Investment properties exist at all price points, making them more accessible than you might think. But affordability is a personal equation, and the answer depends on three key factors:

1. Your Financial Situation:

• Income: How much can you comfortably allocate towards a mortgage, maintenance, and potential vacancies?
• Savings: Do you have a healthy deposit to reduce your loan amount and monthly payments? Your Loan to Value Ration (LVR) may also impact borrowing costs.
• Debt: Existing debt obligations can significantly impact your borrowing capacity.

2. The Investment Property:

• Price: Location, type, and condition will greatly affect the cost. Explore diverse options beyond single-family homes in prime locations.
• Rental Income: Can the potential rent cover your expenses and leave a positive cash flow? Research realistic rental rates in different areas.
• Additional Costs: Factor in ongoing expenses like property management, repairs, and insurance.

3. Leverage and Strategy:

• Mortgages: Utilise leverage strategically. A smaller deposit can increase your access to properties, but higher loan-to-value ratios might mean private mortgage insurance and higher interest rates.
• Diversification: Consider spreading your risk across multiple smaller properties versus one larger one.

Remember: Investing in property should be a long-term, responsible decision. Don’t stretch yourself beyond your means. Seek professional guidance from financial advisors and experienced real estate agents to assess your situation and develop a sound investment strategy.

An investment-grade property is a high-quality, low-risk asset favored by investors for its stability and reliability. Key factors include location, tenant quality, rental yield, and market demand—but evaluating all of this can be overwhelming.

That’s where our property buyer’s agents step in. We handle the research and complexities, helping you secure an investment-grade property with confidence and ease.

The fee for paying a buyer’s agent can be a tax-deductible expense for investors. When you sell the property, this fee becomes part of the cost base of your capital gains asset, potentially reducing your taxable gains. The cost base typically includes the purchase price of the asset, as well as associated expenses like legal fees, borrowing costs, property management fees, and stamp duty. For clarity on how this applies to your situation, consult with your accountant to explore your options.

1. Location:
   Jobs and population growth: If people are attracted to the area because they have access to reliable jobs, this should translate into reliable rental income for your property
   Low vacancy rates: If others are unable to rent their properties out, you may need to lower the rent of your property to attract a tenant.
   Proximity to amenities: Just like you, tenants want to live in an area that has access to schools, transportation, and lifestyle factors.
   Future development: If there are infrastructure or revitalisation projects in the area, this coud enhance property values in the medium to long-term.
2. Property types:
   Standalone home: these properties might offer higher rent, but equally might come with higher maintenance costs.
   Apartments, units or townhouses: these are typically cheaper than land, but offer less opportunity to add value through renovations, and there may also be restrictions on short-term letting, for example.
3. The cost of buying an investment property
   When purchasing a property, securing a competitive price is crucial, but don’t overlook the tax benefits. Research average rents in the area to ensure your projected income can cover your mortgage, taxes, and other expenses. Properties in areas with historical value appreciation offer potential long-term tax advantages. Additionally, maintenance, repairs, insurance, and even vacancy periods may be tax-deductible, which can help offset financial surprises while maximizing your investment’s profitability.

Teldman helps you uncover the tax benefits of property investment while finding the ideal property at the right price to align with your financial goals and risk tolerance.
