What properties to buy?

Property investment could well be for you if you have decided that you would like to secure your finances in a simple way that can generate money for you for the future. Superannuation funds are quite common and most people have one, or more than one, that they manage themselves. Property investment can actually generate a higher return over a shorter period of time and the negative gearing experienced at the start of your portfolio can end up being positively geared and giving you the income you have always hoped for, for your retirement years.

What do I need for property investment?

There are a few things you need if you are thinking about property investment. You will need to have owned your own home for a certain number of years if you are hoping to invest without a cash deposit.

You will need:

• To have owned your own home for a number of years
• For your own home to have gained value over that period

If you looking at Sydney as a potential place to live, you may want to consider one of the suburbs as the price of Sydney Real Estate will be considerable lower there and therefore more affordable.

Which Suburbs for you then?

If you are looking at the eastern suburbs, between the central business district and the beach, on the central business district side of the bridge, you will find the most expensive Sydney Real Estate. The areas along the harbour are nice places to live however the rental costs are astronomical;

• Watsons Bay
• Vaucluse
• Double Bay
• Elizabeth Bay
• Rose Bay

Or by the sea?

On the ocean side, Bondi can be quite costly but can be an enjoyable place to live with easy access to the city and l Lots of good cafes, a good place to brunch on a Sunday.  Also there is a train service to Bondi Junction. The beach suburbs going south of Bondi, namely Bronte, Coogee Beach and Maroubra, are all very enjoyable places to reside.  However as the train service does terminate at Bondi Junction, you would have to get a bus from these suburbs and then the train from Bondi Junction to be able to get to your work in the city. 

Or even further North?

The northern suburbs, especially between the Pacific Highway and the sea, are also very appealing.  On the ocean side, Manly has very good transport links with ferry as well as buses.  On the other hand, if you go north; to Dee Why or Palm Beach you will have to commute and this can mean a long drive from there to get to the central business district while contenting with the rush hour.

It all depends on whether you want the cheaper Sydney Real Estate and the relaxed environment of the suburbs at the expense of a potentially long commute to work.

Attractions of Investment Properties – Sydney

For lots of people, investing in property can be more appealing than share investing. There may be several explanations but usually with investment properties the investor will have greater power over their asset. For instance, renovating or landscaping a property can substantially influence the property value although there is very little that a person is able helpfully to do to control the value of their portfolio of shares.

Why would an investor choose Investment Properties – Sydney?

Investment property can act as security in order to acquire finance for any future investment properties therefore it provides a good basis for any leverage. This will give an investor the chance to build on any existing property equity and build up a profitable investment portfolio.

• As property is viewed as a tangible asset, banks are more at ease with providing finance for this purpose.  Banks and financial institutions tend to be more cautious when lending against shares as they can be subject to variation and even when a bank does lend; they tend to only lend a small fraction of the total cost of the property.
• Investment in properties can offer good tax incentives for investors, chiefly as tax depreciation on the property.
• When contrasted with shares, property tends to be seen as a more stable option to investing in the share market.

You are looking for your next home, it sounded fantastic in the listing, was within your price range, it’s in a decent location along with amenities you were looking for. First impressions do mean a lot but you find the garden is like a jungle, the living room is decorated with stained and torn wallpaper, the kitchen cabinets are painted bright orange, and the wooden floors have stains on them.  But when looking at real properties for sale they are likely to be lived in and not look like a pristine show house;

So should you think about it?                                     

You will be probably tempted to turn about and go back out the front door.  You will probably concern that you might not be able to get a loan.  But before discounting this house you should find out a bit more information, and maybe look beyond the facade to get an idea of the house’s potential, remember these are real properties for sale not show homes.

The decoration and minor repairs are easily corrected, likewise any decoration albeit good condition, that does not suit your taste. Potential purchasers should be more concerned with the structural integrity of the property and the potential to make it what you want.

Also you may wish to think about location, is this suitable for you, have it got all the amenities that you would like as well as the amenities that you need, for example;

• public transport
• schools and universities
• shops
• libraries

A good source of information on locations and potential real properties for sale can be found on the relevant state’s government website.
