I think I'm buying too many -ve geared properties.

Sash:

I took the path of optimising both CG and cash flow. I typically look for a minimum of 6-7% returns with a average capital growth of 7-10% CG.

Another, similar here too.

CG(7-10) + cash flow(8+)=content investors, works for us.

develop

We're in a similar position. Bought previously for location and style alone. Latest one has been with development potential... and we will develop it in order to get the cash flow up. You could do the same when you next have some spare capacity.

3.5-3.8%.....

I think you owe me a new keyboard. I was drinking a coffee, and when read this I spat all over my computer. At these yeilds i would NOT be purchasing.

As sash has said 7%+ yield is the key, with CG potential.

You need cashflow from the properties to keep moving forward. however depends what your end goal is. I would want to see more then this myself.

too right Nathan - tho I am guilty of some 3.6% yield stuff myself. having said that the cap value on those has dropped to make the yield more like 4.6% - a lesson there I think. the next move I reckon is a tandem increase in rent and cap value.
