More Australian first-time home buyers are turning to RENTVESTING
Housing affordability across Australia has reached its highest level in decades, which should be welcome news for many aspiring homeowners looking to purchase their dream house. However, in capital cities, where most people work and aspire to live because of the modern conveniences these places provide, the price difference between buying and renting a home remains significantly high. “Essentially, the rent and invest strategy is to buy an investment property first where you can afford to and rent where you want to live but probably can’t afford to,” says Michael Yardney, chief executive officer of Metropole Property Strategists, in his property update blog. “It’s a tactic that overcomes financial obstacles and exorbitant property prices because you can buy in a location that fits your budget and then rent in a location that suits your lifestyle.” Continue reading at: x Is rentvesting a good idea?

Now is a good time for buyers to participate in the housing market
The low setting for interest rates is one of the key factors supporting housing market activity amid the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, said Tim Lawless, head of research at CoreLogic. "With owner-occupier mortgage rates for new loan originations typically between 2% and 3%, housing finance commitments have surged, and CoreLogic’s estimate of home sales over the September quarter is tracking slightly higher than a year ago," he said. "Government incentives, such as the First Home Loan Deposit Scheme, the First Home Buyers' Grant, and the HomeBuilder grant, along with state-based incentives such as stamp duty discounts, have supported greater levels of participation from first home buyers, while existing mortgage holders have been shopping around for the best mortgage rates fuelling a surge in refinancing," he said. The federal government's Budget 2020 also laid out additional plans to support activity in the residential market as Australia recovers from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. These plans include the expansion of the deposit scheme, income tax cuts, and investment on regional infrastructure.

Australia's 10 postcodes most at risk of rental unit oversupply
Sydney
Investors should be wary of three Sydney suburbs and two Melbourne inner-city neighbourhoods because of looming rental apartment over-supply, a new report has warned. The just-released study from RiskWise Property Research detailed what it claimed are Australia's 10 postcodes most at risk of new units flooding an already weakened rental market. New South Wales dominated the list, with four neighbourhoods in the top 10. Victoria and Queensland each had two postcodes listed, while Adelaide and Darwin were also flagged. Gosford, on the NSW Central Coast, rounded out a NSW grouping which included Sydney suburbs Parramatta, Rouse Hill and Mascot. Melbourne's CBD and Docklands were also suburbs where investors should be cautious, RiskWise Property Research chief executive Doron Peleg said. The 10 postcodes most at risk of unit oversupply (not ranked in order): VIC 3000 Melbourne VIC 3008 Docklands NSW 2020 Mascot NSW 2155 Rouse Hill NSW 2150 Parramatta NSW 2250 Gosford NT 800 Darwin QLD 4101 West End QLD 4217 Surfers Paradise SA 5000 Adelaide x Australia's 10 postcodes most at risk of rental un...

Rules to help make your property development project a success
Success
1. Do careful pre-purchase due diligence Don’t believe the selling agent when he tells you the property will make a great development site. You need to undertake careful areas due diligence including checking the council zoning, as well specific property due diligence. 2. Get your budget right Do a detailed feasibility study – be realistic rather than optimistic and include all the little costs beginners tend to forget. Then allow a contingency in case unforeseen costs crop up, because they always will! 3. Don’t overpay It’s important to buy your development site at a price that allows you to make a fair profit; otherwise you’re immediately at a disadvantage. 4. Get a good team around you Your team is likely to involve a property lawyer, accountant, finance broker, architect, real estate agent and a project manager to oversee the whole process. And remember…if you’re the smartest person in your team, you’re in trouble. 5. Be realistic about your schedule It’s not unusual for developers to be overly optimistic with their scheduling. Setting realistic time frames will help you budget more accurately and remember to set aside some contingency money in case unforeseen problems stretch your schedule.

Reasons why depreciation is important to property investors
There are many reasons why depreciation is important to property investors: It helps improve cash flow to the property investor. It can reduce the tax payable. A negative-geared house loss can be reduced. A brand-new property can be affordable. Yearly deductions are typically thousands of dollars for the residential property investor. Many investors know that they can claim tax deductions for interest, property management fees, repairs and maintenance but miss out on claiming the tax depreciation deduction, as they just didn’t know about it or they weren’t told to claim it. With interest rates being so low, the tax depreciation deduction could potentially be the biggest deduction claimable for some property investors. Tax depreciation is a deduction that is claimable over 40 years. It is forecasted in financial years. In each financial year, there is an amount you can claim for division 43 (the structural part of the property) and division 40 (brand-new plant and equipment items only). By claiming the depreciation deduction, it can reduce your tax payable for that particular financial year. Continue reading at: x Why is tax depreciation important for property inv... If I said to you that we may be able to reduce your tax by thousands, would you say, “No, thank you”? Or would you say, “Yes, please!”, writes Mark Wilkins. www.smartpropertyinvestment.com.au

Whether now is a good time to invest in an off-the-plan property?
Many investors are wondering whether now is a good time to invest in an off-the-plan property, given we’re in the middle of a recession. While the current economic conditions can be daunting, they can also offer the savvy investor opportunities.  During the recession in the early 1990s, interest rates reached a staggering 17.5%. Compare that to today when interest rates are at a record low 0.25% and you can see that not all recessions are alike. Low interest rates make investing in property much more affordable, which is a great opportunity for investors.  The current recession has been met with a record level of government spending to keep people employed and stimulate the economy. So far the government stimulus has managed to prevent those who are unemployed from being forced to sell their homes which could lead to an oversupply and steep price falls.  Continue reading at:x Is it wise to buy an off-the-plan investment prope...

What to consider when buying off the plan apartment?
With all the grants and concessions available to first home buyers, now could be a great time to secure your first home. First, you’ve got to decide whether you want to search for a new home or an existing property, as well as how much you want to spend.  With mortgage repayments and living costs at a premium, some first home buyers find it more cost-effective to buy a new home. Buying a new property means you don’t need to go through the stress of a total renovation. What to consider when buying off the plan apartment: Is it close to amenities and public transport? Is there planned infrastructure and talk of future growth? What are the views like? How close is the home to your workplace? What is the reputation like of the developer, architect and builder? When is construction likely to be completed? Source: x Should you buy a brand new house or renovate an ol...

Things to expect when selling in a pandemic
Adrian Wilson, principal and director of AYRE Real Estate, has shed light on what he and his team have experienced during the pandemic – and how they’ve had to adapt their selling strategies as a result. Mr Wilson and his team scooped up the New Office of the Year Award at this year's REB Awards, produced by Smart Property Investment’s sister brand REB.  Mr Wilson’s top three things to expect when selling in a pandemic: 1. Longer days on market for private treaty and shorter days on market for auction “Many sellers are accepting pre-auction offers, which is reducing the days on market,” Mr Wilson said. “Whether you’re selling via auction or private treaty, often the best offers come in within the first week or so, so be prepared to jump on a genuine offer at the right level. 2. Increased advertising “Now is not the time to skimp on the advertising budget,” Mr Wilson told home owners. “Your agent should be proposing a well-rounded, wide-net approach or its likely you will be missing crucial buyer opportunities. It’s more important than ever to invest in a quality campaign.” 3. Less buyers through the door “But don’t panic, even though we are experiencing lower numbers, those who are coming through are generally more qualified. This isn’t a bad thing, as it means that serious buyers have a better opportunity to engage with the agent and inspect the property in detail,” Mr Wilson flagged. Continue reading at:x 5 tips for selling property in a pandemic There are five things home owners should be wary of when selling in a pandemic, according to an award-winning agent. www.smartpropertyinvestment.com.au
