3 Letter from Jason Paetow Dear Reader, I m really excited to provide you with this free resource on property investment. I believe that investing in property is a wealth strategy open to everybody; in fact our motto here at AllianceCorp is helping every day Australians create wealth through property investment. I know that the benefits of greater wealth are immense and life changing, not huge mountain of money, just enough to create options and choices. Enough money to help us to realise our dreams sooner. I know first-hand the payoff that property investment can have: At the age of 21, I was busy making plans to travel around Europe after working hard and saving. When my father heard about this, he offered me a deal I couldn t refuse: He would match my savings dollar-fordollar if I agreed to forego my travels and instead use my money as a deposit for a piece of property. After some deliberation, and weighing up the pros and cons I chose to take his offer up, and I am proud to say that it really paid off, and I ve never looked back. My first piece of property was a rundown three-bedroom house in East Bentleigh, which cost $200,000. I decided to renovate my first property in order to add value to it, and a couple of years down the line I had it re-valued by a real estate agent. It was worth $350,000 after a small renovation investment of $40,000. In only a couple of years I had made a $110,000 profit, just like that! This is when I realised why my father had wanted me to get into the property market there was money to be made, it wasn t all that complicated and it was a wise way to invest my hard-earned dollars. At AllianceCorp we offer a range of education and services that are free for you to try with absolutely no risk or obligation. You can: Are You Sitting On A Goldmine?

7 What Are Your Goals? Property investment yields greater wealth. Greater wealth means more choices. Investing in property is an effective way to build your wealth and to enjoy a better quality of life. It s pretty simple, really. Some common goals for investment that I ve heard people say over the years include: Provide for retirement Financial independence Passive income Give the kids greater options for study Travel more in retirement Have more options for investment Pay down the mortgage Diversify investments It doesn t have to be some lofty goal either you might just really want a brand new car, and that s fine too! No matter what your goals are financially, we can help. Our strategies are simple, effective and tried and tested. We have been doing this for a long time, and we know what works. But Don t I Need A Huge Deposit? Well, yes and no. If you re getting into property investment for the first time and looking to buy your very first property then yes, you will need to save a deposit and approach a bank for a loan. To get to this stage you need to be prepared to save aggressively! That might mean reducing your credit card limits or delaying a move to part time or contract work. If you own your own business you might need to pay yourself a salary to make yourself an attractive prospect for banks. If you re still looking for your first investment property then you probably need to read our ebook Seven Reasons Why Property Investment Can t Be Ignored before you read this one.if you re ready to start investing - great! Read on! Will I Need To Sacrifice My Lifestyle? Saving up a huge deposit and then putting it to towards a house is fine for your first property. But what about when you want to buy more houses and create and investment portfolio? What then? Do you need to save as hard, and sacrifice as much every time you want to buy another invetsment property? Surely there must be a better way. You know of course, that I m going to tell you that there is... You might ve already heard of this strategy, but Are You Sitting On A Goldmine? Success Through Property Investment / 7

8 the reality is that you can start with as little as 5% of the property purchase price, plus funds to cover your lawyer and stamp duty. How? Equity. Plus, by accessing your equity (and by using a couple of the strategies I m going to cover in this ebook) you can comfortably maintain your lifestyle quite nicely, thanks very much! Does it sound too good be to true? It s not, and there s no tricks either. Just plain and simple management of tax, equity, credit, and all by using as little of your own money as possible. So... If you own your own home and have paid off some (or all) of the mortgage, you are essentially sitting on a gold mine. Accessing the equity in your home is the easiest way to buy investment properties, and you may already have a property that will allow you to use this technique. Releasing equity from your home in a structured way allows you to keep your savings in the bank. For investors, the usual situation is that most want to combine the benefits of not using their own savings with tax minimisation advantages when buying an investment property. not necessarily as cut and dry simple as you will see as we go on, and I don t want you to think that any type of property investment has Get Rich Quick options. That s not what we re about, so although I m saying that this strategy is great - please remember that it takes a lot of knowledge, research and making the right decision to be successful. That s why we provide a full range of coaching and services for you in the life of your relationship with us. You have at your disposal a range of property coaches, advisors, renovations experts and professional services, and all within a fully refundable and obligation free situation. You have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain by giving us a try, and after reading about the strategies I ve outlined in this ebook you ll no doubt have some questions The logical next step to reading this ebook would be to attend one of my workshops or to watch my DVD, but for now let s move on now to showing you HOW you can access the equity in your home. The strategy for releasing equity in your home is Are You Sitting On A Goldmine? Success Through Property Investment / 8

9 Accessing Your Goldmine You might have heard people talking about equity but have no idea what it is or can mean for you with property investment. It s hard not to be amazed when you hear about friends or colleagues buying investment properties, especially when they re on similar salaries and lead similar lifestyles. There s no huge secret though, as what many people have done is used the equity that they ve built up in their homes to give them a kick start. Equity is what makes up the difference between the market value of your home and the balance of your mortgage. If you ve had your home for a few years and paid off some of the mortgage, that - combined with a rise in value of your house - could mean that you ve built up some reasonable equity. How equity can help Let s say you want an investment property that s valued at $400,000. You can add additional purchase costs to this stuff like legal fees, stamp duty and insurance and you ll end up with a cost of $420,000. Let s also assume that you meet the loan approval requirements and that a lender will fund 90% of your property s market value. You ll have to pay lenders mortgage insurance (LMI) to cover the risk, but the bank will lend you about $378,000 which means you just need to come up with an additional $42,000 for the deposit and the other up front expenses. This is where your equity comes in. Your home might be valued at $500,000 and the balance of your mortgage is $300,000. The $200,000 difference is your equity. As investors, you can access up to 80% of your home equity without taking out LMI, and in this example it equals $160,000. So basically instead of having to save and scrimp to come up with a cash deposit for the money you need, you can simply draw down on the equity in your home. There are two different strategies you can use to access your equity 1. Access the equity using your home. You use the equity in your home to secure a new property using your home and the new property. You put no money down and the lender combines your home and investment together, Are You Sitting On A Goldmine? Success Through Property Investment / 9

10 and gives you a new loan that combines the purchase price and your costs. In this strategy your home will be directly linked to your new investment property, and your lender also will take the title over on your home to secure the new loan as well as the title over the new property. 2. Separate loans. This strategy allows you to access only as much equity as you need to pay the deposit and the costs of the new property as a top up loan or line of credit. You can even use a separate lender to take another loan to get the remaining funds to complete your purchase. Once again you don t need to pay forward any money, but the titles of your properties are separated and you have greater flexibility. Another advantage to this method is that you might have enough equity and serviceability to complete another purchase sooner! If you have the funds to buy one property then why shouldn t you? We call this the Dual Purchase Strategy and it s helped many of our clients to become very successful investors by not compromising on their Opportunity Cost. Don t know what I m talking about? Then you had better read our ebook about this exciting topic. There are positives and negatives with each of these methods. If you use the equity in your home you might find that over time lenders will start dictating conditions that you might not be comfortable with. They might only lend you money based on your new investment loan. Many people who want to invest will use mortgage insurance so that they can buy more properties, but one of the benefits of using your own home as security is that you don t have to get LMI, as the lender is tying up all available equity in your property - rather than just the amount required. Really, you want to be able to combine the benefits of using none of your own savings and maximising your tax advantages when buying investment properties. Releasing equity in your home is a way to do this. Further to this, you need to have an exit strategy in place and to have information on hand about how to navigate tax and charges, and know strategies to minimise your financial commitment and impact to your lifestyle. The best strategy for minimising risk and reducing the impact on your lifestyle is what we share with every single once of our clients: it s called the Master Facility and it s the key to your success in property investment. Are You Sitting On A Goldmine? Success Through Property Investment / 10

11 Invest With No Impact To Your Lifestyle: The Master Facility The Master Facility is essentially a big buffer consisting of the money in your home as equity. When you purchase an investment property you don t use all of the money available to you, and so you keep it as a backup for paying down funds. You know that even if you weren t able to work for a period of months that the Master Facility would be there as backup. Sound complicated? It s not - we ve put everything into easy to read tables for you to take a look at. Plus, if you re still confused after reading this ebook you can come to a workshop or in to the office for a chat about how we can help you. Study the tables below to see the benefits of the Master Facility. These include: Not having to link your property investment loans to your home loan Holding costs or out of pocket costs can be funded by the Master Facility so your lifestyle is not affected Funds will be available for value adding projects such as renovations Are You Sitting On A Goldmine? Success Through Property Investment / 11

12 You can see how by drawing down on your equity for a purchase and using the remaining money as a buffer you can purchase property without any major impact to your lifestyle. Take a look at the next page to see how to apply this strategy to a multi-purchase situation. You can repeat the Master Facility strategy for multiple properties - so long as you ensure you have access to enough funds you ll be able to keep investing! Think about the impact that having a buffer would have on your ability to purchase properties. It really is life changing stuff. Are You Sitting On A Goldmine?

14 Adding Value By Renovating Ok, so we just discussed how using our Master Facility strategy can protect your lifestyle from the associated costs with property investment and we ve looked at some of the strategies that you might have encountered in your journey as a property investor. But now let s take a look at how you can raise the maximum equity possible in every house you buy so that you re in the best possible position to continue investing. The key is to create perceived and actual value higher than the actual cost of the renovation. There are low-cost renovations such as a general clean up and replacing a few broken items and then there are high-end renovations that involve council approval and major structural change. The best way to execute this is to buy a property that can be renovated to add more value than the cost of the renovation, with the aim of generating a higher rent and tapping into the new equity you created to fund your next property. AllianceCorp have a full in-house renovations department and can work with you to quote, plan and execute your value-add renovation in a timely and professional manner. love with the property. There is plenty of number crunching and milestone planning that needs to be done for even the smallest renovation job and it s wise to not let your heart rule your head. This is business! Managing a quick renovation can be a bit of a headache and many people opt to outsource a renovation to a project manager. AllianceCorp have a full renovations team in house who have years of hands-on experience in planning, managing and executing renovations. The best time to do a value-add renovation is when you re looking to add more equity to your home or possibly if you want to increase your rental yield. The sheer size of the work needed to be undertaken for a renovation can be overwhelming which is why we can offer to take care of it for you. After all, why would you put yourself through the stress of dealing with builders, planners and all of the relevant people involved in a renovation when it s really just an investment that you want to return as much as possible for you? As an investor you need to remember what s really important - and it s usually your time. There is some preparation required for the renovation: you do not get to the point of signing a contract for a property that you are preparing to renovate without already knowing the following: What needs to be done? How long it will take? How much it will cost? How much of a buffer you will need for the unexpected?

Are You Sitting On A Goldmine? Success Through Property Investment / 18

19 Think Like An Investor There s one more piece in the property investing puzzle that we haven t touched on yet: You. I ask you this: Why is it that many Australians do not make it as investors? And they don t, believe me - many people buy one or two houses and get stuck - bogged down with a mortgage and too afraid to continue on because they re afraid of debt. The World Bank once considered Australia to be the wealthiest nation on the planet. Unfortunately, now the standard of living for many Australians is dropping rapidly, despite our politicians trying to convince us otherwise. With all the wealth that still exists, why is it that so few Australians get to share in it? What is going on that limits us to sharing in only a fraction of this country s wealth, and what can we do about it? A lack of knowledge, strategy and guidance is usually the problem. You have access to a strong support network, and people who have been there before to advise you so why should you go it alone?
