25.01.2022 #Save one-third, live on one-third and give away one-third. Angelina Jolie - easy for her to say?

24.01.2022 What would a home loan cost? According to the Domain House Price report, the median house price in Sydney has broken through the $1 million barrier. The median price in other states is more modest, but still uncomfortably high. So what would a home loan cost you over the life of the loan? The average home loan rate is currently 4.64% The average standard variable home loan rate on our database is just 4.64%. Thats so low, right? Well yes, but even a low interest rate over ...as long period of time adds up to a big cost. Remember you may well have your home loan for 30 years. Based on that average home loan rate of 4.64%, a home loan over 30 years could cost you the following: Loan size Monthly repayment Cost over 30 years $500,000 $2,575 $927,068 $750,000 $3,863 $1,390,602 $1,000,000 $5,150 $1,854,135 Remember this is assuming that the rate will stay low for the term of your loan. Thats not likely to happen so the loan will cost you much more. Also remember that you are paying it off with after tax dollars which means you will have to earn a heck of a lot more than what you repay. Your hard earned dollar is much better spent on investment loans as they are tax deductable and also you have a tenant helping pay off the loan. At The IFP Group we also make sure you have a very effective strategy to kill off your home loan debt as fast as possible so dont delay, contact us now to find out how to make best use of your money.

11.01.2022 When you want to move it's not always the best decision to turn the old property into an investment property, especially if the new home is going to have a large mortgage. It means you have a large non-deductible debt on your own home and a small deductible debt on your investment. Maximise your tax deduction and minimise you home debt, that's the best way to go. Give me a call if you're not sure what to do

11.01.2022 Do you know your capitals? Are you in the know about cash-flow? Anyone planning to enter the property market will benefit from knowing the difference between capital gain, capital value growth (appreciation) and cash-flow.... Know the difference Anna Kyriacou, Principal at AKA Group Accountants Advisors Mentors, explains the difference between capital gain and capital value growth/appreciation: A capital gain is the profit an investor makes after selling the property, whereas capital appreciation (value growth) is an increase in value of property while you still own it, she says. It also happens when you buy a home in a suburb that later records property value growth because of a shortage of homes and/or strong demand from buyers. When either of these things happen your propertys paper capital value grows. As long as you dont sell your property or have a capital gain tax event, you wont be asked to pay taxes on your capital growth, explains Juliana Ardila, Owner of Prada Credit Solutions. The key to building a successful portfolio is to use this gain or equity- to leverage and buy again. What is cash-flow? Cash-flow is what is left in an investors pocket once all regular ongoing costs are deducted from all regular income (rent). Again, in simple terms, from a tax point of view cash flow is gross rental income less property expenses less loan repayments plus any tax benefits, Kyriacou says. What should I look for? So which factor is most important when selecting a rental property? If someone is starting an investment portfolio, they need to look at cash-flow and capital appreciation. My recommendation is to always chase both, as what is the point of having an asset that does not have cash-flow and is increasing in value each year. If it does not have both, in my view, it is simply going to be a money pit, as houses require maintenance and in some states $1,000s of dollars in land tax (when selling). Simon Cohen, Managing Director of buyers agency Cohen Handler agrees. An investors goal should be about finding a happy medium between capital value growth, and regular cash flow. It is about doing your research and finding a property that has that right balance for your own individual needs and goals, Cohen says. Most importantly, it must be in an area that is rentable. That is essential, because you do need rental cash flow to help you cover ongoing costs associated with the property and you are not out of pocket too much if at all, from week to week. It also means you are less likely to need to sell before you are can reap the full benefit of long-term capital gain. Our job at IFP is to help guide you in achieving both cash flow and that capital gain. Contact us NOW to find out how we do it.
