All Topics / Help Needed! / help with first purchase numbers PLEASE!!!!
HI all,
Just wondering if someone can check some numbers for me since I am new @ this.
Have been reading all your posts for a while now and am still a little confused with the differing opinions on the state of the market and whether now is the time to buy. and hold……
2 options currently-
OPTION 1:-2 bed circa 1950's WBT house – easily used as 3bd with minor work. approx $5k (Done ourselves – husband tradie)
Will need paint + carpet inside . say $5k (Labour ourselves)Say purchase price $240,000
Rental return $330 p/w
Gross yield = ????????? 6.6%
Area close to schools, hospital, on major bus routes. 0-1% rental vacancy rate in area. From all accounts should be easily rented due to location,
OPTION 2:-
Fibro ex -housing commission (privately owned some years now) 3 small Bedrooms new kitchen etc
Basically nothing substantial to spend. $1000 incidentals
Large backyard/block . Quiet street . Private homes. Possible potential to subdivide or knock down & put 2 units later on.
But not as close to amenities. Schools next suburb over, 5-10min walk 2 bus route. Some re-development happening in suburb already .. ie knock down and rebuilds.Say pruchase price $255
Gross rental return $300-330Gross yield = ??????????6.1%
Any ideas on the better option……
Hope someone can help me .
Thanks heaps griffo14
