The wealthiest
investors have one thing in common, they are always eager to learn new
strategies. We have the strategy for the mum and dad investors:
In a recent
Australian newspaper article, there are landlords who were reported to have
lost over $43 billion within the last decade from rental investments. Most of
the properties they purchased are residential properties. This problem may seem
like it’s not supposed to happen to them, surely they were able to achieve financial
freedom when they invested in real estate. However, purchasing properties is
not as simple as it looks.
Before a home owner can make money from the real
estate they invested in, they need to earn the amount used to cover the cost of
the property. In a negative gearing market, the most profitable properties are
commercial instead of residential. This is due to how commercial tenants can
ensure a positive cash flow in comparison to residential tenants.
From the
first day they occupy the space, you can already determine if they are able to
generate enough income to cover the rent. Now, Investing in real estate
requires proper planning if you want to create a positive cash flow it. As mentioned
above, you cannot just purchase any property and expect it to make money right
away. There are certain things to consider when looking for a commercial
property.
Below are
some of the things to consider when choosing a commercial property:
1. Determine
the amount you are going to spend. Keep in mind of the 30 to 40% for deposit or equity of the commercial property.
2. Determine
the type of property you are going to invest in. These can be a retail,
industrial, or medical
property.
3. Determine
the right location for the property. Consider the cost of the space and the surroundings.
When looking for a location for your property, you can also check other similar commercial
establishment in the area. This can help you determine if your investment can generate a
positive cash flow or not.
4. Determine
the total cost of the property as well as the taxes when you are able to choose
the three things
mentioned above. Try to ask other commercial establishments how much the rent they are
paying is. This will help you know the right amount to charge your tenants
with.
5. The last
thing to consider is to learn more strategies in investing in commercial
properties. The wealthiest
investors have one thing in common, they are always eager to learn new
strategies. One strategy
to consider is to utilise the tax deduction you will receive when you purchase
any property.
This is only a short-term plan which
should give you enough time to find the right tenants. For a long-term
strategy, look for a commercial property which seems likely to generate a
positive cash flow. If you have one which is able to generate at least a net of
8.5% in profit and the mortgage interest rate 6%, you are now earning money.
To clarify
the sample mentioned above:
Your
property might cost about $200,000 and the rent paid to you is about $20,000
per year. Your net return here is 10%. Now, if you purchase the property with a
loan which has an interest rate of 7% per year, you can still earn $6000 per
year which is 3%.
By following
everything mentioned above, you should be able to break away from a negative
gearing market and start creating a positive cash flow from your properties.
