9. Poll: How many
properties do you own?

10. Where do I start?
• You want to invest in real estate
• Too much information or conflicting
information available
• “Hotspots” – if it’s on the news it may
already be too late
• This can be where REI can help you
• Utilise free resources like these
webinars or our blogs and find a
strategy to focus on!

11. Key Characteristics of Successful Property
Investors
• Treat property investment as a business
• Have a plan
• Create a team of experts that you can trust
• Research, research, research!
• Maximise Depreciation benefits
• Have patience – property is a long term game
• Target market – try to appeal to the largest audience
• Location is key
• Regularly review your portfolio
• Set SMART short & long term goals

12. Setting achievable property investment
goals
• What is your actual goal?
• Hint: If you are watching, it should
involve buying a property!
• How do you plan to achieve this goal?
• Is it reasonable to expect you can
complete that goal?
• Do you have the time?
• Do you have the know how?

13. Setting goals, some helpful tips
• Start at the end!
• Identify where you are now
• What are the steps you need to take to
get to your goal
• Your goal should be comprised of
several smaller goals
• What do you need to complete those
smaller goals, write out those details
• Start!
• The number one reason most people
fail is they don’t do that last step!

14. Choosing a strategy
• If you don’t have a plan then you are
planning to fail!
• This will start to define where you
look to acquire property
• Which strategy would suit you?
• What experience do you have?
• Where do you want to be in 10
years?

15. Some examples
• If your goal is to create passive
income then positive income
properties may be a great way to
start
• If you have great serviceability but
poor equity, perhaps a strategy that
involved building cash equity like
renovations or subdivisions would
be more suitable
• It all depends on what you are trying
to achieve, start at your goal and
work backwards

16. Strategy – Renovations
Pros
• With the right changes, can
create significant equity uplift
over a short period of time
• Increase rental income after
renovation
• Renovate an existing property
– smaller investment required
than buying a new property
Cons
• Can be costly – unforeseen
issues can arise
• For DIY investors with no
experience, costs can blow
out
• Time consuming
• If renovation takes longer than
expected, holding costs &
missed rent will have a
negative impact on return
• No guarantee on return –
equity uplift or rental

17. Strategy – Subdivisions
Pros
• Can create substantial
equity or cash over a
short period of time
• Take advantage of under
utilised land
• Sell one block & keep the
other - loan could be fully
or nearly paid off
Cons
• Can be costly
• Council regulations &
restrictions
• No guarantee on return
• Time consuming
• Reduced space – may
not be as appealing to
buyers

18. Strategy - Risk Assessment

19. Forecasting capital growth
peak
trough

20. Importance of having the right finance
structure
What do you need to determine to
ensure your finance is structured
right:

• Assess the property being
acquired
• Need to consider your future
objectives and goals

21. Importance of having the right finance
structure
• Is a bank relationship important?

available the right strategy?
