Scaling Up to a $2 million portfolio and beyond π
As your journey progresses, so does the potential of your property empire. With diligent planning and strategic investments, you can witness exponential growth in your portfolio.
Step 3: Two Becomes Four and So Onπ
Letβs say we did our homework well and it took two years for our first property to increase in value to such a point that we could leverage another property off the back of it, and one property became two. So then another two or so years later we can expect our two properties to continue to grow, and then two become four! Another cycle later four becomes eight, eight becomes sixteen and so on. This exponential growth is the key to building a $2 million portfolio rapidly. Remember, the hardest part is getting started, but with determination and smart choices, your success is inevitable.
I have been asked what I would do if I had to start over again from scratch. The answer is always this: I would get a job. I would rent the cheapest accommodation I could handle. I would drive the cheapest car I could. And then I would save every last cent until I could scrape into my first property. Then I would buy that property in the best boom location I could find, and let the property market do the rest. Because I know after that I will be fine.
Self-Managed Super Fund: Your ticket to property wealth! ππΌ
Did you know that you can harness the potential of your superannuation to invest in property? Yes, it’s true! Let’s explore how you can use your Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) to build wealth through real estate.
First things first, setting up an SMSF allows you to take control of your retirement savings and make decisions on how to invest them. This includes the option to purchase property within your fund. How amazing is that? While SMSFs have been around for a while, recent changes have made it more feasible to consider real estate investments within them. However, navigating this process requires expert guidance.
When establishing an SMSF, it’s crucial to seek assistance from professionals well-versed in SMSFs and property investment. Not all accountants or financial advisors are experts in this field, so choose wisely. One of the incredible advantages of SMSFs is their flexibility. With the ability to have up to six beneficiaries, couples can pool their resources and manage a joint fund, maximising their investment potential. However, there are some limitations to be aware of when purchasing property through an SMSF. For instance, there’s a requirement for a minimum 30 percent deposit and a maximum of 70 percent financing. Despite these restrictions, the benefits are substantial.
Let’s consider an example: You have $250,000 in various super funds and decide to establish an SMSF. After rolling over your existing funds, you have $250,000 to invest. You find a property valued at $500,000 and decide to purchase it using a $150,000 deposit (30%) and a $350,000 loan (70%).
If the property doubles in value over a decade, your SMSF’s net position could reach $650,000, significantly outperforming traditional investment avenues like shares.
