Equity Investment
Probably the most well-known property investment method, utilising the equity in your home is a fantastic way to break into the investment market. Generally, equity in an existing property is the only option if you’re looking at utilising this method, but sometimes a commercial business or large asset can be enough.
First, you’ll need to know how much equity you have in your current home. This can be done through a simple home valuation. These are done by a trained professional and will give you and the banks a very realistic idea of what your current property is worth.
At No1 Property Guide, we work with a number of property valuers across the country, giving us quick access to accurate, reliable valuations that banks trust. Contact our New Home Specialists to discuss finding out what equity you have in your home with a valuation today.
Calculating how much equity you have in your home once you’ve received your valuation is simple. It’s basically just the value of your property, minus the outstanding debt. So, if your property is worth $500,00, and you owe $200,00. Then you have $300,000 in equity.
However, most lenders will only allow you to access around 80% of that, so you’ll actually have closer to around $240,000.
From here, our New Home Specialists will work with you to find out what all your factual investment options are. We’ll go over everything from the type of property, to the location, and even the colour scheme, so you can get an investment property that has strong potential returns.
We also work with experienced realtors who can assist you in managing your property, ensuring you always have tenants.
When it comes to the question of how to buy investment property in Australia, using equity might be your best shot. Complete our pre-qualification form to discover your factual investment options or contact our Investment Specialists to discuss your investment options today.
SMSF Property Investment
Not as well-known as equity, SMSF investing has become one of the most popular options for property investment here at No1 Property Guide. By utilising the Super sitting in your fund, you might be able to purchase an investment property that will help build your wealth towards retirement.
Property investment through SMSF is a little different to equity investment. As there are a number of conditions you’ll need to meet to be eligible. Not just being able to repay the loan.
For starters, SMSF investing is directed towards retirement. You won’t be able to live in or collect profits from the property until you retire. However, you can utilise traditional investment methods (like equity) to build your SMSFs portfolio. So you can enter retirement with the funds to live the lifestyle you want.
The biggest benefit of SMSF investment is the fact you control your Super and can invest the way you want. Rather than depending on your retail Super Fund to try and make a profit for you.

Our team will be with you from the moment you fill out the pre-qualification form, right through to securing and building your investment property.

Rentvesting
The final investment option, that often flies under the radar, is Rentvesting. This is simply buying property to then rent out while you stay renting. This is a particularly good option if your borrowing capacity doesn’t allow you to buy where you’d prefer to live. But you don’t want to miss out on potential capital growth.
One thing you’ll need to consider with Rentvesting is whether you’ll be able to cover the mortgage repayments on top of paying your rent. Which can be an issue if you’re unable to find tenants for an extended period.
However, it’s a fantastic option for maintaining your current lifestyle without losing the opportunity to get onto the property market ASAP.
