Hey guys i have just finished reading a few of Steve’s Books. In ‘0-130 Properties’ there is a section called the 1% rule. This rule is just a good place to define if a property should be further investigated as a +CF property.
If i apply it to this property for example
http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-sa-salisbury+north-120496577$245/w x 52 = $12700
$12700 / $190000 x 100 = 6.7%
4.5% intrest plus 1% = 5.5%is 1.2% high enough to warrant further investigation. Am I on the right track?
I hope i have not broken any rules posting this, if i have pls let me know ;-/
Hiya,
That’s the correct way to apply the formula, and satisfies Steve’s rule for CF+
However, the property is a semi which I wouldn’t buy because
a) Lower quality tenants usually apply for them
b) You have no control over what happens to the adjoined semi. If it burns down or gets an unsavoury tenant then that’s going to impact on you as well.I’ve found Salisbury North to be a decent enough area for CF+ though.

Numbers are fairly accurate, you would want to be estimating at a higher interest rate considering the current rock bottom rates aren’t indicative of long term averages.
In reality I wouldn’t be bothered with an ex-HT in Salisbury North, you’re looking at the bottom of the barrel for tenants in the area, whereas for a marginal amount more you can buy a fully detached property at a similar or even higher yield.

Thanks a ton for the advice lads.
To be honest i have not even got my deposit ready yet but im just trying to implement my learning to real life properties. As i have read, looking on the net is an inefficient way to find IPs but its the only resource available. I didnt know about the problems with semi detached and also was unaware it was an ex housing trust.Brilliant mates :D
Using Steves rule the following is my 3rd property with this rule 8.4% and each has been getting better returns .. but the trick is in the research finding properties which are straight away returning $$$ .. I don’t see any point in putting my money into subsidising someone else’s rent
$220/w x 52 = $11440
$11440 / $135000 x 100 = 8.4%
4.5% interest plus 1% = 5.5%the other two properties return 7.6% and 8.2% all bought this year

Wow – I’m learning then because I am only a beginner at this and have 3 properties but I only get 5.5, 5.7 and 5.9 on mine, so I’m guessing that’s not very good. Although I am not so sure about the actual cost of the property in the equation. Just checking I got it right – the equation is with the actual cost of the property isn’t it?
Leoniey it really depends where you’re buying too though. No point going on about how great your yield is if you own in a town of 50 people and declining. :)
I’ve seen some exceptional properties with 3% yields, and duds at 10%. And more importantly I’ve seen it switched the other way around too!

Thanks Cory – At least the properties have all increased in value over the past 3 years (one of them by $40,000), So I am still happy with my investments as long as they continue to grow in value. I would like to buy a couple with a more positive yield though as I am looking towards retirement in the next 3-5 years. Just not sure how to go about it yet.
