Avoid the nightmares Professionals give advice on the bases to cover if you are thinking of investing in property BY BONNY FOURIE bronwyn.fourie@inl.co.za

ROPERTY investment done right can be a rewarding and profitable venture. But if done wrong, it can be a nightmare – both financially and in terms of managing the asset. To avoid making mistakes, property investment experts offer the following advice: Buy-to-let on the long-term market Don’t be tempted to do it alone, says Paul Stevens, chief executive of Just Property. “Property management is hard, time-consuming work that includes tenant vetting, rental collections, maintenance matters and, in some cases, eviction proceedings.” The property rental industry is heavily regulated by law and there are potential pitfalls that can land ignorant landlords in trouble, he says. “The rental market is currently under pressure in many parts of the country, with rental escalations tracking below inflation. Vacancies and arrears are slowly recovering from the Covid blow but have a long way to go before they reflect a stable market. “Take time to speak to local area experts about what rent you can charge, what tenant behaviours you can expect in the area and what yield you can

expect over time.” To put it simply, property investor Ben Malapile says you should: • Run your numbers. • Have proper structures in place for the portfolio and your estate. • Never buy investment property in your own name. • Remember that you are playing the long game. You should also always use a trusted estate agent who knows the area, says Grant Smee, managing director of Only Realty. “Do your homework prior to purchase to make sure there is demand and that the rent you will receive will cover your bills. “Ensure every bit of communication between you and the tenant is in writing.” He says you should also do proper checks on your tenants, such as getting references and credit scores and checking income. “A long-term tenant is a longterm commitment, so don’t rush into anything.” Buy-to-let on the short-term market If you are looking to invest in a short-term buy-to-let, Smee says you must: • Consider the location. • Price your property according to what is suitable for the area. • Market your property well. “Remember, there probably

won’t be demand all year round, so budget accordingly.” If you are buying into a sectional scheme property, such as a flat, says Stevens, you must ensure that the house rules allow for short-term rentals. If the house is freehold, chat to the neighbours. “There is often concern from permanent residents that shortterm rentals are disruptive and you may find yourself facing a conflict between residents and visitors.” You should also research the trends in your area and see whether you can expect guests throughout the year – as you might if the property is close to places of work/ convention centres/ sports grounds etc – or if it is likely to be seasonal. “This will impact your cashflow planning. For example, property owners in coastal towns like St Francis Bay make as much as six times their average monthly income in the December/ January period but face doldrums outside of school holidays.” Malapile agrees: “You must budget for vacancies and slow months. Being in the short-term rental industry myself, I had a number of open calendar nights with no bookings at all. “This pandemic has taught that we have to have saved at least six months’ worth of monthly

expenses at any given time.” Buying a second property as a holiday home Malapile suggests that, if you do buy a holiday home, you hire a management company to take care of it and let it in the short-term when you are not on holiday and not using it. Buying a holiday home is an emotional decision, Smee says. This means you need to be rational to ensure you are purchasing a property in a desirable area for future resale purposes. “Do your homework on the area and ensure that you factor in the maintenance costs of the home,” he says. Echoing this, Stevens says running a second home means you duplicate costs in areas like rates and taxes; cleaning; maintenance; security; connectivity and more. “Ask yourself if it makes sense to own – or simply rent regularly. Consider your stage of life and what you will want, and need, five, 10 or 15 years from now.” Buying to flip There are also careful considerations to make here, Stevens adds. “Building or renovating always takes longer and costs more than you anticipate, so

make sure you plan for that. “Be very clear about your target market and what will appeal to them – solve their wants and needs, rather than do what works for you.” Look carefully at the market and what you can expect to get for the property should you resell it, Stevens says, as you risk overcapitalising if you are not careful. You must not buy a property to flip if it has less than 20% to 30% of built-in equity, Malapile warns. This is because you want enough equity to get back your renovation costs and make profit. “If you pay too much, you may end up losing money on the investment.” He also urges those who want to flip properties to avoid overcapitalising. “Don’t spend too much trying to make it look nice and end up losing money when you sell.” Ultimately, Smee says, you must do your maths properly and get quotes from reputable companies, with references, if you are outsourcing the work. Other advice he shares is to: • Make sure that you know the area and what the property could sell for. • Get advice from trusted contacts who have handled similar projects before. • Ask an estate agent to value the property as you go along.

MORE people should be taking advantage of current property market conditions to become investors. PICTURE: DHYAMIS KLEBER/PEXELS

Letter from the editor AS A RENTER, I have managed to live in two of the most expensive parts of Cape Town – Camps Bay and Clifton – relatively cheaply. In fact, I ended up living in Camps Bay, falling asleep to the sound of the ocean and being able to walk to the beach, paying less than I would have had I rented similar accommodation anywhere else in the city centre. My rich friends, who owned a mansion close by, would drop me off after a night out and say how envious they were of my carefree existence – no levies or rates and taxes; no having to fix things when they broke; no hassle of tenants – and I still had the same view as they did. As a renter, I was free, they said. However, the big difference is as they and I leave the area for greener pastures (we hope), I leave with the suitcase with which I arrived, and they leave with over R30 million in their pocket after an initial R5 million investment (plus numerous renovations) all those years ago. Some may argue I got to stay in the most wonderful spot, and that was worth more than millions and, of course, I could never have afforded to buy there. Others may say you need to have money in the first instance to grow money. Which brings me to the focus of this week’s feature – alternative ways to get on to the property ladder, including renting in an area you love and buying in one you can afford – areas which have also shown immense growth in property prices over the years. More people I know are going for this option in their desire to own property. Not every property you buy has to be one in which you live and the buy-to-let market is thriving. One only has to look at the approximately 6.6 million residential properties registered at the Deeds Office, of which just over 3.3 million are occupied by tenants. This, property investor Ben Malapile tells our writer Bonny Fourie, shows just how popular buy-to-let property investment is. Given my friends and my example of how we ended up leaving Camps Bay, it seems owning property is a no-brainer way to grow wealth. Warm regards

Great time to invest There are plenty of good opportunities for people to start a property portfolio BY BONNY FOURIE bronwyn.fourie@inl.co.za

ROPERTY market

conditions might still be great for first-time buyers, but more people should be taking advantage of them to start an investment portfolio. And investing in property does not only mean buying with the intention to let, although this is still the most popular reason. Current conditions, with low interest rates, mean aspiring investors could purchase a second property for personal use, or even look at flipping it, which entails buying a property in need of TLC, renovating it, and then selling it for a profit. Aspiring homeowners who cannot afford to buy in an area where they would like to live, could also consider buying a property in an area they can afford, letting it, and using the rental income to pay their own rent in an area where they want to live. Whichever investment method you prefer, says Grant Smee, managing director of Only Realty, not enough people are taking advantage of the lower interest rates to buy investment properties. “The market is still very much driven by first-time buyers, and homeowners either relocating, upgrading their homes, or moving for lifestyle and convenience options.” Most of those who are investing

are either looking at the long or short-term rental market, the choice of which is made based on the property’s location. “Areas that are popular for short-term rentals are busy coastal hubs as well as business hubs facilitating regular business travel.” Investors obtaining holiday homes or buying for the purpose of flipping, he says, only make up a small portion of the general property market. However, in areas like the West Coast of the Western Cape, the Garden Route, the Eastern Cape outside PE and East London, and KwaZulu-Natal’s South Coast, “a significantly larger proportion of property purchases would relate to holiday home purchases, although these markets would still be driven by semigration”. Ultimately, property is still seen as a lucrative asset class and with properties selling at attractive prices, many investors are cashing in. “If financed correctly, property can become a great source of passive income. “In other cases, some want to purchase a holiday house for use at the end of the year, but want to derive income from the property when they aren’t there – so they opt for short-term letting,” Smee says. Echoing this, Paul Stevens, chief executive of Just Property, says the most obvious reason people invest in property is to create another income

stream, such as buy-to-let. In this space, there are residential and commercial options, as well as short and long-term options. “Another reason to buy a property without intending to live in it is to rezone or refurbish. With shifting working arrangements as a result of Covid restrictions, this is something worth investigating in your area. “Shared workspaces where people can ‘hot desk’, and the increased demand for homes that allow for established remote working, provide opportunities.” He says rezoned and/or refurbished properties can be sold or rented for a profit if they are well-positioned, well-equipped and well-priced. Property investor Ben Malapile states that, of the approximately 6.6 million residential properties registered at the Deeds Office, just over 3.3 million are occupied by tenants. This shows just how popular buy-to-let property investment is. In addition to intentionally buying property to let to create an additional income stream, some investors enter this market as a result of their circumstances. “Some buy a starter home and, when the family grows, they decide to keep that home and let it. Some inherit properties from their parents, maybe try to sell, but

struggle and end up renting them.” As a result, he says the property investment market is made up of a large portion of unintentional landlords. Most landlords – intentional or not – prefer the long-term rental market. “Only about 10% actually have the capital to commit to buying and running a short-term rental or owning a holiday home and running a short-term rental when they are away.” Buyers of second properties bought as personal holiday homes are normally directors and shareholders of successful companies and other high-net-worth individuals, Malapile adds. A higher number of investors – about 10% – buy with the intention of flipping. This, he says, has been spurred by the number of property-flipping shows on TV. Another reason people might buy property without intending to live in it is when they purchase for someone else, like children, parents, siblings, spouses and in-laws. “Some buyers purchase farms and agricultural holdings to farm and sell their livestock but have no intention of living on them. “Some buyers also buy property to let it to students as fully/semifurnished student accommodation,” Malapile says.

Getting smart at home

THE prime lending rate could increase between 0.75% and 1% this year. PICTURE: STEVE BUISSINNE/PIXABAY

INTEREST RATES ARE SET TO GO ON RISING CURRENT and prospective home buyers must budget for further interest rate increases, advises Rhys Dyer, chief executive of the ooba Group. This comes after last week’s rate increase set the tone for what is to be expected from the South African Reserve Bank this year. The prime lending rate could potentially increase between 0.75% and 1% this

year, Dyer says. However, he adds that a prime lending rate of 7.75% is “still relatively low” in comparison to the pre-pandemic level of 10%. “It’s important to remember the competition between banks remains fierce and, despite the hike late last year, the average interest rate achieved for our customers (in quarter 4 of 2021) was still prime less 0.21%.” Looking at a

sliding scale of where most home loan activity takes place, Dyer notes monthly repayments on a R1 million bond (calculated over a repayment period of 20 years) will increase by just R152 a month, while those on a R1.5m bond will increase by just R228. “A R2m bond will increase by R304 a month, while repayments on a R3m home will increase by R457.”

SMART home automation is gaining in popularity. PICTURE: CHAUHAN MONIZ/UNSPLASH

MARTER homes are one of the key trends expected in the residential property market this year, says Yael Geffen, chief executive of Lew Geffen Sotheby’s International Realty. This is because flexibility and the new multifunction mindset have begun filtering from workspaces through to the rest of the home. “Key elements include adaptable furniture that has more than one use and progressive robotics and tech which vacuum for you and remind you when

your milk is finished. “Energy efficiency will get even smarter, thanks to near-autonomous homes that recognise you, your movement patterns and your daily habits, and foldable, rollable televisions will become commonplace.” Geffen says Amazon recently introduced Alexaenabled Astro that can find its way around, detect unrecognised people and capture video wherever you send it in the house

Now’s the time to buy

HOMEOWNERS must be sure to not to spend to much when renovating. PICTURE: IMMO RENOVATION/UNSPLASH ASPIRING homeowners should buy a property as soon as possible, even if it is smaller and cheaper than they had initially planned. PICTURE: MICHAL JARMOLUK/PIXABAY

OUSE PRICES are up all over the country, and with inflation and interest rates also on the rise, aspiring newcomers to the property market need to buy now. This might mean their first home will be smaller and cheaper than they originally planned it to be, says Gerhard Kotzé, managing director of the RealNet estate agency group. Fortunately, many people are able to work from home most of the time now, so they

can consider a property that is further from the centre of town, where properties are generally less expensive. He says those who still need – or prefer – to be close to a city centre will find developers are back in the market with small apartments that are relatively affordable. “But whatever your preference is – and this actually goes for repeat buyers too – it is time to buy before rising costs make it difficult, if not impossible, for you to finance your home purchase.”

DON’T OVERCAPITALISE WHEN DOING UP YOUR HOME EVER since the pandemic hit, the trend for home renovation projects has increased. But Adrian Goslett, regional director and chief executive of Re/Max of Southern Africa, advises homeowners always to consider the resale value of their properties before spending a lot of money. “Even if the homeowners have no intention of selling in the near to far future, it is always advisable to consider how the renovations could impact on the resale value of the property. “Shoddy workmanship

could have a negative impact on the home’s value. Similarly, homeowners might never make their money back if they have overcapitalised on renovations.” To avoid overcapitalising, Goslett recommends having a real estate practitioner professionally evaluate the property and suggest guidelines on a potential price cap in the given suburb. Once the project has been decided on, there are several ways in which a homeowner can fund a home renovation. The first is simply to save up until they

can afford to tackle the project. Alternatively, those who have an access bond could access the funds through their home loan. Goslett says this would be one of the most affordable ways to access credit. “But, unless you’re near the end of your loan term, I would caution homeowners to repay the loan as soon as possible. Interest accumulated over a 20-year home loan period will work out to be far more expensive than a personal loan taken out over two or three years.” Those without an access bond facility could take out a personal loan to fund the project but this will be at a much higher interest rate, he says.
