    I have 2br, 2 bath, 1 lug unit in granville. It is on border of parramatta. Nearsest station is harris park. It is 7 years old.

    Strata management agency is bad.

    I bought it for $275K. i have 225K loan. value around 335K. Expected rent is $380.
    I am looking to upgrade.

    I have extra fund to buy PPOR.
    Should i sell it or make it investment?

    What sort of growth is expected in this area?

    Hi

    Thats a keeper Garg in my book unless the following are issues:

    1. Its a dud property – Lemon. eg leaks water – costs a lot to maintain.
    2. You really really need the money to upgrade – eg if you were considering buying a house and you needed the cash from the unit than sell it.

    As a general rule keep properties and don't sell – thats my plan anyway. Do the maths yourself.

    I don't know the area that well but given its close to Parramatta it should be pretty good.

    All the best

    strata is $2400.

    I think strata will expect $1000 more in addition to that.

    income – 380 * 50 =19000

    per annum
    Strata – 2400
    water – 650
    council – 700
    bad managed strata levies- 1000
    landlord insurance – 500
    intrest – 225K @ 7 % = 15750
    management fee= 1800
    expense total = 22800

    loss 3800 + depriciation 5000=8800

    tax benefit = 3520
    net loss=5280

    am i doing anything wrong in calculation?
    should i keep it?
