Here’s an ad below from your website. I have a question but I’m finding it hard to paste it all here for some reason. Anyhoo:

Ausprop,
I just wanted to ask how the above is positive CF and can replace negative geared property get like $850 rent a week? How can it be PCF without the use of depreciation and tax return?
ooh – this is a bit close to advertising. good question tho, I will put together a year 1 financial summary (not allowed to do projection these days!) and post it on the Project Info page.
IMO this kind of discussion is fine. Just my 2 cents. It’s positive that there is scope for questions to be asked and answered by those forum contributors that also offer services.
HEY !!
Thats my property…
So I can post the figures right??
Using typical lvr of 80% would allow loan of $340k
Interest at 7% would be $23.8k
Rent at 600pw would be $31.2k
Rates, taxes, management, insurance should be approx $5k
So there will be a surplus (pos geared)of approx $2.4k
Depreciation may make it slightly negative on paper, hence generating a tax refund which will make it more cashflow positive.
I’m sure you know this was a legitimate question to you. On $650 rent (in karratha??) for a 425k property, it seems negatively geared to me. Neg gearing is all about depreciation and tax return. The reason I was asking is because it sounds like a negatively geared property wrapped in CF+ clothing.
On the face of it, 650 X 52 divided by 425k is slightly under 8% yield. I work out yield not on LVR but on total purchase price.
Wanna help out here, John? I’m not advertising for you- I don’t do that- it just seems like we might be calling apples pears here.
it’s a fair call Kay – the promotion of the Karratha properties was written up when the price was looking closer to $350k. of course it all comes down to gearing but when you run all the numbers thru a calculator, $650/wk on $425k will be negative unless you put in a lot of equity. Unfortunately I can’t control the market and prices, like everywhere, are racing ahead. I have seen a well known marketing company promoting $250 a week on $250k as CF+ and shaken my head… in the interests of not wanting to be a misleading promoter of such material I shall follow their lead and relabel it as ‘high cash flow’ !
