    Whats the minimum you have inceased rent by?

    I think a 10% increase is reasonable. You need to be getting at least a 8% return on your investment. I've always hiked my rents as much as possible and still had good tenants. Get no thanks for leaving it low in my opinion.

    Hi I fixed for 5 years at 8% last year. Can't get out as you say without paying a huge break fee, but at the time I needed to know what my payments were on the IP as the amount of debt could have sent me to the wall. rates did go to over 10% for commercial loans and haven't dropped much yet...

    Rent will not go up forever

    I've been averaging 15% rent increase on my rentals in last 6 months. Still not a lot on the market when I check on realestate.com.au either so I can't see them dropping down anytime soon. This of course depends on the area and the investment condition!

    Hi Yes good point. The 2 PM's that I use both seem to need a bit of encouragement. I think they just want the easy way out and not have to work hard for their commission! I always do the research and tell them what minimum I want. Don

    IP is killing me

    If you are so worried about the $400 that it is costing you go get an equity loan and use that to pay the shortfall in interest on the property. If you have owned it already for 7 years then you will have heaps of equity. The interest on the equity loan is also tax deductible. Regards Don

    Commercial Property Mangment - Perth

    Amazing figures from BHP, that tower would be several years off completion though I imagine? All the construction I see in CBD seems to be apartments but very little commercial going in? I'm guessing the returns at the moment are better for residential in CBD than commercial. Leave a lot of...

    Commercial Property Mangment - Perth

    Hi Grossreal Rate was $4.5k psqm, rents seem to be $350, maybe 400 psqm for this type of building. Though based on what Ausprop just said I'd be extremely happy if they went to $500psqm!!! Not sure what the plate size is but I would think about 600sqm for that floor. For new developments...
