Here are some good reasons that you should:

1. More institutions are lending. Take the opportunity now because, at the moment, banks and other lending institutions are more inclined in lending money. Property investment is constantly on the rise and banks want to be part of a booming business.
2. Interest Rates at a Bare Minimum. With the economy still trying to get a grip on stability, interest rates in Australia will not be likely to rise much if at all within the year. With interest rates still low, venture your way into property investment.
3. Property Investment can be done wherever you are. Technology has made it possible for everything to be simpler, even property investment. It is easy to learn the real estate cycle. And taking advantage of great opportunities in different places can be done online. You can easily invest in property no matter where you are.
4. It offers better security than other forms of investments. Though it’s great to invest your money in the stock market, you’re not guaranteed a constant profit. The stock market is very volatile. Meaning it can double or even triple your investment now and crash unexpectedly tomorrow. Real estate investment is more stable and it offers a constant and growing profit for now and years to come. It’s a tangible strategy for investment.
5. It’s an easy business to get into. Anyone can get into real estate investmenting. You don’t need a degree in property investment to be successful at it. It is a business where learning is done in the practical sense.
6. Property value increases over time. Get property you can develop now, while prices are low. Getting things at a cheaper price for property now and selling at the right time in the cycle can potentially double your investment over the next 10 years.
7. You will never run out of tenants. No matter where you are, you can find a tenant. Real property investment is a tangible business that you can easily profit from, especially if you get the right advice.
8. More jobs are open in the market. There are an increasing number of full-time jobs now. You will be sure that you will have tenants who would be able to afford what you’re offering. More capable tenants, means a bigger pool of opportunities.
9. More and more people are looking into real estate. You wouldn’t want to enter a business that practically everyone is in at the moment. You would love to be a part of a great venture when it rising than be part of it when it’s already booming. Take advantage of property investment while it hasn’t been saturated in regions where we can offer higher than normal return on investment.
10. Ten years in the future you would question yourself why you didn’t start now. You’ll definitely wish you started as early as you could once you get into it. So start investing in property now!

• Study Your Finances

Everything starts with your budget. How much do you have and how much are you willing to file a loan for? Your finances don’t just refer to how much money you have, it’s all about managing your finances.

Set a budget for everything you currently spend money. Budgeting your finances will help you balance your income and expenses. It’s the only way for you to not only make ends meet but also make sure that you can make the most profit out of every investment you make.

• Study the Market

Properties don’t actually depreciate in value. As a matter of fact, as time goes by, an original house and land package actually rises in it’s asking price. It’s great for profit but it also makes it hard to get started in property investment, when asking prices are high. As a property investor fishing around to make your first investment, look for house and packages that are being sold by the bank for a fraction of its original and actual value. These properties are acquired by banks due to foreclosures and you can definitely turn each of these properties around for your benefit.

Study what the area requires, do they need house rentals, bed and breakfasts or are the neighborhood block sizes suitable for duplexes. One can be rented out and you could live in the other or it could be sold for a profit. You have to understand the needs of the area and your target market.

• Understand the Risks

Property investment can be a really risky business. One small move can either cost you or win you some. Every property has its risks, you will never be guaranteed an exact amount of income until after you’re done and you can rent out your unit or sell it.

You also need to understand just how brazen you are and how willing are you to make sacrifices. Risks are high in property investment. It’s a volatile market and you need to understand your attitude towards these risks. Your attitude heavily affects the strategies and plans for your future investments.

• Set Goals

Set short-term goals and long-term goals. Set contingency plans and exit strategies too. To be successful at property investment means that you need to plan things carefully. You need to plan things after analyzing the risks, balancing your profits and losses, and more.

• Prospect Potential Properties

Patience and keeping sharp are the best characteristics that you need to get started in property investment. Patience really pays off, don’t get too excited about acquiring property if you haven’t done your research about the property you’re going to get. You also need to learn how to understand the risks each property poses. When it comes to getting started in property investment, use your head and not your heart in making decisions.

There has never been a better time for property investment in Brisbane. The Brisbane City Council has prepared a 118 page document outlining the plans for infrastructure investment through to 2031. You can view this significant document here: Brisbane long term infrastructure plan

Population growth is expected to reach to nearly 1.3 million by 2031, or 14.1% This will require around 156,000 new dwellings, most of which will be delivered via infill and redevelopment.

670,000 new jobs forecast by SEQ 66% of which will be located in the metropolitan Brisbane area. 290,000 will be in Brisbane City itself.

This unprecedented population growth will result in high demand for inner city accommodation, a trend which has not gone unnoticed by developers, with the Brisbane skyline dotted with high-rise developments.

Brisbane is blessed with a sophisticated modern economy, cultural diversity, and world-class industry capabilities, all of which make the city a hot-spot for foreign investment. Find out more here: About Brisbane

Dual occupancy homes provide a unique investment opportunity where it is possible to rent one side of the house out while living in the other.

A dual occupancy development consists of two dwellings built on one block of land. These homes may be either attached to each other like a duplex, or constructed as separate dwellings. A granny flat is a good example of the latter.

Dual key living may be another way of achieving a dual occupancy home. A dual key home is a home where the occupants can have separate secure access, without the need for a duplex construction. The home is just like a normal property, but it might consist of a main home with all the normal rooms, with separated locked access to a studio apartment within. Dual key designs often share some common areas, such as the entrance foyer.

However you go about it, the aim is to achieve two income producing properties on the one site. It may even be possible under some circumstances to achieve dual living without requiring two titles. Adequate parking, and compliance with council regulations is an important consideration in any such project.

Dual Occupancy home designs appeal to two demographics in particular. One is the student market, the other is the aging population. Even young urban professionals may be attracted to the dual living concept in all its forms.

Dual occupancy homes can be cash flow positive, and have the potential of providing a higher return on investment. (ROI) Dual occupancy homes allow you to build wealth faster, have multiple income streams and lower costs.

So, what is dual occupancy?

As an investor, you could rent both sides out to maximise your return on investment. An owner occupier could live in one side and rent out the other so that your tenants help you to pay the mortgage. Your teenagers or a student border may not be quite ready to move out on their own, so this is a perfect opportunity to keep them close while providing the freedom to come and go unnoticed. If the time has come to give something back to your parents, then this is the perfect opportunity to provide for their needs.

Dean Ind, is constantly on the lookout for land and development opportunities where dual occupancy can be achieved. Give Dean a call today to explore the possibilities! 0426 296 672

Client 1>

A client of ours that we recently spoke to had an investment home in Brisbane and owned the home for seven years. Their structure was completely wrong, although they did buy in the right location. They purchased the home as an investment property and had the home completely under the rental value, returning around 3%, we soon changed that to 5%.
Secondly had or didn’t realise that they could claim a substantial tax return and we discovered that there was a $42,000 return for them from the ATO.
Thirdly they had an offer from a builder to buy their property at the same price they paid for the home seven years ago. (This raised alarm bells) after researching the comparative sales in the area and reviewing the home we realised after a game plan of around $30,000 in renovations we can sell the home or increase the value to an extra $350,000. Now we are ready to look at the next step for this client.

Client 2>

This particular client wanted to or had a dream to buy a 2 bedroom unit or apartment on the Sunshine Coast. They stated on the first consultation that they wanted a weekender and were looking at a 20 plus year old property. OK!!
A number of things wrong here.
1. No rental returns as they didn’t want anyone to live in it as they wanted to use the property for a weekender
2. No tax advantages like depreciation and they could only claim on losses and outgoings.
3. Maintenance issues being an older property, it was due to have a list a mile long. New oven, new dishwasher, paint, carpet etc. So saved them tens of thousands of dollars.
4. Pending on position, style of property we were looking at a price point of $290,000 up to $550,000.

Solution and outcome: We found after research a brand new 2 bed, 2 bath, 1 car apartment tremendous ocean and river views, rental returns in the first month of 6% net and the next four months achieved 6% and 6.5%, and the first year tax returns was $17,500. Purchase price $545,000, near all shopping and restaurants, and all facilities in the complex that your heart can desire. Resale value always going to be there as position was A grade, and being brand new and all facilities in the building complex plus the wonderful view it was a no brainer.
And they get to use the apartment when they want. This is a great outcome for the client.
