Ive been doing some thinking about an IP I have in BNE. Below is the balance sheet as I see it.
Repayments -$368.00 $184.00 per week
B/Corp -$ 33.10 $215.00 every quarter
Rates -$ 47.50 $306.00 every quarter
Prop Mngr -$ 34.00 REA management fee
Insurance -$ 9.00 $235.00 p/a
Rental +$440.00 $220.00 per week
Balance -$ 51.00
As you can see the property is not quit +CF if I include all of the above expenses.
My question is how can I make this property +CF.
The rent has recently gone up $10 p/w to the above so a rent increase is off the cards for now. there is $114,000 outstanding on the loan at around 6.25% interest.
Luckily I have had about 100k in CG since purchase 3 yrs ago so that is still a good 1st investment. But I would like to work this out.
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Riff
What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.
Mabye I made a mistake some where but i checked it over three times! [?]
That means you should be earning $40 a year. Therefore it should be a positive cash flow property.
K, saying that i did make a mistake. Oone way that comes straight to mind is to offer something to Tenant for example: (this might already be there) Install air-con. on the condition that the rent will be increased $5-$10 per week.
Just a sugestion. Hope this helps.

“If you do what you have always done, you will get what you have always had.”
It depends on the age of the property as to how much the depreciation will save you. If it’s post 1985/7 you can claim 4/2.5% of the actual building cost.
If it’s pre that time, you can only claim depreciation on any renovations, carpets, curtains, HWS, stoves etc. etc. etc.
You need to get a quantity surveyour to prepare a report for you to see how good it will be.
If it is a post 85 house, I reckon depreciation should cover your losses – but don’t quote me on that!![]
Try and contact DEPPRO (Depreciation professionals)they have an office in every state i believe, i’ve used them and had no complaints []
Tax depreciation is a benefit to the purchaser- not the builder, developer or the selling agent, and is calculated on both the purchase and construction price of the property.
irrelevant of the age of the property there still exhists an allowance on either the building or the plant content.Common areas can also be depreciated !
To ‘save’ $ have them do it in may ‘just’ before the end of the financial year , that way you get the cost of it back quicker.
It’s worth doing the depreciation aspect $$$ []
REDWING thinking of doing a depreciation post now hmmmm
