Hello Jerry. Welcome to the forums.

Without the exact figures of your proposed investment plan, I cannot provide you with an accurate breakdown of your weekly cash flow from the investment property. However, you can input the details into our property investment calculator to accurately predict the weekly cash flow position of your investment property.

Our mortgage brokers specialise in investment loans.

Hi Jerry,

Property investors buy negatively geared properties in high demand areas that may potentially achieve higher rates of growth. They try to achieve more in growth than the cost to hold onto the property. By growing their investment portfolio they can do quite well like that.

Most properties have a negative weekly cash flow (negatively geared) at the time they are purchased however as they grow in value, the rental income outstrips the weekly costs and the property will be positively geared. Learn the pros and cons of negative vs positive gearing here.
You’ll lose your tax benefits but you won’t be paying out of pocket to hold on to the property.

Cheers,

Hi Jerry,

When a building gets older and items within it wear out, they depreciate in value. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) governs legislation that allows owners of any income-producing property to claim a tax deduction for this wear and tear.

Effectively, you save tax without actually having any cost affecting your weekly cash flow. Depreciation is a complicated subject so please talk to your accountant for more information.
