WA resources sector grows by $12 billion The latter half of 2012 has seen an unprecedented amount of bad publicity surrounding the resource industry in Australia.

By Ryan Crawford, group director, Crawford Property Group However, when one takes a closer look at the state of our country’s largest income stream, the Western Australian economy continues to show signs of strength and growth. Of particular importance was the Deloitte Access Economics investment monitor for the September 2012 quarter, which shows that total planned or existing investment in Western
Australia stands at $281 billion – an increase of $12 billion over the past year. These figures underline the fact that WA’s resources sector is not a boom and bust economy, but rather a growing sector that is often misunderstood. Deloitte director David Rumbens said WA’s economic future based on these investment figures seemed assured for some time to come. “Even with few new approvals, resources projects under way will keep construction activity in the West humming along at heightened levels for several years yet,” he said.

move since 1990. As a direct result of the expansion of Chinese cities, it is predicted that 50,000 skyscrapers of 30 or more stories will be built – the equivalent of two Chicago’s every year during this period. In addition, it’s important to consider the continued industrialisation of India, which has a population of 1.2 billion people. Over the next decade, the demand for steel is expected to soar in India and this will help to underpin the demand for resources such as iron ore. The Western Australian Iron ore region is already beginning to see increasing activity by Indian companies in the resources sector and this trend is set to increase over the coming decade. So remember that the Pilbara Region offers more than just mining opportunities, because the astute property investor also has the chance to take part in what will become the counties greatest resources era experienced to date.
The reality is that short term fluctuations aside, the growing demand for our resources from both China and India will continue to power the WA economy for many decades to come. For example, The World Bank still forecasts that China will overtake the US as the world’s largest economy by 2030 if it maintains an annual growth rate of 8 per cent. While a large amount of the recent negative publicity has focussed on the European economies, it is important to remember that Australia’s economic fortunes are tied to Asia. One simple figure puts this into perspective – by 2025, it is estimated that there will be 221 cities in China with a population of over 1 million, whereas today in the whole of Europe there are just 35 cites with this population. Overall, it is expected that 350 million Chinese will migrate into cities by 2025, with more than 103 million having already made the

Grant not always best option for First Home Buyers
Some First Home Buyers might be better off foregoing the various grants on offer – for now – and making their first property purchase an investment property.
This strategy could work well for young professionals and others who have the scope to earn significant incomes in the coming years but want the benefits of property ownership now, according to Smartline Personal Mortgage Advisers. “First home buyers are often stretched in their savings and borrowing capacity, trying to get a foot in the door of the property market while only at the beginning of their lives and careers,” said Smartline Adviser Miriam Castilla. “The reality is, for most first home buyers their first property isn’t their long-term home, but rather a stepping stone. “Some of them aren’t even keen to move out of mum and dad’s house or their current rented property; they simply want to make a start on getting into the property market.” In these situations, purchasing an investment property the first time around, and becoming a renter-investor (someone who rents the property they live in, but has an investment property), could be the solution. For those looking to buy an investment property, when savings are good but borrowing capacity is tight, the first home owner grant is usually not a necessity to make the home purchase a possibility. The allowed borrowing capacity is usually higher for investment than owner occupier purchases, as the lender factors in the benefits of rental income plus tax deductibility of the loan in their calculations. “Most people also don’t realise that by not claiming the first home grant when they buy a property, they’re not forfeiting it all together,” Castilla said.
“If they do not live in the new property for a period of six or more months, they will still qualify for the first home owner grant down the track when they are ready to buy the home they do want to live in. “Therefore, not claiming the grant, at least for now, can be a very smart move for those who want to make that first move into property.
“Then, as the first home buyer advances in their career and has a significant increase in income, their borrowing capacity will also improve greatly, as will the ability to save more for a substantial deposit. “That may then be a good time to tap into the grants on offer.” Source: www.yourinvestmentpropertymag.com.au

The benefits of using a
property manager If you own an investment property and rent it to tenants, you can run this business yourself or hire a property manager to do it.
And that’s how you should regard this situation - it’s running a business. In Western Australia, around 60 per cent of investment properties are professionally managed by a real estate agency and the remaining 40 per cent are self-managed by private owners. The evidence suggests however, that the percentage of properties under professional management is growing. If you work part-time or are retired, have some basic legal competencies and understand the complexities of the Residential Tenancies Act, then managing your own property may work well for you. The problem is that many private owners don’t understand their legal obligations under the RTA and some get into difficulties as a result. Most owners underestimate the amount of time that goes into managing a property, or just how difficult, expensive and unpleasant things can become if a dispute arises. For example, if the tenants default on the rent, abscond or require eviction. This is where a property manager can be invaluable. From the start, a good property manager can arrange the public viewing of the property and then thoroughly check all applications and references from prospective tenants. This includes scanning the National Tenancy Database to see if any applicants have a history of unacceptable behaviour. Once suitable tenants are short-listed by the property manager and then chosen by
you as the owner, the property manager can arrange all the lease documentation, take care of the rent collection, bond lodgement, occasional maintenance, quarterly home inspections and utility expenses, such as water and Council rates. Property managers are also skilled at understanding the market rate for the property and setting the weekly rent accordingly. Many private owners tend to misjudge this or feel uncomfortable about reviewing the rent with renewed leases for existing tenants even though this can be unwise over the long term. The most important role of the property manager is to act as the link between the owner and the tenant in a professional way, so that the owner is not exposed to any situations that might be uncomfortable, while at the same time ensuring that the tenant can also raise issues without having to confront the owner directly. If a situation arises that requires going to court, which sometimes happens, property managers are familiar with the law and can represent you at the hearing. Property managers charge a percentage of the weekly rent as their fee, but this is fully tax deductable as part of your business expenses each financial year. Contact REIWA to find your local property managers or to enquire further about their role in the housing sector. source: www.reiwa.com.au
