    Hi Everyone,

    Happy new year to you all.
    I am an independent agent in Brisbane, Springfield lakes. I am currently looking for an investor to purchase a brand new two story property that i have found for my client who is willing to rent it direct for $410pw….

    The property details can be found on realestate.com.au
    Property No. 103714010

    To save you time the property is priced at $359K. But you will need to put in a couple of air cons as this is a requirement of the new tenant.

    Cheers

    And thank you

    Hi myabode,
    Just so that I understand this, is your client and the vendor one and the same party?
    If not, is your client looking at “rent to buy” option?

    Hi Ray,

    I thought you said a good return?? That rental return on this property is only 5.94% plus I would need to come up with 5% closing costs and it already needs work.

    Sorry, but it doesn’t sound all that great to me. I can get 6.25% interest for leaving my money in the bank at the moment with no hassle.

    Thanks anyway

    dare_to_dream, a 6% yield is not a bad return, of course depending on where the property is, growth prospects. I assume that your calculations are not including growth prospects, tax breaks, etc, with that factored in, this property may pose a great opportunity to some investors.

    That being said, its not my cup of tea, but I know many investors in Melbourne who would be pleased to get 6% yields. Obviously not enough for you (or me), but I’m sure there will be investors out there to whom that appeals.

    Barbara,
    Yield is essentially calculated by the following formula:

    ((Weekly rent * 52) / Purchase Price) * 100

    So for the above property

    ((410 *52) / 359,000)*100 = 5.9837 OR 5.94 rounded up.

    Cheers

    Dave.

    d_robb21,
    your post brings up an interesting observation; like you, to me a return of 6% (when the interest rates are over 7%) is no good, but to some it is. I guess the more experienced and knowledgeable you become, the more you can see a good deal or bad deal.
    I don’t subscribe to the view of a certain % return is good “considering the market”.
    A return is a return is a return, and the state of the market doesn’t factor into the equation in my book.
    If the current interest rate is x%, then to me, the return has to be at least 1% or more to be considered a decent return, notwithstanding any cap growth or tax breaks.
    That’s what I love about this forum – knowledgeable people sharing their experience and knowledge with the not so, and hopefully steering them away from bad deals towards good deals.

    Cheers,
    Marc.
