Buy and Hold

This is usually a long term strategy. You buy the property, be it residential or commercial and rent it out. If you have done your research well, the property will not only increase in value over that time, but during that time, you will have earned a significant amount of money in rent. This can go towards costs of owning the property, such as mortgage, rates and insurance etc. These costs also provide you with tax deductions which your accountant can advise you on. The rent however, doesn’t always cover the entire costs of owning the property.

This will depend on the property being positive or negative geared.

Negative Gearing

Negative geared property is used as a growth strategy. In areas where good capital growth is acquired it is difficult to find rental income that covers property ownership costs. In this respect, the amount of money to hold the property needs to come from elsewhere, usually your pocket.

Negative geared properties can become positive geared over the longer term by means such as paying down the mortgage in time, possibly decreasing the payment amount with refinancing, rents increase over time increasing income or you provide a larger deposit decreasing the borrowed amount. These are however usually longer term options.

The main goal with negative geared property is that it is in a high growth area and will increase significantly in value over time. When considering this strategy, particular attention must be paid to Capital Gains Tax on sale as this can be a significant amount.

If your portfolio overall is highly positive geared, a negative geared property can be used to balance the tax effect on earnings, thereby providing not only tax incentives, but a property with good growth prospects.

Positive and negative geared properties used in union are a very effective strategy.

Positive Gearing

Generally speaking, positive gearing as a strategy is used specifically to generate revenue. Whilst the property may also increase in value over time, this is not necessarily the main aim of the investment. It does however make a very handy benefit to this type of strategy.

One of the most significant advantages of this strategy is that the rental income pays for the entire costs of owning the property. Extra income can therefore be used to pay down the mortgage, to reinvest in the property by way of capital improvements or for you to use to live on or improve your lifestyle. With enough of this type of investment, your oceangoing cruiser, or that classic HSV Club Sport might be looking good.

Some investors consider this type of investment as a poor option since it does not provide tax incentives. The opposite applies in fact. This type of investment requires you to pay tax on the income earned. However, any good property accountant can advise you on ways to minimise tax.

At PPBA, this is a preferred investment option. We consider that if you are paying tax, you are earning money. Negative geared property must lose money to earn tax incentives and growth.

Renovation or Flipping

Renovate for a Profit or Flipping

There are basically two types of renovation strategies: Cosmetic and In-depth renovations. A popular type of renovation which you find on most TV renovation programmes is cosmetic renovations. Simply put, a slightly neglected property is purchased, given a coat of new paint often updating colour schemes, a garden makeover and any other simple inexpensive renovations. The property is then put on the market at a higher price. If done well, the new look property can provide significant profit in a reasonably short time, often as little as a few weeks. Once completed, the renovators then move on to the next property and repeat the process.

Although this can lead to significant profit, PPBA highly advise that significant due diligence and research should be conducted into renovation procedures well prior to purchasing any such property. There are many pitfalls in renovation that, if not handled well, can lead to monetary loss.

Renovate to Rent

This strategy is similar to renovating for profit, however the property is held for rent rather than renovated for quick sale. It is a strategy whereby a negative geared property may be turned into a positive geared situation.

It is likely that the property may have been initially a negative geared property. Once upgraded, the property can be used to command increased rent turning it into a positive geared property. In this calculation, costs of purchase, renovation and tax claims etc should be considered.

Passive Property Development

This strategy if for those who enjoy the idea of property investment, however don’t have the time to put into research, due diligence and self-education about property investment.

Generally, this type of investment is handled by well experienced property developers who use invested funds to develop a property. Once developed, investors receive a return on their investment. Such companies usually use investor funds for stable developments and go on to manage funds in further projects dependant on the investor inclusion contract. Such investment requires little input by the investor apart from funds. The investor doesn’t wholly own the development, but owns a share of the development.

Active Property Development

The opposite of passive property development, active property development requires a much greater effort on behalf of the investor. Being active in the investment could mean that you might take on a much greater role in discussions related to the development such as with vendors, lawyers, accountants and construction companies etc.

This is very much a full time job and is usually a strategy used by experienced investors who have built a portfolio from the ground up and have taken to development as the next step.
