Positive Gearing is when the property is bringing in more
money than what is going out. Neutral Gearing is when money
coming in is the same as what's going out (you can also have a
negative geared property but with the tax advantages from the
investment can make it Neutrally geared. Negative Gearing
is where money coming from the Investment and tax advantages is
less that what is going out.
Remember - you can
also have a Negative Geared Property giving
you a positive Cash Flow.
For
Example:
Lets say you have an Investment Property worth $250,000 at 7.5%
Interest Rate
= $18,750 per year
Rental Return 6% = $15,000 per year
_______________
-$3,750 short fall
But, due to expenses, depreciation of the building and internal
fittings and fixtures that I can be claimed against income tax, I
can reduce my personal tax by (for this example), $4,000 for the
first year.
- $3,750 short fall
$4,000 tax return
______________
$ +250 positive cash
flow
I'm making a whopping $4.80
per week! Not much, is it?
So you must first know what it is that you want in your Portfolio.
Have you ever thought to yourself- Why do Investors use
Positive Cash Flow?
More than likely it is due to low capital growth and the rent
increasing faster than the property value itself.
I'll give you an example.
Let's use the property mentioned above but use Positive Gearing.
I'm now going to put that property in a high capital growth area.
In the same year the investment property value increases from
$250,000 to an amazing $320,000. You can't go to the tenant and
say, My property is now worth more money, pay me more rent!
That doesn't work!
If you tried it you'd probably be without a
tenant!
With investment properties, you must always remember cash flow.
Don't fall into the trap of asking for higher rent and having
no-one wanting to rent your investment property!
Let's continue.
The property is now worth
$320,000
$320,000 at 7.5% Interest Rate =$24,000 per year
Rental Return 4.7% =$15,040 per year
Tax return claim =$ 4,000 first year
_______________
-$4,960 my short fall for this year.
So now this property will now cost you
approx $95 per week
Remember - negative geared properties will give you much more
money in equity which you can use for your retirement or to
purchase more investments.
I personally have all negative geared properties in high capital
growth areas. These properties are starting to be neutrally geared
due to rent going up over the years and offcourse with inflation.
What I will also say is, that it all depends on your
Comfort
ability, lifestyle and living expenses and your Cashflow.
If you have the chance to sit with me in a personal meeting then
you'll understand where I'm coming from. We will cover
comfort-ability, lifestyle and living expenses and together we
will work on what will best suit your personal cash flow. I
believe this is to be the most important part of Property
Investment.
You see how property
investment works, but is it for you?
You must answer these questions;
Does your Cashflow allow you to invest?
Does it work in with your goals in life?
What are you doing now for building Wealth?
What have you changed financially to start moving ahead with your
future?
