Property Investment Strategy Overview: Growth & Cashflow

This strategy focuses on finding an investment property asset that balances capital growth and rental income. These investments are chosen for their potential to appreciate over time while providing a steady cash flow to cover expenses and generate income. This dual approach can help investors build wealth while maintaining liquidity.

The most compelling stories in property investment are when they are about actual results achieved. The case study below discusses their new investment property asset, which was handed over on Thursday, 14th Dec 2023.

The results achieved, a staggering 369% return on investment (on handover), robust 30% capital growth (yielding approximately $200,000+ in equity), and an annual rental income of $35,000, constituting a 5.4% gross rental yield. These are not just numbers; they represent the actual outcome of a well-executed property investment strategy, with an impressive average of 12% capital growth per annum.

Navigating the Property Investment Journey with a Professional Advisor

This success story began in July 2021, with a client trusting the expertise of ASPIRE’s seasoned Accredited QPIA Advisors. By adopting a conservative modelling approach and thoroughly understanding potential outcomes, the client embarked on a journey aligned with their financial goals and surpassed expectations.

The Strategic Selection of New Residential Property

A key element in this journey was investing in new residential property. Contrary to common hesitations about new properties, this decision was underpinned by extensive due diligence in financial numbers and location analysis. New properties often entail lower purchase costs, higher quality assets compliant with current standards, and a strong appeal in the market. This strategic choice ensured long-term returns that far exceeded initial projections.

Journey to Success: Detailed Breakdown of Investment Returns and Timeline

Let’s delve into the specifics of how this success was achieved:

• July 2021: The journey commenced with an initial investment of $32,888, encompassing a $10,000 land deposit and a $22,888 building deposit.
• February 2023: The land settlement occurred. Additional costs over the land purchase price included $5,250 for stamp duty and $2,000 for legal expenses & miscellaneous expenses.
• July 2021 – December 2023: An estimated $14,000 in holding interest was accrued over this period.
• Total Investment: The overall investment amounted to $54,138, leading to an estimated 369% ROI, thanks to a significant equity increase to $200,000.

In contrast, had a completed property been purchased for $652,000, the stamp duty alone would have been a whopping $22,399, surpassing this strategic investment’s combined holding and purchase expenses.

Recap of the Investment Journey: From Decision to Reward

The timeline of this journey is as follows:

• July 2021: The investment decision was made, with an initial rent forecast of $525 per week and a total purchase price of $585,644 ($195k for land and $391k for the build).
• December 2021: The initial builder went into administration, but the total deposit was successfully refunded by insurance by March 2022.
• March 2022: A new builder was contracted at $437,474.
• October 2022: Adjustments due to trade and supply increases elevated the cost to $487,961.
• November 2022: A switch to a new builder set a fixed price at $457,750 for a comparable build.
• February 2023: The land, initially purchased at $195,000, appreciated remarkably to approximately $310,000, marking a 158% increase.
• May – December 2023: The construction process smoothly transitioned through various stages, culminating in the final handover on the 14th of December 2023.
• 15th December 2023: The property was leased for $680 per week, significantly surpassing the initial rent projection ($525 PW). The current market value is estimated between $850,000 – $900,000, reflecting an astonishing 30.7%+ capital growth over the last 2 ½ years.
• 19th July 2024: Recent sales of similar properties are selling between 1million – 1.1 million, with the tenants first rent review due in December 2024.

This case exemplifies a remarkable surpassing of initial projections, which would have been an acceptable outcome. The 2021 Property Investment Analysis (PIA) had anticipated the property’s value to reach $850,000 by 2031. Astonishingly, this milestone was achieved in just 2 ½ years, eclipsing the assumed 4.0% per annum capital growth in forecasting, with an actual growth rate of 12.5% per annum.
