How to turn your home into an investment property

Lodge Real Estate - City

Not everyone chooses to sell their current home when they decide to move on. Sometimes, it’s not even an option. If you’re looking to hang on to your personal home and turn it into a rental, there are a few things to consider first.

Not everyone chooses to sell their current home when they decide to move on. Sometimes, it’s not even an option. If you’re looking to hang on to your personal home and turn it into a rental, there are a few things to consider first.

1. Wear and tear
This is perhaps the biggest thing homeowners need to know. As a rental, your personal home will experience more wear and tear than it otherwise would if you lived in it. Your garden will probably not look as immaculate as it once did, and your walls and floors may acquire new scuff marks. So, if you can’t shake off your emotional attachment to the property, you may be better off selling it rather than renting it.

2. Location
The location of your home can have a major impact on its rentability and how easy it is to find quality tenants. If you’re close to local amenities like schools, Waikato University, Waikato Hospital or public transport routes, you have a better chance of keeping your property tenanted.

3. Maintenance
If your home is high maintenance - perhaps it has a pool, a large garden, or old appliances - know that you’ll need to keep it maintained to a reasonable condition to meet your obligations as a landlord/owner. This may involve extra ongoing costs, or costs to remedy the amount of maintenance required.

4. Family homes do best
In Hamilton, family-sized homes do particularly well on the rental market. Four-bedroom houses in Hamilton fetch, on average, between $450 and $520 per week. As for the strongest performing suburbs, Hamilton East/University, Te Kowhai/St Andrews/Queenwood, Dinsdale South/Frankton, Dinsdale North/Nawton and Flagstaff/Rototuna have recently experienced the strongest rental growth for family-sized properties with three to five (or more) bedrooms.

5. Landlord responsibilities
When you turn your personal home into a rental, you will take on the mantle of landlord, which comes with its own set of responsibilities. This includes finding and screening tenants, conducting or arranging inspections, repairs and maintenance. It’s a lot to manage—especially if you’re no longer living in the region. It’s why so many investors hire professional property managers to take care of the day-to-day running of their properties. Moreover, their fees are tax deductible.

Important note: If you’re leaving the country for more than 21 days, you’ll need to either appoint someone as your landlord in your stead or hire a property manager.

6. Tax implications
If you turn your home into a residential investment, be aware that you may not be able to make tax claims against it. It always pays to talk to a professional accountant to make sure you set up your home-turned-rental properly to avoid issues with tax, ownership and debt allocation.

Are you interested in having someone help you with your goals or your child’s?
I can help achieve this.

Planning encourages us to think about the future, what we want to do and how we will get there.

Description of a P.A.T.H

The process ideally involves two facilitators – one to graphically illustrate your thinking; the other to write down your thoughts.

You might choose a PATH for

employment
further education
other opportunities to grow and develop.

I can also create a PATH for your child. I work with children 10 years old and upwards.
If you would like to discuss this further or book a time for me to facilitate a PATH please contact me on 021711767

Hi All!!

I'm no prude when it comes to driving and/or riding so I was taken aback when I thought to myself that a posted speed limit was excessive.

Although I rarely travel this road there are a lot of people that this will have an impact on and so I thought I'd raise this potential concern to see if anyone else feels the same and if so then to possibly initiate a change.

The section of road that I believe has an excessive speed limit is Koromatua Rd between Tuhikaramea Rd and somewhere after Barrett Rd. It is posted as 80Km and has a high pedestrian concentration with little or no safety devices ie barriers between the road and footpath as well as a school that essentially opens out right onto the road.

Please share your thoughts if this is relevant to you or someone you know.

Cheers, Dave
