WHY THIS MATTERS

The Difference Between a Good Investment and a Bad One Is the Numbers

A property listed at $580,000 might cost you $180 a week out of pocket. Or $320. You won't know until you add up the mortgage, insurance, rates, maintenance, management fees and vacancy allowance.

And a property that looks expensive on paper might cost less than you think once you factor in rental income, depreciation and tax offsets. Use the calculator below to model the real numbers, then request a full analysis from the FAA team.
