    I don't know how to calculate yield. Is it rent vs purchase price? Or rent vs current loan? Or rent vs current value? I don't mind disclosing the yield if you can help me calculate it :)

    The loan is P&I and my plan is to hold for 10+ years while the loan gets reduced. After that, reasess and either demo and build 2 or retain and build behind. I will be guided by the numbers but I can't see how demo would be more profitable.

    The process is: survey strata, engage a builder, buikding license, build. If there is common property then a DA will also be required

    Ok thanks, yield is just rent x 52 ➗ by purchase price x 100

    That would be gross yield that doesn't factor in any holding costs (maintenance/rates/PM fees etc)

    Also aren't you dividing by its current market value not its purchase price? (Of course if you are looking to buy or have just bought then use purchase price but I wouldnt do this for something you bought >1yr ago)

    Well yeah it’s a gross figure just commonly used to get an idea of rental return. Of course there are other costs.
    You could use value rather than purchase price but that would give you a pretty useless figure imo as you are not paying off current value but purchase price.

    Perth or Brisbane -
    Perth has been crashing for years so imo there is better value to be had there.

    ohh ok. I thought you were refering to the 'greedy" part.

    Well one in each place could be fine ..just comes back to goals/strategies .

    Maybe if I get one in per first and leverage it post subdivision I could do that... Need my 20% deposit here if I was to do that as the rents in Perth are so low.

    Good suburb for PPOR is not necessarily a good suburb for IP.
