Investment Guide
Owning a rental property can be a rewarding investment, but there are plenty of costs and decisions to consider along the way. Rental income is only one part of the picture. Expenses, property management, lending, tax considerations and the way your property is used can all affect your overall return.
At Ray White New Plymouth, we’ve put together an Investment Guide to help landlords and property investors get a clearer picture of the financial considerations that come with owning an investment property.
The guide brings together information on topics such as rental property expenses, property management fees, Healthy Homes costs, interest deductibility, long-term rentals and Airbnb, ownership structures, home office expenses, mixed-use properties and the bright-line property rule.
A Useful Resource for Property Investors
The guide is worth a look if you’re considering buying an investment property, already own a rental, or want to review the costs associated with your current portfolio.
It also points out areas where getting advice from the right professional can be helpful. Tax, lending and ownership decisions can vary from one investor to another, so your accountant, financial adviser or mortgage professional can provide advice based on your circumstances.
What You’ll Find Inside
The Investment Guide covers a range of topics, including:
- Common expenses associated with owning a rental property
