A capital cost is one that can be depreciated, any other cost that cannot may fall under maintenance, to figure this out in more detail you will need to speak to your accountant.

Gross Equity- the current equity position of the property.
Is this the equity in the property Ive…[Read more]

Hi Paula

I have included your questions and answered them inline.

1. Estimated Market Value- my understanding is simply what the property is valued at?
Yes

2. Capital Appreciation- my understanding is I have to work out how much the property will increase over a year? (do you have any suggestions in how I could work this out? CPI?)
This…[Read more]

Hi Tony

The latest version of ID now supports the entry of individual actual items, so you can keep track of each amount with date, description and notes.

Hi Tony

ID has a rollover feature; this essentially locks away your figures in a history so you can keep track of your investment.

You can do this just as easily when evaluating a property, just enter each year’s figures and roll them over into past years, just make sure you roll each set of figures into a new year, and then you can comp…[Read more]

Hi markpatrick

Steve and Dave are hard working and overwhelmingly generous business men, if there is one key thing I have learnt from them is that its not about the money, they both have the means to stop working but what whould they do with them selves.

I came to the same realisation and when I get into a position of not needing to work anymore…[Read more]

Hi There

I believe the current limit is under 450,000 in QLD, the new version of ID that will be out shortly takes this into account.

Hi

There is only one field for rental income on the budget page, if you calculate the expected rental income for the year and then divide by 52, (if you click tha calculator button next to the field it will help you do this) that will give the average weekly rental income.

Hope this helps

Hi

The loss in the net cash flow is your out of pocket loss(if the figure is negative), when you include depreciation as a cost, then the net profit is further reduced giving you the figures you are seeing. The net profit is your net cash flow + capital costs – depreciation. To get a handle on what you can claim as a tax benefit you need to seek…[Read more]

Hi Mikala

Below is a description of the 11 Second rule from the help in ID, you can press F1 from almost anywhere to get information about the ID feature you are using at the time.

The basic calculation for the 11 Second rule is (PROPERTY COST / 1000) * 2, this will give the minimum rent required to return a positive cash flow.

Equally, (RENT…[Read more]

Hi Snowball

I am only guessing but are you entering the figures with formatting eg. $100,000

If you are then this is the problem, you only need to enter the figures as numbers without the formatting eg. 100000 and ID will do the rest for you.

Hope this helps
