Both can make you money just differently.

Capital growth gives you a big payout (minus capital gains tax) if the property shoots up in value.

Whereas high rental yield will pay off the mortgage repayment allowing you to borrow against it for another property etc. if the rentals are paying themselves off, eventually you'll have a steady stream of rental income trickling through as profit.

Yeah the second one sounds more like what I want... Can't see the value of the properties going up that dramatically any time soon.

What's the go with the 5 year stuff, buying a house withn 5 years old etc, for claiming depreciation or whatever...if you buy a 4 year old house, does that mean you only get a year of whatever that claim is...

Or you buy an old property, Reno it with your tradie contacts & either flip it or rent. If you flip it you will have to pay 40% tax on the profit else just rent it for a larger sum which puts it close to the mortgage repayment.

No idea in that space. Only have experience with old properties.

Anyone can buy a newish house and rent it. Put in the extra effort and buy a project to reno & get more rent for your buck.

cbf with renos at the moment... looking to buy something ready to rent... or consider building if that worked out more profitable somehow...

Buying off the plan can work out better however you'll have to wait until it's built. Buying a house and renting to a family could give a better rent:mortgage ratio than an inner-city apartment to a single person.

Speaking of houses, got any tips for good areas to buy an investment property Alex? Jess suggested Altona Meadows, anywhere else? Tarneit any good?

Yeh depends what your after - I wouldn't go altona meadows myself i think seabrook has potential can get a good size block with a house on it for under $400k surrounded by suburbs that similar blocks cost $300k+ alone

With so many people trying/doing exactly the same thing (buy, rent out, negative gear, buy again) where will the market go? The rental market is flooded with houses at the moment, a lot of them overpriced because people need the money to pay off the mortgage.

If rent is so much cheaper in the CBD than the burbs, i think rental prices are going to spread from the cbd outwards and shrink purely because there are so many investment properties & town houses popping up. Especially when a lot of older folks are trying desperately to make up for their lack of super. That plus foreign money snapping up properties... Somethings gotta give in the next few years.

I reckon every 3rd-4th house i inspected last month had a for lease sign before even the For Sale sign had been taken down. It doesnt look good because you know the owners havent done much/anything to the house and are possibly going to be tighter than a ducks butt when it comes to costs.

lol @ the block first world problems ... My owners would be doing back flips to get 10k, 40k over reserve! Shit even to get reserve!

101%

mopst of my properties that go to auction do not hit reserve.

Altona North, right on the border of Williamstowm/Newport has a few bargains left over your side if you want to play the capital gains game...

rent it for a larger sum which puts it close to the mortgage repayment.

This is hard to achieve without extensive work done by yourself (then you have to value your own time)... Even interest only

Hi jezza

How's the band going

Thought the same.... lol'd

Strongly advise not to buy off the plan apartments / land etc

This.

Have you tried to drive in and out of Seabrook? It takes me almost half an hour to drive from Altona Meadows to Seabrook Blvd after work and it's like 5km...

tried newish burger joint in Huntingdale: Burgled.

burgers are under $15 and were pretty tasty.

Had a japanese-style? fried chicken burger with asian slaw and wasabi aioli. $11. quality sweet roll. do recommend.

next SAU monthly meet. they open late and huntingdale is dead after hours. plenty of parking.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
