Hi everyone,
Beginner here - with 0 IP's thus far . My question is around cash flow, as I know it is one of the most important things to consider when building an investment portfolio.
When growing one's portfolio, assuming most or some of your IP's are negatively geared to some extent, how do you maintain a strong cash flow?
Is it that successful investors always find some CF+ properties to add to their portfolio? Are these difficult to find, and predetermine that they are in fact CF+ before purchasing?
If I was to continue to purchase IP's with strong growth potential, but mostly negatively geared to some extent, does this mean that I just have to do it tough (more so than if I had no IP's) for some years while my equity grows?
In that case, I imagine each IP purchase would put additional pressure on my cash flow? Even with the tax breaks, I would still be paying out 60c to the dollar in debt, which is something that worries me. I would be very concerned about having less disposable income and the potential to default on loan repayments.
Would love to know seasoned investor's strategy for keeping a strong cash-flow while continuing to invest their equity.
Thanks in advance
Dave
