How to Maximise Your Return on Investment on a Investment Property

Have you decided that you’d like to invest in property, but are not sure how to maximise your return on investment (ROI)?

Here’s how we can help you maximise your ROI on a property investment:

Buy with logic, not emotion:

• The biggest pitfall of new buyers can be to purchase a property based on emotion, rather than logic. We help you to ensure that the investment ticks all the right boxes for solid long-term returns.

Buy at competitive prices using efficient and effective search methods:

• We can tap into an extensive network of agents and owners, enabling you to access prime properties, often before they enter the wider market. This can avoid you competing with other buyers who will push up prices or possibly beat you to your ideal property.
• We have a database of property owners which allows us to approach owners directly on your behalf.
• Our search periods are a small fraction of the average. We generally purchase a property for a client within 6 weeks, whereas a recent REIV study found that the average buying time was 12-13 months. Think of the increase in values that would occur during that extended period.

Purchase high-yielding properties:

• We understand what tenants are looking for within the property and in surrounding infrastructure and amenities. We can then use this information to buy you a property that is highly attractive to tenants therefore minimising vacancy periods and achieving excellent returns. As a result, we’ll assist you in purchasing a property that will generate above-average rental returns.

Reduce management and maintenance costs:

• We believe we are the most professional and efficient property managers in Melbourne. We are proud to provide great service to tenants as well as owners, increasing the likelihood that your tenants will stay with you for the long term. That reduces your periods of vacancy and re-letting costs. Your investment property is your tenants’ home, and we go out of our way to make things as easy as possible for them, provided they are treating you and your property responsibly.
• We also know what to look for in low maintenance properties. If repairs or maintenance are required, we utilise our network of experienced and responsible tradespeople who are familiar with procedures and accommodate tenants’ requirements wherever possible.

When the time comes to sell, achieve the best possible price:

• We like to work with our clients long-term, and if you decide to sell for any reason, we can act as your vendor’s advocate. We’ll assist you in: (a) selecting the most suitable agent; (b) negotiating a fair fee and marketing budget; and (c) ensuring they utilise the optimum methods for marketing and selling your property. We aim to take the stress and worry out of the transaction and decision making process for you, so that you can sleep well at night knowing that your property will achieve an optimum result.
• We are big believers in keeping property long term but for whatever reason that you have to sell you can be assured you’re in good hands.

Depreciation:

• Obtaining a depreciation schedule on your investment property is one way of maximising the return on investment you receive on your investment property. We all know land appreciates and buildings depreciate. The ATO have agreed to help investors obtain benefits from their ageing property. Only a small percentage of investors obtain depreciation schedules for their properties. Even if your property is 30 years old there are still some claims you can make that would really surprise you. If you have not got a depreciation schedule on your investment property you may not know how much money you are missing out on each year off your taxable income. We can recommend a reputable depreciation schedule expert if you need one and they give our clients a discount.
