Monthly update 14 Ways to Maximise your Investment! At Sandra Berry Real Estate our Property Management team does more than just find a tenant and collect the rent! Question 1:
Question 2:
The property next door is for sale. I’m considering buying it as an investment. Should I buy it as an investment?
Does having solar power and rainwater tanks affect the potential rental income I can ask for my investment Sandra Berry property? 0437 039 005
Answer: Buying an investment property because it is close to or neighbouring your home can have significant disadvantages. Professional distance between Tenants and Landlords is important in most cases. Buying an investment property needs a strategic approach based on sound investment principles. If the property next door fits all the criteria for a good investment, then buy it. If the only requirement it meets is convenience for you to keep and eye on it, then … don’t!!!
Answer:
sandra@sandraberry.com.au
My average power bill per quarter is $600 and my water bill is $200. Properties that have installed significant solar panels and tanks are minimising the costs to tenants significantly. In my case $3,200 per year. Investors should be adjusting their rents in accordance with these savings over time. In addition, these capital items have significant depreciable values that maximise your return. See our next issue for the following instalment of our ‘14 Ways’!
