CPA Public Practice Conference in Lorne – How to Plan to build a Passive Income For Life with Property Investment

 

In Episode 34 of this podcast, Bryce and Ben answered one of our listener’s questions regarding the estimated growth and returns that we used in all our property plan production. To further assist with the explanation, we thought it would be best to share this presentation done by the both of them at the CPA Australia Public Practice 2014 Conference in Lorne.

010 | Tax Depreciation (Case Study)

Here are the Case Studies mentioned in Episode 010 | Tax Depreciation of The Property Couch:

Tax Depreciation Case Study 1:

A $600,000 – $700,000 period home with a rental income of $22,880 per annum

An investor owns a period home purchased for between $600,000 and $700,000 with a rental income of $440 per week.
Expenses for their property such as interest, rates and management fees totaled to $40,950. A depreciation schedule from specialist Quantity Surveyors BMT Tax Depreciation found the investor would be entitled to claim $9,880 in depreciation in the first financial year. By claiming depreciation deductions, BMT was able to help the investor to turn their negative cash flow into a more positive one, reducing the costs involved in holding the property by $3,655.
The following scenario shows the investors cash flow with and without the depreciation claim:

Tax depreciation case study 1 - The Property Couch
This investor used property depreciation to reduce the costs of holding their property. Without depreciation, they were paying out $219 per week. By taking advantage of tax legislation and making a depreciation claim, the weekly cost of holding the property is reduced to $149.

 

 

Tax Depreciation Case Study 2:

A $400,000 – $500,000 older villa with a rental income of $21,060 per annum

An investor owns an older villa purchased for between $400,000 and $500,000 with a rental income of $405 per week.
Expenses for their property such as interest, rates and management fees totalled to $29,610. A depreciation schedule from specialist Quantity Surveyors BMT Tax Depreciation found the investor would be entitled to claim $7,930 in depreciation in the first financial year. By claiming depreciation deductions, BMT was able to help the investor turn their negative cash flow into a more positive one, reducing the costs involved in holding the property by $2,935.
The following scenario shows the investors cash flow with and without the depreciation claim:

Tax depreciation case study 2 - The Property Couch

This investor used property depreciation to reduce the costs of holding their property. Without depreciation, they were paying out $104 per week. By taking advantage of tax legislation and making a depreciation claim, the weekly cost of holding the property is reduced to $47.

004 | Four Pillars of Mastery – Borrowing Power

This may be one of the most important factors when investing in property… 

Continuing with our “ABCD” Property Investment Formula which all property investors should master, we’re advancing to B for Borrowing Power!! 

Folks, now that you know how much surplus you have at the end of each month (thanks to the previous episode on Cash Flow Management), the next step is knowing YOUR borrowing power! 

Did you know that having higher borrowing power can greatly increase your accumulated wealth?  

But it’s not always as simple as going to your bank or mortgage broker to set up a loan…

 In fact, many unseen factors can create unwanted “glass ceilings”.  

We’ll cover how to recognise the signs of Borrowing Power and more importantly HOW to increase yours… 

PLUS, we’re unpacking INCOME: how does it affect your suburb’s desirability and value growth, and when did income and property value even become linked?! 

👉 Tune in for the gold!
