I have been doing some modeling on my portfolio...and funnily enough with all this doom and gloom around the Euro zone and a slowing China and its impact on Australia...I see a silver lining.
Now this is probably only going to assist you if you are more of a CF+ positive investor with a LVR less than say 50-60%.
Many investors are worried about what will happen to them if they lose their jobs. If you are one of the above...sit back and enjoy GFC Mark 2 (assuming if arrives of course).
Why?...well I did some modeling with the following current assumptions:
1. Property portfolio value $5m
2. Debt of $2m with interest rate of 6.75% - I/O costs per annum is $135k
3. Over rent - 5% of value of portfolio - $250k
3. Other costs (stata, rate, insurance, management fees) assuming 15 properties at $333.33 each with a 5k allowance = $75k
Based on the above you would have a positive CF+ to the tune of $40k...not bad but not enough for a decent livestyle.
Now lets say GFC#2 hits hard and bank margins drop to 150 points from the traditional 225 point ( see this article http://www.news.com.au/money/bankin...and-shareholders/story-e6frfmcr-1226205587703 ).
Lets also assume that rates drops rate from 4.5% to say 2.5% (now things will need to be really bad..i.e. our unemployment needs to be over 8%). The we will end up with 4% IR.
Based on this the servicing of a $2m debt drops to 80k per annum instead of 135k....this will put 55k in your pocket. Add the 40k you are already CF+ and you have 95k.
Now assume depreciations allowances are conservatively 3k per property...you will pay tax on 45k......that is about 7k in tax.
So you get to keep about 88k...surely most people can live on 88k per annum?
Noice isn't it???.....bring on GFC Mark II
