Dean…

Well done.. thats thinking outside the box…
A little off the topic, but how do the tenant separate the electricity usage etc ??

Midland… Is your block a development block also??

Its very unlikely your gonna find positive cash flow properties in Perth…
There going to have to be country properties…

And they are out there…

Ive seen afew properties in WA… costing 100k with weekly rental of $300pw.. easily meets the 11sec rule..but after a little investigation into the town… was far too risky for me, in the long…[Read more]

No its not positive cash flow…
once you factor in all the cash you’ll out lay it will be costing you money..
e.g.
insurance, prop manager fee, repairs, etc etc

BUT it does cover the mortgage payments at current interest rates…

rest is pretty much as Mick INC stated…

You suspect correctly…
you may come out positive, if you have a huge depsoit and loads of depreciation… MAYBE…
but other than that go country… even then I have to say theres slim pickings…

Just keep on hunting… Good luck…

Thanks crew…

Simon has been kind enough to run the numbers… So i’ll have some independant information…

Will definitely be wary when dealing with these “mortgage minimisation” people…

“Is someone trying to sell you a Mortgage Minimisation scheme?”

Yeah ive got the extra repay info… its that tricky little LOC calculation that Im trying to learn alitle more about….

Simon
LOC.. the lure of the possiblity of quicker repay…

Yeah Im happy with my current fixed… but just wanted to run some figures to see if the LOC might put me ahead at the end of the 5 yrs…

Great to see people makin use of my spreadsheet creation… Yeha…

Its a very simple way to differentiate between what sound like a good deal and what IS a good deal…

55k and 110pw is quite common to find…
Whats the rental market there like??
Is the population growing/stable??
Whats the cap growth there like??

Its those properties returning 12.5%+ which are out there but harder to find…
In the past few months ive seen in WA
19k 75pw.
55k 170pw
55k 130pw
65k 180pw
65k 120pw
85k 240pw
90k 200pw
100k…[Read more]

No not the MM one…MM has an even smaller population…

Thanks Mel

Will definetely have to give it some serious consideration…
Just have to see if there is a rental market…
Wow hope it moves something like your folk areas…

The closing costs are calculated by:

IF deposit is greater than or equal to 20% of purchase price then the closing cost Ive put down is 5%, if the deposit is less then its 2.5% of the purchase price…

Pretty general…but good for a rough guide.

BTW its Kelvin not kevin : )
