A Guide to Residential Property Investment
Investing in residential property involves more than buying a home and collecting rent. Rental income, ongoing costs, borrowing, property management and changes in the market can all affect the performance of an investment property.
The Ray White Taylor Rentals Investment Guide brings together useful information for landlords and property investors looking to better understand the financial and practical side of owning rental property.
What Does the Guide Cover?
The guide looks at some of the main factors that can affect a residential property investment, including:
- Costs associated with owning and running a rental property
- Expenses that may be claimable
- Interest and borrowing costs
- Healthy Homes compliance costs
- Long-term rental properties compared with short-term accommodation
- Different property ownership structures
- The role of leverage in property investment
- Capital growth and factors that can influence investment returns
- Property management fees and services
- Other financial matters investors should discuss with their professional advisers
Understanding the costs connected with a rental property is an important part of assessing its financial performance. Professional advice from an accountant, mortgage adviser or other qualified adviser may also be appropriate for matters specific to your circumstances.
Managing the Property Matters Too
The financial side of an investment is only part of the picture. Good property management can help keep the tenancy running smoothly, maintain the property and deal with day-to-day rental matters.
Having an experienced property manager handle the tenancy can also give landlords more time to focus on their wider property investment plans.
