Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions

CAN OVERSEAS BUYERS BUY PROPERTY IN AUSTRALIA?

To start investing in real estate you need to understand the key drivers of the property investment market, as well as the inherent risks and rewards involved. Investing in real estate requires you to have a good credit history and the ability to obtain finance so that you can leverage your equity and obtain the best return on investment. Real estate investors should be very careful about where they invest in property in Australia, and should engage real estate investment experts and local property buyers’ agents who can guide them through the entire buying process. 

IS PROPERTY A GOOD INVESTMENT IN AUSTRALIA?

Investing in real estate can still deliver excellent ROI, if you choose the right location, the right kind of property, and manage your risks. Choosing where to invest in property is the key to your success. It makes sense to engage expert property investment agents as they can leverage extensive years of experience and local knowledge to help you make a wise selection of properties. They’ll help you to whittle down the list until you find the perfect property in which to invest.

HOW MUCH CAN YOU MAKE AS A REAL ESTATE INVESTOR?

The amount of profit or equity that you make as a property investor depends on where you invest and the investment strategies that you choose. The higher up the property investment food chain you go the bigger the profit you will make. For example, buying prestige property in Sydney could deliver outstanding capital growth, while large investments in the industrial property market could deliver higher yields. Buying properties off the plan typically means you make very little profit, whereas buying established properties and renovating them or developing properties from scratch gives you a much greater rate of return.

HOW DO I START INVESTING IN PROPERTY IN AUSTRALIA?

Property investment is very rewarding and can create bedrock wealth for your retirement. Having a good job with stable income is essential in order to qualify for a bank loan. If you already own a home and have some available equity, however, then leveraging that equity safely into an investment property is a smart move.

Once you have obtained finance pre-approval, you should set out to fully understand the dynamics of the property market. Real estate investors should learn what micro- and macro-economic factors drive the property market. New property investors would be wise to get help from qualified real estate investment experts who understand where to invest in real estate in Australia, and who can provide independent assistance to help you navigate the property investment market.

HOW CAN I MAKE PROPERTY A GOOD INVESTMENT?

Property as an asset class is an excellent investment if the right location and property types are carefully selected. Potential real estate and property investors need only look at the performance of median residential property prices in Sydney and Melbourne to see the significant returns that long-term investors can make by buying well located property. Investors seeking advice on where to invest in real estate should choose their advisors carefully. It’s important to ensure that any advice given is not tainted by commission driven sales people. You can get independent property investment help from buyers’ agents who are licenced in the state in which you intend to buy, who have a strong track record and at least five years’ experience.

HOW DO I INVEST IN PROPERTY IN AUSTRALIA?

To invest in Australian property, you can buy either as an Australian citizen or as a foreign investor. If you hold permanent residency (or are an Australian citizen) then you can buy established property. If you are classified as a foreign buyer, then you can only buy brand new property as regulated by the FIRB (Foreign Investment Review Board) guidelines.
The first step to considering where to invest in Australia is to get your finance pre-approved. The next step is to consider which property investment strategy will work best for your individual situation. The strategy takes into account, among others, tax, income, and stage of life considerations. Following this, you need to consider which suburbs to target. Experienced property buyers’ agents can provide you with the local information necessary to guide your decision.

HOW DO INVESTMENT PROPERTIES WORK?

Property investment is not rocket science. In fact, real estate investing is simply a matter of understanding what drives the numbers. It is critical as a property investor to create the right strategy, then choose the best location, and finally the right property type. The key numbers you need to consider are the purchase price (buy close to the median), the rent return (yield), the potential for capital growth, and the running expenses (especially borrowing costs). Using a simple spreadsheet is a good idea, and you could also consult a property investment expert who has specialised software to crunch the numbers.

WHAT IS A GOOD ROI FOR INVESTMENT PROPERTY?

Property investors typically want high capital growth and high yield. It is possible to find properties with both a positive cashflow and strong capital growth if you know where to invest in Australia’s real estate market. The actual ROI (Return on Investment) for property investors can be very high if you know how to leverage your cash or equity in the most tax effective manner. Real estate investment in Sydney for houses typically returns less than 3% gross, while in Brisbane it is easier to find houses with yields of 5% or above. However, the capital growth from properties held in Sydney and Melbourne over the past 10 years has seen prices rise more than 100% in some suburbs.
If you want to buy an investment property in Sydney, you should consult with local expert buyers’ agents who can provide reliable data and insights to make a wise decision.
