Hi All,
I decided to try myself in real estate investing and after loads of reading and research bought a property that I thought was doing well. Now, 1,5 years later my review of the property left me at crossroads. I would like to know what would you do with it if you were me.
Here is high level figures, let me know if you need more information.
Purchased: 305K (3 bedroom old house on 600 sq.m leveled block)
Location: Point Clair NSW ? the major road
Rented out: 370 p/w
Costs: loan + rates & management fees, water & other expenses = $21,052
Income from property: $16,797
Losses: $4,256 or $355 per month
That gives me: 5,5% rental yield
Current property assessment from managing agent 340-360K
Would you sell it or keep it?
More details:
- Property is P&I, so there is potential to reduce expenses by going principal only
- Managing agent takes 10% to rent out property
- $10 of each weekly rental payment goes toward managing loan and trees
