Hi, firstly if i’m breaking any rules here please someone let me know. I’ve found what I believe is a positive flow property but am still reading the book and not in a position to go ahead with buying at the moment. Its in Qld has good tenants great condition fully furnished (good depreciation I believe as well as the building depreciation) and is a little undervalued according to the current bank valuation. Is there someone in Brissy who is experienced and ready to buy again who I might share this tip with who later on in the year when i’m ready might help us out back with finding another property? I guess i’m looking to trade my possible find (and i’m definately no expert) for your expertise later on down the track. regards HG
Hi All, more info – its a duplex with current tenants in place for another 12 months, 2 years old, asking 185,000 with a net rental return of 246.00 pw. The agent states (and I know its true) that recent info in the area says to expect a 10% growth over the next 12 months, I am expecting a phone call back re the property after 4 pm today. HG

Hi there! Sounds interesting!
Are Body Corporate Fees applicable to this duplex or other duplexes for that matter?
Hi Amit, the agent is giving me the following scenario, 185,000 price, 37,000 deposit, 148,000 loan at approx 6.6% over 30 years which equates to a repayment of 942.28 pm. The current rent after rates, body corp fees etc is 246.00 pw net plus deductions for building and furnishings – so to a very inexperienced beginner this looks like a +ve property – am I right? HG
HG – it’s only positive by $27 per week in this scenario, is that really a good enough return considering you’ve put in $37,000 (plus costs of approx $9,000) to achieve it – I’d vote no unless has significant capital growth/multi-use potential as well.

Hi HG,
Lets calculate. 246*52 = $12792
we will give 5% vacancy rate so this income will become $12152.
so for each month income = 1012.70
positve cash flow every month = 66.42
according to this calculation there is +ve flow though not much. I think if there is good capital growth then this property could be good deal.
Hi All, had my chat with the agent. They are saying 10% return – which is a little short so they are only just pcf. But they are getting back to me with more details. But I have discovered that there is more than one for sale – all are tenanted with a waiting list for new tenants to move in. Only 150m to bank and shops and on bus route. The agent is saying you should make 30 – 80 pw depending on your tax situation – however these calculations are all presuming I offer 185,000 – if I offer less and its accepted then obviously i’m more in front. Does anyone know how depreciation will affect this deal – if its 10% return plus depreciation and building depreciates at 2.5% plus depreciation on f&f at ?% (don’t know how they depreciate fixtures and furniture) does this get it well into the 11 second rule then??? HG
The 11 second rule is a LOAD OF BULL****!! What if interest rates increas by 5%???!!! ( or less) Then where is that 11 second rule? Our friend just made money at the right time – think about it!
