    hello,

    My partner and i would like to start investing in positive cash flow property. we have read a few books, but not clear on what kind of research we need to do on a property to give an indication that it’s positivly geared and a good buy. the focus is on positive gearing.

    It may be obvious, but i think we have too much infomation overload and maybe someone would like to help us get a step by step basics.

    Thanks guys

    Hi Karl

    A good indication of whether or not a property will be positiviely geared is to use the 11 Second Solution. Rent/2 * 1000.

    For more in depth analysis, you need to look at borrowings/repayments, rates, maintenance, prop mgr fees etc. Add them all up, subtract from rent. If leftover is positive, you are positively geared, if not, you are negatively geared.

    Cheers
    Mel
