Investment Property Guide
A Guide for Property Investors
Owning an investment property involves more than collecting rental income. The financial performance of a property can be influenced by borrowing costs, property expenses, rental income, ownership structure and the way the property is managed.
At Ray White The Property Managers, we understand that landlords need to consider these factors when managing an investment property. Our Investment Property Guide provides useful information to help property owners understand some of the financial and management matters that can affect a residential rental investment.
Who Is the Guide For?
The guide is suitable for new and experienced landlords, from those considering their first investment property to property owners with an established portfolio.
It provides an overview of areas that can affect the financial performance of a rental property and highlights situations where professional advice may be useful.
What You’ll Find Inside
The Investment Property Guide covers topics including:
- Expenses associated with owning and running a rental property
- Property management fees and other rental property costs
- Healthy Homes-related costs
- Interest and borrowing considerations
- Long-term rental properties compared with short-term rental use
- Property ownership structures
- Home office and mixed-use property considerations
- The bright-line property rule
- Factors that can affect the financial performance of an investment property
The guide also explains that financial and tax matters can be complex. Professional advice from an accountant, mortgage broker or financial adviser may be appropriate for individual circumstances.
Understanding Your Investment
Managing an investment property requires attention to both the property and its financial performance. Rental income, operating costs, maintenance and property management expenses all form part of the wider picture.
Having a clear understanding of these areas can help landlords review their investment and identify the information they need when making future property decisions.
