Hi All- first poster here.
Wondering what peoples thoughts are here- is this the right thinking or is the risk too great?
My wife and I have a property portfolio of 11 properties- we are in our early/ mid 30s. We like to have a cash flow positive portfolio and use cheaper Northland properties with the rents more than covering the mortgages to cover themselves and also contribute to the shortfall in rent from some more "growth" type properties. Is this a sound strategy?
Some of the "cash flow" properties we have purchased so far:
1) Purchase price 108K, rents for $220pw
2) Purchase Price 100K, rents for $260pw
3) Purchase price 107.5K, rents for $250pw
4) Purchase price 110K, rents for $250pw
5) Purchase price 97.5K, rents for $240pw
6) Purchase Price 95K, rents for $230pw
We are not based in Northland so the houses are property managed and we have had no great issues with vacancies having owned most for 2-3 years. These properties are not going to make us rich by themselves but they do serve a function. 2016 QVs on these properties did show a 133K increase (across all 6) on what we paid for these which is nice also.
Any feedback appreciated.
Cheers.
