Quality Investment Homes

The quality investment homes and the building activity at North Harbour Estate impressed a radio interview listener on a recent visit to Brisbane and the Estate. They now appreciate what I say about demand exceeding supply.

They ask what is the best deal at North Harbour and when the build could start.

I have a fabulous 4-bed executive home for under $500,000 and we could start building in October this year.

We have to wait until October because demand so exceeds supply that road works etc. are not yet completed. It will also not be out of the titles office until late September this year.

Some think that it is unbelievable that we can offer quality investment homes in Brisbane for under $500,000. This is what we call turnkey – there is nothing extra to spend. Just turn the key and start living. Below are the details of inclusions.

Key features:

The cost to buy this quality investment home

Let’s take someone in the $80-180k tax bracket using 10% deposit. The full purchase price is $495,650. They would need a 10% deposit but allow $67,000 for lenders mortgage insurance, stamp duty and Legal’s etc. and a further $6,500 for interest whilst it is being built.

If we allow for 4.95% interest, on a Principal and Interest Loan and a rent of $460 per week, the tax refund would be $143 per week and the investor contributes only $120 per week.

For those in the $180k plus tax bracket

Rent $460 per week, tax refund $180 per week and the investor only $83 per week.

For those borrowing 100% plus Stamp Duty, Legal’s etc.

In these figures, I have used a variable interest rate of 4.95% and that rate constantly changes. The best rate I have at the moment is 3.88% Principal and Interest locked for 2 years.

The client in $180k plus tax bracket borrowing 100% Principle and Interest was contributing $136 per week at 4.95% interest. At 3.88% interest, they would only contribute $119 per week.

To summarise, this client buys a half a million-dollar quality investment home, only outlays are an initial $5,000 and then only contributes $119 per week to pay off the loan, rates insurance etc.

Why buy the land separately?

A separate land and build contract saves about $10,000 in Stamp Duty.
