As safe as houses It has always been understood, and rightly so, that investing in property is an accepted means to increase wealth and forms part of any financial planning. Property, particularly residential property, is something we are all familiar with and can relate to. It is for this reason that investment in residential real estate is the most popular form of investment for many people. Due to the stability offered by property, financial institutions accept residential real estate as the most common form of security as they view it as the least risky. From the standpoint of the investor this provides the opportunity, through careful planning, to build a property portfolio.

Investing has different meanings but the economics of putting your money to work with the expectation of gain in the future is the paramount reason for people to buy investment property. As with most things involving your hard earned money, a thorough analysis of what you plan to invest in needs to be based on sound advice. Without the necessary consideration to all the relevant facts the “investment” becomes only speculation, a gamble. Buying a residential property as an investment with its secure status is therefore seen by many as the right investment for them. The important point to remember and appreciate is the best returns will be delivered over the long term as many factors influence the real estate market and property values. It needs to be remembered that the market is continually changing with one of the biggest factors being supply and demand in the area you plan to purchase your investment. With most investment property it is necessary to maintain and look after the asset. The idea of any investment is that it keeps providing a good return and is maintained to keep its value with little or no effort on your part. To achieve this, owners employ experienced real estate companies to manage their property. When selecting an agent to manage your property, look for one that has a proven record in property management and communicates well. The solving of problems is one area that will either make your investment in real estate a trouble free experience or one that

z Gaye Eacott is licensee at Real Aussie Assets becomes a problem. While property is a secure investment it will from time to time require maintenance and this needs to be managed efficiently. Remember, your investment property is your tenant’s home. Having a well-maintained property at all times will ensure that it will not be vacant as a well looked after rental house will always attract a good tenant. A vacant property will not be delivering rent for the investor, no tenant equals no income. The skills and attitude of your property manager will go a long way to ensure the rent is paid on time and the tenants are looked after in a professional manner. As with any investment, the investor’s personal plans and goals need to be

brought into the equation as investing in residential real estate is for the long term and this should be understood. We hear property investing stories from time to time that seem to be too good to be true. The rule here is that if they seem to be too good to be true they probably are. If possible invest where you feel comfortable and seek out all the qualified advice you can before spending your money. Understand all that is involved in owning an investment property and make an informed decision. There are not too many other investments that are as safe as houses. “The investor of today does not profit from yesterday’s growth”. Warren Buffett.

Keeping in touch with the market By Hayden Crawford In the Pilbara region it is vitally important to stay in touch with the rental and sales market or ensure you have a dedicated and experienced property manager or sales agent that can keep you informed and ensure that you are always getting the most from your property. As the property market moves very quickly in the Pilbara as supply and demand factors change, most recently the rental market has tightened significantly as demand has increased sharply due to project announcements resulting in population increases and continued lack of affordable housing. As a property owner it can be very helpful to keep up to

Mornington

date with these factors that are influencing the property market. In our area the availability of rentals and sale properties in the market currently, demand for rental and sale properties, supply of residential and development land to the public and large scale developers and major project announcements bring increased population to the region and further pressure on the available housing and create upwards pressure on the rental and sale prices. Another important factor to keep informed of as an owner is the current prices houses in your region are renting and selling for. This is very important as your property manager or sales agent will be using these recent sales or rentals combined with your property specifics to formulate your current sale or rental value. By keeping up to date with these increases you can not only be an informed owner but ensure

$500,000, - $550,000

that you keep your agents accountable. This can make a big difference when trying to find the right agent; one that you are comfortable with and confident with the prices you are being quoted. When considering renting or selling your property always keep up to date with your property maintenance and fix minor problems before they become major issues. These small costs can be $2000 or $3000 per year but will make certain you do not get stuck with major costs when selling or renting and ensure that you achieve the highest price in comparison with other properties on the sales and rental market that you are competing with. Knowing your competition is another significant factor to a successful sale or rental signing. Look at the other properties on the market and compare your asking sale or rental value, look at the positives and negatives of your property against the others just as a tenant or buyer would. You must make sure your property stands out above the rest. This general knowledge and understanding of the marketplace can guarantee your property is one of the most attractive by achieving the highest

Mornington

rental price increasing your sales value. After all rents have been increasing around $200 to $300 hundred dollars per week which can mean an extra $15,600 per annum of income and an extra $20,000 or $30,000 on your sales value. So don’t be afraid to stay informed as it will pay off for you when it comes time to rent or sell in this lucrative property market.

Mornington

Booming WA leads the way More than $89.5 billion worth of projects are under way in Western Australia, just over a quarter of all construction across Australia. Deloitte Access Economics’ latest report said one third of projects planned are in WA, valued at $140.1billion. Deloitte’s report said mining projects accounted for 46 per cent of all investment under construction or committed to in Australia. State Treasurer Christian Porter said the Federal Government must recognise the impact of WA’s resources sector on the national economy and its need for infrastructure. He said if WA’s GST grant funding is reduced, the sector will be starved of development support by the state.

z Lush gardens and a view of the hills

Station-style character home with studio North West Realty is very pleased to offer this executive character home in popular Pegs Creek for sale. This is a unique home which you should make time to view. Nestled amongst established gardens on a 735sqm block, this home exudes character and charm. With the full length front bull nose verandah shaded and protected by the lush gardens and a view of the Karratha hills, this is a great place to relax in the late afternoons. There’s even a water tank to catch that lovely rainwater to drink. On stepping inside, you will be impressed by a spacious lounge and dining area complete with sandstone flooring throughout, split airconditioning and ceiling fans. The main house consists of four bedrooms and two bathrooms; the very large master bedroom is complete with an ensuite and walk-through robe. The kitchen has plenty of space and cupboards for the most ambitious of chefs, and comes complete with dishwasher. The main bathroom is undeniably unique, with a cast iron clawfoot bath, corrugated iron finish, separate shower and a wonderful wooden vanity and trimmings. The rear yard is great for entertaining with huge full-length patio overlooking lush tropical gardens on automatic reticulation. The big surprise is a separate studio unit which

has been previously used a licensed bed and breakfast for extra income, or could be utilized as a teenage retreat or artist’s studio. The studio is built in the same style as the main residence and has a huge room with a raked ceiling and a stunning ensuite. It also boasts air-conditioning and lots of natural light. Next door to the studio is a large laundry with another small work room and a loft storage area overhead. This property has to be seen to be appreciated. Please call today to make your inspection time.

Carbon Tax The biggest question about Australia’s

Carbon Tax for property investors is what the impact will be on building costs and with just five months until the tax begins the Housing Industry Association says building prices will be affected. The Carbon Tax is the Federal Government’s platform for reducing carbon emissions. It puts a ‘fixed’ price on the amount of pollution emitted, with approximately 500 facilities paying $23 per tonne of CO2 emitted in the first year. The Government estimates that the tax will increase the cost of living by 0.7% in 2012— 13, with a predicted increase of less than 0.5% increase in food prices. Electricity and gas prices are estimated to rise by 10% and 9% respectively. The Carbon Tax will be paid indirectly by consumers through price increases as manufacturers and suppliers are charged higher electricity rates and material costs. The residential building industry will be affected significantly by the tax, through increased costs of materials and energy. Based on the most recent detail supplied by the federal government, the HIA estimates that the cost increase for an average new house due to the Carbon Tax will be in the range of 0.8% up to 1.7%.

z Despite major opposition the Carbon Tax will come into effect in July

Looking for a Property Manager with experience, commitment and results?

The level of compensation to businesses varies significantly, with small and medium sized building products manufacturing and fabricating businesses receiving no compensation of any substance. Most building materials have high levels of carbon intensity – particularly bricks, tiles, concrete, steel, timber and aluminium. Manufacturers and suppliers of these and other building products will be hit hard by the tax. High

‘Emissions-Intensive,

Trade-Exposed’

entities including aluminium, steel and flat glass producers will receive a 94.5% concession in the first year. Lower EITE entities like plastics and chemicals will receive a 66% concession. For small businesses with an annual turnover less than $2m, the existing ‘instant asset write off’ has been extended from $5,000 to $6,500. Non-EITE manufacturing businesses won’t receive any benefit or concession. The Carbon Tax will not affect fuel costs for households and trades, however many businesses that currently receive the fuel excise concession will lose an equivalent amount of it. For example, non-road transport such as earthmoving machinery will face an effective increase in the cost of diesel equivalent to 6.21 cents per litre. The residential building industry and the HIA are leaders in promoting sustainable building practices and energy efficient housing. However, the HIA does not believe that a policy that will increase costs, disadvantage local manufacturing and ultimately export Australian jobs is the answer. As jobs go overseas, so too will the associated carbon emissions and the environment will be no better off. The flagship of the HIA environmental program is GreenSmart, a market driven program operating since 1999. Builders, suppliers and consumers recognise the environmental benefits they can accrue from innovation and action, without the heavy handedness of additional regulation or taxes. The success of this approach is reflected in there being over 4,000 GreenSmart accredited professionals promoting building principles that improve efficiency and reduce waste and create the legacy of a safer, sustainable and more energy efficient homes. The end result is a lower carbon footprint in the building of a home and reduced energy use through its lifetime.
