Unlike a home, buying the right investment property is a financial decision. So, it’s important to understand the goals and strategies behind a successful property investment.
What's rental yield?
If you pay a high price for a house in a popular suburb, you would hope that rental demand is high enough in the area to offset your higher costs of ownership. Yield is the return you receive on a property investment- most commonly in the form of rent.
Negative gearing and tax
Income earned from your investment property is either positively or negatively geared. If you’re a property investor or looking to become one, it’s important to understand what that is, the possible benefits, risks and tax considerations associated with it.
There are several things to consider when it comes to investing in property, so let’s look at what’s involved and how you can be sure this is the right option for you. Learn through our comprehensive investing in property guide.
