.01.2022 Cashflow Positive Property Hundreds of thousands of Aussies have bought negatively geared investment properties because they were told it was a great way to reduce the amount of tax they pay. While it may sound good in theory, this flawed strategy guarantees that most people will lose $50 $100 every week for several years for the privilege of saving some tax! Having negative cashflow means you have to pay interest and expense shortfalls out of your own pocket. It also li...mits your ability to borrow more money to buy additional properties. These are major reasons why few investors are able to build a substantial property portfolio. (According to the ATO, 71% of investors own just one property). In stark contrast, if each of your properties is producing strong positive cashflow, it may be possible to accumulate several properties during your working life to fund a very comfortable retirement. So what is Cashflow Positive property? In simple terms, its when the income and tax benefits generated by these unique properties exceed the cost of ownership. With Cashflow Positive properties you receive higher rental yields, plus you still claim tax deductions for expenses such as interest payments, council rates, water charges, repairs, maintenance, building insurance, landlord insurance and management fees. You can also claim depreciation on fixtures & fittings and the construction cost of the property. These valuable depreciation benefits could average over $8,000 every year for 40 years! The properties we source for our investors typically achieve a cash surplus of $100 $200 per week after all costs including mortgage payments, rates, management fees and insurance. In reality, Cashflow Positive properties cost nothing to own and generate an after-tax return of thousands of dollars each year for most investors. Doesnt that sound more appealing than losing thousands each year? Read the full article here: https://www.brisbaneunitsales.com.au//cashflow-positive-p/

19.01.2022 Dual Occupancy Homes As property prices continue to rise, Dual Occupancy homes are becoming increasingly popular with owner-occupiers and investors due to their affordability and the incredible flexibility they offer. These can take on many forms, such as duplexes, duplex-style houses, dual-key units and houses with a detached granny flat in the back yard. ... Regardless of the actual design, they all provide the ability for two families to share the same property, yet live completely independently of each other. Dual Occupancy homes provide owners with enormous flexibility to meet their changing lifestyle needs. Heres a few ideas: Owner-Occupiers live in one dwelling and rent the other your tenant will pay up to 60% of the mortgage payments for you! Friends & Siblings pool your resources and buy together instead of wasting tens of thousands of dollars on rent over the next 5 10 years. Teenage Retreat or Granny Flat if the kids cant afford to move out on their own or if grandma or grandpa need looking after, this arrangement could be perfect. Investors rent both dwellings out to maximise your yields. These properties will usually be Cashflow Positive and return $100 $200 per week after all costs including mortgage payments, rates, management fees and insurance. Retirees supplement your Pension or Super Fund income by living in one dwelling and renting the other. Read the full article here: https://www.brisbaneunitsales.com.au/dual-occupancy-homes/
19.01.2022 Property or Shares? Which is the best investment property or shares? Its a question that has been argued for generations. Proponents from both sides of the fence will offer their opinions and try to influence investors on where to place their funds for the best returns.... Many are persuaded by stockbrokers and financial planners that shares are the best vehicle for wealth creation. Similarly, real estate agents will be equally convincing that property is the only way to go. So what is the truth? If you want a truly independent, unbiased answer, simply ask the moneylenders the banks. They will happily lend you money to invest in shares or real estate.

06.01.2022 You Can Afford Your Own Home! While the problem of housing affordability has been a hot topic in recent times, Id like to share with you one solution that Ive been helping home buyers with since 2010. Working as a mortgage broker and real estate agent during the past 27 years, Ive met many people who believed they couldnt afford to buy a home. But when we sat down together and examined their spending habits, we often discovered they could easily afford their own home if ...they were prepared to make a few simple changes to their discretionary spending. You see, humans arent always rational creatures. Sometimes highly intelligent people make dumb financial decisions that could prevent them from ever owning a home. Lets take smoking for example. According to Quit Victoria, someone smoking a pack of 20 cigarettes a day is wasting around $154 a week or $8,000 a year. For a couple with similar smoking habits, thats a massive $308 a week or $16,000 a year. And, its about to get significantly more expensive. On 1st September 2017, the Federal Government will start ratcheting up tobacco excise rates and by September 2020 this couple will be blowing around $560 a week on cancer sticks. After 25 years they will have burned around $730,000 and all theyll have to show for it is lung cancer or emphysema! Theyll probably also waste a similar sum of money on rent (which their landlord will wisely use to pay off his/her own mortgage). How crazy is that? Almost $1.5 MILLION spent, yet they wont even own a brick, a floor tile or a kitchen sink!! That same amount of money could pay two $400,000 mortgages off over 25 years (assuming an interest rate of 5.5% pa). They could own their home and an investment property outright, with a combined value of $3 million (assuming both homes were bought for $450,000 each and they achieved a modest capital growth rate of just 5% pa). Of course, not everyone smokes. But many people could still save hundreds of dollars a month by reducing the frequency of dining out and takeaways, fancy coffees, gambling, alcohol consumption, lavish holidays and buying used cars instead of new. Now what if you combined some of these money saving suggestions with a brilliant home ownership strategy? Would you be excited to learn how you could live in a brand new home and have someone else paying up to 60% of the mortgage payments for you?

02.01.2022 Make up to $130,000 Instant Equity Heres the dilemma many investors face. Should they choose an investment property that offers Cashflow Positive returns, or one that has good prospects for Capital Growth over the next 5 years? Great news! You can now have both and you dont need to wait 5 years.... Correctly designed Duplexes in good locations offer the potential for Cashflow Positive returns AND immediate Capital Growth! So how is this possible? Its very simple really. Once construction is complete, a Duplex can be strata titled to create two separate homes. This could instantly boost the combined value of the dwellings by up to $130,000! Read the full article here: https://www.brisbaneunitsales.com.au/instant-equity/
01.01.2022 Retire Richer! Its a sad prospect, but most Aussies will spend 15 - 30 years in retirement, either totally or partially dependent on the Age Pension. Thats a long time for millions of retirees to struggle on very modest incomes. Currently, the Single Age Pension is $23,824 p.a. and the Couple Age Pension is $35,916 p.a. (Figures include Pension Supplement and Energy Supplement).... According to the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA), to enjoy a comfortable retirement, single people will need an income of $42,953 p.a. and couples will need $60,604 p.a. To earn these income levels exclusively from superannuation, a single retiree would need $859,060 in super and a couple would need $1,212,080 (assuming a return of 5% p.a). Unfortunately, most people dont have anywhere near those amounts when they retire. Figures published by ASFA reveal that men who retired in 2016 had average super fund balances of only $270,710 and women had very low average fund balances of just $157,050. Combined, these sums would only generate an income of $21,388 p.a. (assuming a return of 5% p.a). Without a part-pension to augment their meagre incomes, these people would be living below the poverty line. The good news is that retirement doesnt need to be about frugality and deprivation. Below is a simple property strategy that average wage earners can utilise to build a solid asset base and strong passive income stream to sustain them in comfort for decades.
