Can you please outline the fundamental principles of this rule. Just the quick evaluation you put onto a property to evaluate viability. It has been a long time since I have used it and am a bit rusty,

Weekly rent from property, divided by 2 is the max amount (in thousand) you should spend to buy the place… eg rental income is $100p/w can pay max $50,000 to buy the place
here i will give you an example of what puttin a deposit on a property can do to make it positive geared.
here is an example.
Price of property is $120,000.00, the rental income for this property is $170 a week for example
$120,000.00 at 6% over 30 years = $179.86 a week in weekly repayments. (the rental does not cover the weekly loan amount)
Lets say you put down a 10% deposit, which would equal $12,000.00
Your actual loan amount would only be $108,000.00
$108,000 at 6% over 30 years = $161.7 a week in weekly repayments. (This would cover your loan, as the rental exceeds the amount of $161.7 a week, though after insurance and mortgage protection it would be sitting right on border line of payin it self off)
I think that even paying cash for the entire purchase does make the property positively geared, but it does not make the property fit the 11 second solution. Fundamental difference!!
