One rung at a time

property ladder

Now that you’re on the property ladder, we’ve got some tips on how to keep climbing to the top.

Buying a new home is a huge step, and perhaps one of the biggest you’ll make. But for some of you, it won’t be the only property investment you make. We look at how you can buy a new home without selling your old one.

Can you afford to invest in property?

Property isn’t a cheap investment. If you’ve got a mortgage, your disposable income is reduced by monthly repayments. And of course, signing on the dotted line brings with it some hefty expenses: stamp duty, bank fees, insurance, and so on.

Generally speaking, if you have a mortgage, you’ve got less disposable income than someone who is renting. However, if you have steady rental income and some savings, you’re not in bad shape.

 Investment property pros and cons

Property investment is an attractive option for many. It is generally a long-term and less volatile option compared to other financial investments, such as shares, and with it comes a few benefits. These include the ability to offset a lot of your property expenses by way of tax deductions, and your investment property’s value will hopefully increase over the years.

Meanwhile, if you have a tenant, the rent they pay will go towards paying off the property – though be prepared to fork out the difference if the mortgage repayment is higher than the rental income, which means your investment is negatively geared.

Using equity

Home owners are likely to build up equity after a few years of ownership. If that’s the case, your increasing equity can be put towards an investment property. Even better, the equity you build up in an investment property can be used for a future property investment.

There are tax benefits to discuss with your accountant about this form of leverage.

The finances

Your financial adviser can give you guidance on your financial position. The risk with having multiple mortgages is keeping up with all of your payments.

Meanwhile, a mortgage broker can help you arrange your finances for maximum efficiency. When approaching a new investment, you might need to think about refinancing your existing mortgage, and finding the right deal/s for your new property investment portfolio.

Engaging a professional mortgage broker early in your property journey can help to set yourself up with the right loan structure/s to help you achieve your goals longer term.

STAYING ON TOP OF YOUR PAYMENTS - TIPS FROM THE PROS

We all have our own monthly obligations and expenses we must consider each month. Many of our expenses are mandatory while others are by choice. We need to pay our mortgage each month. The electricity bill. Mobile phone. Insurance. Car payment. These are just a few of the monthly bills we have to pay but when we add in additional discretionary spending, especially just after the holidays when we might have spent more than we had planned, making monthly payment on time can be a bit confusing even overbearing at times. At other times of the year, expenses are more easily handled and bills paid on time when discretionary spending is lower. Yet keeping track of all these bills and making sure there are no payments made after the due dates can be a challenge sometimes. Here are a few tips to keep you on track. Set Up Auto-Pay This is the most convenient way to make sure your payments are made on the due dates. Remember, even though credit reports only show late payments when they’re ...
