How do you get that dream beachside property????

and if not - bugger it, I'll live in it and watch the weather over the sea and take the dog for a walk on the beach.

Having just strolled down this morning to the beach with the kids and the dog while the wife went to preggie yoga class, I can certainly vouch for the fact that such a lifestyle is indeed quite enjoyable... :)
 
I know. :)

But, what's the point of $1M in gross income if its servicing $1M in interest charges on debt...

That won't buy you many shiny new beach houses! :p

Cheers,
Michael
Let's reverse engineer it:

$1m gross rental income could be 50 properties renting for $400pw

A property that rents for $400 pw might be woth $500k

That's a $25m property portfolio

$1m in interst at 6% is about $17m

Asset = $25m
Debt = $17m

Equity = $8m

That will buy a couple of shiny new beachhouses in Cottesloe, Whale Beach, Brighton, or the Gold Coast.
 
Some beachside properties are going to get much cheaper in the future. I just sold mine not far from here, not comfortable having such a large asset at the mercy of nature.
