Hello,
Just went to an Investment Seminar Monday night & then did a one-on-one interview with the presenter's assistant today. They recommend only building an IP on land (ie: House & Land package) as in the "Land Appreciates, Buildings Depreciate" mantra; therefore to also take advantage of the high depreciation benefits for those on a large income, etc.
I've bought 2 IPs this year - 2x 20-year-old units with depreciation schedules to boot.
What are other investors opinions on what they buy? Assuming the rental return was 5% gross per year, do you care how old the IP is? Or are you in the frame of mind as: Good return, high capital growth location, get some depreciations benefits/write-offs with a 10+ year-old IP, etc??
