WHEN Y U WANT Real success

Thank you MPP

That’s interesting

MPP continues to boost our land sales in the Viewpoint Aroona estate. With the Queensland Building Boost Grant extended to the end of April, anyone seeking the perfect opportunity to build in an unbeatable elevated location should look no further. We’re having real success with P. our marketing plan. Thanks MPP.

From one quarter-page advertisement in My Property Preview, the first open home attracted 11 inspections at 4 Seafarer Court, Bokarina and two written offers plus further inspections and enquiry during the week! What can I say but thanks t. MPP for another outstanding result.

On a property we recently marketed we had a five-week auction campaign with 12 groups attending on auction day. While the property was passed in, it was under contract within 48 hours. The advertising also gained interest for another unit within the same complex. Thanks MPP!!

Advertising works

Incredible result

Buyers read MPP

In the March 2 issue we had a half-page advertisement, which resulted in 28 inspections on the canal home at 27 Pelican Waters Boulevard! The benefits of a quality marketing product such as MPP speak for themselves. Now my four- week marketing campaign P. begins. Many thanks MPP.

I recently ran a four-week auction campaign in MPP. This property had been sitting on the market for some time with minimal enquiry and I advised the owners to rejuvenate the listing. The campaign attracted 43 would-be buyers with an amazing 39 of these coming from the MPP ad. We had six offers prior and three bidders, then it sold under the hammer. s. The results speak for themselves.

Having sold my last two auction properties under the hammer and prior to auction, one of the key factors in this success is getting quality enquiry, and lots of it. MPP delivered my sellers 49 inspections through the campaigns. I talk to lots of buyers and sellers and they read MPP. It is a top-quality glossy property magazine free to your doorstep every single week – you can’t beat that.

T IT Plenty of interest

Another perfect result from marketing in MPP. The owners of 13 Bluegrass Street, Little Mountain initially thought a marketing campaign was out of their reach, but with eye-catching signage and larger ads in MPP they were on to a winner. This home took just two days to sell and the first open home advertisement generated 15 inspections rs. and three offers.

Darren Ide, RealWay Caloundra

Miners read the mag Thank you so much to MPP again – we achieved a wonderful result for both buyer and seller. The buyer was all the way out at the mines, with his copy of MPP and spotted his future dream home. As a result of the six degrees of separation his family is now living the coastal lifestyle, not possible without the P. vision and action of MPP.

Welcome

Real estate agent index

I finally became a home owner (read: mortgage holder) for the first time a few years ago, after more than 15 years of paying some form of rent. As a serial renter I’d always dreamed of buying my own place, something a bit rundown that needed some work. I imagined weekends spent in Bunnings and up ladders, juggling paint sample pots and performing some simple DIY that would transform my new house into a home. When I finally did move into a place where my name was on the rates notice, it did require some work – painting mainly – which I threw myself into enthusiastically, well, for the first few days anyway. I’m ashamed to report the architraves and doors into the lounge room are still waiting for their first coat. The reality of renovation (even if it is just slapping on some paint) is that it can be hard work. For investors with rental properties that need some love, out of sight is too often out of mind, and as long as the rent keeps coming in, why bother with the hassle and expense of renovating? I went looking for the answer to that question for this week’s cover story, and found it on page 6. I just wish I could find the energy to finish those architraves.

cover story

Rewarding repairs WORDS JEMMA PEARSON

It’s time to fix up the rental property, but is it worth spending the cash, and what do tenants really want? MPP finds out.

e’ve all toyed with the idea of buying a rundown rental property, adding a coat of paint and some new bathroom taps, then sitting back to watch the prospective tenants fight it out to live there. Renovating a home to rent out is a valid investment strategy, and something many property owners have done successfully, but how easy is it to get it wrong? And how much money can you make by simply throwing up some new curtains and laying down fresh carpet? Smith & Sons’ Monica Kohler knows a thing or two about renovations, and is a firm believer b that revamping a tired rental home is essential. ess “Renovating a rental property will ensure ensur the home is maintained (providing optimal rental r return) retur ) and kept at ‘current’ market value,” valu she ar some big do’s and some som even says. But there are bigger don’ts that apply to the process. proces

The do do’s… o’s…

“Stained,, worn ccarpets arpets sshould hould be replaced, rrepla while w painting pa aint will wil ll freshen f up tth the property prope e and create a clean ‘new’ appeal,” ap says Monica. “Laminate “L benchtop ps in the benchtops kitchen and nd bathrooms b are relatively cheap to re eplac and replace will modernise the hom me. F home. Fitting inexpensive roller b blinds to replace worn wind window ndow fu furnishings will provide a cl clean lean mi minimalist appeal and wil will ll complement compl the freshly pa painted ainted wa walls.” Glennis Schindler from S Murphy adds, Vic Murph hy Real Estate Est “Tenants are a looking for fencing, fans and security sec screens. screens s. Add those tthings [landlords] and [l landlords] can ask for will get moree money and w more mo ore applicants.”

Page 6.indd 1

Sometimes simply thoroughly cleaning the walls with sugar soap, giving the garden a good weed and washing the grubby curtains makes all the difference. A thorough clean is what Glennis advises her owners to do. “The better the property presents, the better the chance you’ll have of securing a good-quality tenant.” However, while every tenant has different needs, most are looking for plenty of storage, which is something that is often lacking in older homes. Add built-in robes to the bedrooms and some extra storage in the garage or outdoor area and you should be able to add an extra $10 or

$20 a week to the asking rent. Those cupboards will pay for themselves within a year.

…and don’ts Tenants have their own furnishings and favourite colour schemes, so brightly painted feature walls and unique, extravagant fixtures – even expensive, high-quality ones – can turn off would-be renters. “You have to keep to very basic and standard fixtures and fittings,” says Glennis. “Don’t go overboard and keep the colouring very neutral. And add practical carpet that will clean well.” A common area where owners come unstuck is outlaying too much cash, especially on things like pools and spas, or making unnecessary structural changes that don’t make the home any more appealing to renters or translate to higher rents.

CASE STUDY

Keep to basic and standard fixtures and fittings. Don’t go overboard and keep the colouring very neutral. And add practical carpet that will clean well Glennis Schindler, Vic Murphy real Estate

Always have the tenant in mind when making changes – it might be pointless splashing out on a big kitchen if your likely tenants are students or young people, but if the property is in an area that appeals to families with kids, popping in that extra bathroom will pay dividends. Unless the electrical wiring or plumbing has to be moved or replaced because it is damaged or unsafe, leave it alone – tenants won’t see changes here so money spent won’t be recouped on rent. “Set a budget and stick to it!” Monica advises clients who are embarking on a renovation. “Talk to a professional renovation consultant who will specify a range of modern finishes within a budget.” Have a plan about what you want the property to achieve in the short, medium and long term and make decisions based on that plan. Spending $10,000 on a kitchen that adds say $50 a week to the asking rent might not seem like a sound investment, but that $50 translates to $2600 a year, and the capital expenditure adds to the value of the property, which is important when it comes time to sell. So, when is it worth dropping some cash on big improvements?

to renovate the kitchen and will modernise it at the same time. “The most important area to renovate in a rental property is the bathroom,” she adds. “Silicon sealants and waterproof membranes quite often fail over time. This may cause water damage in the walls, structural damage as well as mould and damage to carpets and walls to the adjoining areas. A full bathroom renovation – including waterproofing, re-tiling and adding easy-to-clean and water-efficient fittings – will ensure this area remains watertight, modern and hygienic.” If you are buying a new property with the aim of renovating to rent it out, thoroughly research the market as you would any other property investment. Take a look around some rental properties in the area you are looking to buy in and see what they are lacking. Talk to tenants to find out what they need. And bend your real estate agent’s ear – he or she will be a great source of information on what tenants are after. Getting some advice from people who have done it before isn’t a bad idea, either.

Updating appliances, benchtops, splashbacks, sinks, taps and cabinetry handles are cheap ways to renovate the kitchen

Splashing out “Kitchens and bathrooms are the most worn areas in a home,” says Monica. “Updating appliances, benchtops, splashbacks, sinks, taps and cabinetry handles are relatively cheap ways

Three years ago Bev and Dexter McMullin and Bev’s sister Lorraine Horn bought their first rental property, and three more properties on, they haven’t looked back. Renovating has been a big part of their investment strategy. “We spent quite a bit of money on renovating one of those four,” says Bev. “It was a slightly cheaper property, but that kind of capital expenditure is all about long term. The ones we renovated to rent were excellent properties. They had great potential to be good, sturdy rentals over time. We try to renovate to a good standard that is going to last.” As a result, says Bev, the trio gets a better tenant. “If we look after the house, the tenant will look after it.” But the work doesn’t stop when the tenant takes hold of the key. Bev, Dexter and Lorraine also have an excellent property manager, and Bev says whenever repairs need to be carried out on one of their properties they get onto it straight away. Bev says this shows the tenant that the home is valuable to its owner, and as a result, the tenant is more likely to look after it. “When you buy a house you have to have a vision for it,” Bev says. “Every property we buy we have a specific purpose.” She adds, “If we get a good house and we spend say $10,000 to $15,000 on it, that might sound like a lot but that money can translate into perhaps an extra $70 a week. Look at that over five to seven years and that’s a good return.” So what do tenants want? “Location,” says Bev. “Buy a property that is close to transport. And if you want to attract families, look at schools close by as not everybody has a car or wants to use the car all the time. We also look at the size of the yard and whether it has a fence. For us we don’t mind families with pets – what family doesn’t have a pet?”

A snapshot of who’s doing what in the industry Say what, Michael?

Welcome Waterfront Agents

Two local specialists launch a boutique agency with a difference in Minyama.

property expert with decades of experience writing on the region has come out in defence of local property after morning TV personality David Koch made disparaging remarks about our real estate market. Michael Matusik – who is not known for sugar-coating the news – publishes a weekly commentary on property (MPP reprinted one of his columns last week) called the Matusik Missive, and on March 7, Michael dedicated his missive to Mel’s other half. Apparently Kochie used some strong language in describing the Sunshine Coast’s property market (which he lumped in with the Gold Coast’s) as being “catastrophic”. It was this that Michael took umbrage to and in his missive he offered some promising numbers on Kawana hospital, one of the nation’s largest infrastructure projects, in answer to Kochie’s claims. Michael wrote, among many other things, “The ‘Kawana Health Hub’ – for the sake of calling it something – is a very big regional initiative, comparable with a major resources project. Yet few know about it. It is a game changer; a recovery catalyst; a smart job generator which the likes of David Koch should be

spruiking rather than carpet bombing.” The missive is too long to reprint here, but MPP recommends readers head to matusikmissive.wordpress.com/ 2012/03/07/kochie/. In fact it’s worth signing up for what Michael describes as his “weekly bluster”. Will the Sydney-based television presenter actually listen? Perhaps not – blanket statements of doom and gloom still unfortunately command more column inches in many of the country’s newspapers, and require less research. Clearly Kochie didn’t read MPP’s cover story last week on maintaining a positive attitude. Or maybe he just needs a holiday – we know a great place for that!

ocal agents Trevor and Glenys Martin are celebrating 10 years since moving to the Sunshine Coast by using their experience in waterfront and coastal property sales to launch their own business, called Waterfront Agents. It’s a big step for any agent to launch his or her own brand, but after working under someone else’s brand for a decade, the timing is right for this husband and wife team. “The big thing for us was wanting to do it our way,” says Trevor. “We want to be in charge of our own destiny.” It makes sense that they specialise in this area of sales – they live on the waterfront and are passionate about the water and waterfront property. Trevor is also a keen yachtsman who races his Etchells, called Three Ring Circus, and SB3, called Blue Tac, whenever he is not out selling real estate. “One of our big differences is we want to be one of the top conjunctional agents,” Trevor adds. “We want to be the first agents on the Coast to fully conjunct auctions – this benefits the seller, as more people mean better results. We are happy to conjunct with all reputable agents on the Coast.” Buyers and sellers can find the Sunshine Coast’s newest agency at Noel Burns house on Nicklin Way, Minyama.

How home cooks are helping the kids

t’s something many westerners take the time to do when visiting poorer parts of the world – stop in at the local orphanage, offer some money, hand out gifts to the children and walk away wishing more could be done. After a trip to Cambodian orphanage Together for Cambodia about two years ago, MPP publisher Michael Kramer did do more. He came home and quickly persuaded MPP staff, a Melbourne chef, a well-known food photographer and printers PMP to donate time and resources to help him put together a cookbook, which he called Food for the Soul. Sold in local cafes, online and in Spotlight stores, the book has so far raised more

than $30,000 for the Siem Reap orphanage, and earlier this month Michael visited the country to see how the much-needed funds are being spent. Michael says, “Money raised from sales of the book has provided food, clothing, education and counselling to the orphanage’s 39 children, some of whom have been orphaned as a result of AIDS, some have been abandoned, while others come from families that live in extreme poverty.” Full of tasty recipes, the books make great gifts. Find out where you can get your copy by phoning the MPP office on 5444 0152.

Tax reform essential WORDS STUART COLLINS

The Housing Industry Association joins other commentators in calling for tax reform to ease the financial burden of home ownership.

ver many years the Housing Industry Association, which is the peak industry body for residential construction, has been consistently calling for major tax reform to deliver affordable housing to all Australians. Despite construction costs in general having increased only in line with the CPI over the past decade, other costs attributable to taxes and levies have pushed the dream of home ownership outside the realms of many aspirants. Late last year the Centre for International Economics’ independent economic modelling vindicated HIA in its advocacy on this issue by finding that the total taxation burden on a new home in many instances exceeded 40 per cent of its purchase price. On the Sunshine Coast, which has some of the least affordable residential land in Australia, the tax burden could well be more when one of the offending taxes, stamp duty, is applied to these higher prices. These taxes are levied by all tiers of government and can add almost $200,000 to the end price of a standard house and land

package on the Sunshine Coast once the cumulative effects of imposts such as stamp duty, land tax, infrastructure charges and GST are factored in. There’s also the proliferation of new taxes such as Queensland’s waste management levy and the Federal Government’s carbon tax to add even further pressure on new house prices. Unfortunately, this reliance on the taxation of new housing has had a negative economic and social impact. Deteriorating housing affordability has stymied housing activity, which is costing jobs and generating a critical under-supply of housing stock. With residential construction being a key driver of the economy, this is not a desirable outcome, and governments at all levels may be finally waking up to the fact that the new-housing industry is not the ‘cash cow’ they thought it was. The Federal Tax Forum held in October 2011 may well have provided the first signs of this awakening. This forum had as one of its objectives the alleviation of the nation’s chronic housing shortage through tax reform, an objective that was fervently

supported by this association. This objective allowed us on behalf of industry to highlight the inequitable tax treatment of new housing and to promote tax incentives that encourage investment in new housing stock. At the same time we urged the government to maintain its commitment to: • not alter the treatment of the family home in the income support means test; • provide a fiscal focus on improving the efficiency of housing supply; and • reform stamp duty, which is a highly inefficient tax. Housing is a true necessity of life and the current restrictions to housing supply, including excessive taxation, have created a large dwelling shortage that has driven escalating prices and climbing rents, and has placed unnecessary financial pressure on Sunshine Coast residents already struggling to meet the rising costs of living. More needs to be done to address this, and the conversations that were had with government in 2011 need to be progressed this year and must lead to proper tax reform.

Stuart Collins is the Sunshine Coast branch manager of the Housing Industry Association

These taxes are levied by all tiers of government and can add almost $200,000 to the end price of a standard house and land package

Harcourts event pulls a crowd The team from Harcourts were kept busy at last Wednesday’s in-room auction event – as well as negotiating with registered buyers and keeping track of bids, they had to hunt for more chairs. A crowd of more than 65 people packed into the function room at Grand Pacific Resort in Caloundra to see seven properties go under the hammer. “It was a great turnout on the night, with standing room only,” says Harcourts Caloundra principal Sally Mulhearn. “The event had a relaxed feel, with Harcourts auctioneer Ben Brady (pictured) calling the action.” Ben was quick to take healthy opening bids on several properties, with homes in Pelican Waters proving popular. While no sales were recorded on the night, Sally says she and her team are still busy following up on interest.

Short and sweet Andrew Staehr from Archers Body Corporate speaks to MPP about the importance of communication among bodies corporate and unit owners.

sk any unit owner what the worst thing about strata living is, and they’ll probably mention something about drawn-out body corporate meetings. No one likes a long meeting, but in the past six months there have been major changes to body corporate laws and the penalties for non-compliance are hefty. Archers Body Corporate director Andrew Staehr reminds unit owners that it is important to attend body corporate meetings, to keep up to date with changes in legislation, agreements and general changes within the complex. “Attending body corporate meetings is often overlooked by unit owners,” Andrew adds. “But regular, efficient meetings are key to keeping costs down, keeping the management of your complex organised and ensuring all owners and tenants are happy.” Open communication is essential and Archers offers these 10 tips on getting the most out of these meetings in the shortest time possible.

Start your meeting on time – It might seem S o obvious but waiting for latecomers is often tthe biggest problem and only reinforces for them that they can be late next time.

S deadlines – If owners communicate any Set c concerns or information before meetings, m managers have time to incorporate it into the agenda and ensure it gets discussed.

C Create an agenda – Arrange it so you’re d dealing with the most pressing matters, p particularly matters of compliance, first.

E Ensure the chairperson chairs the meeting

W Write notes about every item on your aagenda and stay on track – Avoid raising tthings like new business in a meeting unless it’s absolutely essential, and only at the end of the meeting. C Circulate your agenda and reports before tthe meeting – Everyone will arrive p prepared. C Circulate motions before the meeting

A Av Avoid open discussions – Each member s should be given the opportunity to have his o her say through the chairperson. Once or a decision has been made on a topic, it’s important to move on to the next matter. C Consider using technology – Video and t teleconferencing can be good to keep p people focussed. S Stick to your time frames – When all owners a aware of an impending deadline they will are b more inclined to deal with matters quickly be and efficiently.

hinterland

It’s a Victorian-style building on top of the hill, and from the main residence and units you can look down to the coast

The established property still has lots of potential

Head and heart in the Clouds

ucked away on the ridge 2.5 kilometres south of Montville, one of the hinterland’s most well-known lifestyle businesses is on the market. Clouds of Montville is a boutique, Victorian-style accommodation house offering a range of garden rooms, suites and self-contained cottages, and marketing agent Trevor Jones from Next Property Group says the property is perfectly suited to a buyer looking for a tree change with a handy income on the side. “The owners have enjoyed 16 years there but

are ready to retire,” he says, adding that they plan to stay in the area and would be happy to provide support to the new owners during the transition period. Clouds of Montville has been their only source of income during that time and while the business is solid, with audited profit and loss statements available to prospective buyers, Trevor says it also has huge revenue growth potential. “It’s a very nice, Victorian-style building on top of the hill, and from the main residence and units you can look down to the coast,” Trevor

says. “Those views are protected by an easement across the road and will never go. There’s plenty of scope to market the property either as a wedding venue, or as accommodation for people attending other venues in the area. It’s got huge potential and is quite iconic, and there’s a lot of structure there.” Set on five landscaped acres, Clouds of Montville has a two-storey main residence constructed from double brick and featuring four bedrooms (two with walk-in robes), two

The kitchen has new stainless steel appliances, a walk-in pantry and an enclosed verandah to the north, while a wood fire adds a rustic touch to the spacious living and dining area. The home adjoins a comfortable reception and office area, which services the adjacent accommodation house. Also constructed in late Victorian style, this two-storey building has four garden rooms, five self-contained units and four suites. Each has its own kitchen area,

reverse-cycle air-conditioning and a flat-screen TV. On each level there is a family room capable of sleeping up to five people, and the first-floor units open to a wide verandah with sweeping views. In 2001 an additional four cottages were built at the rear of the property, offering private accommodation for couples. These each boast a king-sized bed, two-person spa and wood fire plus timber floors, pitched ceilings and stained glass feature windows. Designed for romantic getaways, they each have a kitchen and access to the property’s outdoor facilities, which include a saltwater pool, small tennis court and undercover barbecue area. On the grounds the current owners have used plenty of native plants and trees, and each September there is a lovely display of orchids. The property also has a generator, water tanks and a total of 18 sealed car spaces. Trevor says buyers in the range of $2 million plus should enquire, and Clouds of Montville is ideally suited to someone looking to relocate or downsize to a more peaceful lifestyle. “Someone who wants a lifestyle change, sees this property and thinks, ‘I can live there in a beautiful residence and never have to leave my door to go to work’,” he adds.
