Would you invest or live in a property like this ? Do you think owning you home is a liability????

I like your videos. I own a few rental properties and recently refinanced one of them through the bank. It’s really great work.

[@louisreynhardt]

Thanks so much Chadley, glad to hear you refinanced successfully. It can be a really powerful strategy 👏

[@petrevandermerwe60]

Hey, Louis, thanks for the great video! Do you have a recommendation for whether one's first property should be your primary residence, or whether it can be buy-to-let?

[@louisreynhardt]

Great question, It all depends on your situation. My first property was a small complex that I lived in. But it made sense financially because I was paying the equivalent of rent. Most people buy a too expensive home when they live in it and end up ober extending themselves. Also make sure you buy ut in the right entity

[@petrevandermerwe60]

@@louisreynhardt I see. Should the monthly repayment be exactly equal to what you would pay in rent, or is it OK if it's slightly more expensive? I'm asking, because Cape Town buying prices are crazy high right now, and I want to live there.

[@louisreynhardt]

CT is obviously different. Its okay if its a bit higher but it should still be affordable for your budget. It akl depends on your financial situation 💪🏻

[@petrevandermerwe60]

@@louisreynhardt Sure thing! It should still be in budget. Yeah, Cape Town is a tough market right now. I haven't actually found a property there that beats the 1% rule. At the same time, I'm hesitant to buy property in a different part of South Africa.

[@mikegalela1815]

I'm 24 in jhb recently discovered & subscribed to your channel I've gathered around 350k but I have no employment history or registered business and I'm looking to buy property what's the best advice you can give I would really appreciate it.

[@louisreynhardt]

Thank you for your subscription and support. Congrats on saving a large lump sum. You have a few options. One would be to buy a small flat Cash for around 250k, use 50k for transfer and registration and use 50k for reserves. This can be risky if the property that you bought doesnt cashflow or put money in your pocket every month. The other option would be to get a 9 to 5 job and build up a good credit score for around 6 months, from there you can try to finance a property and use the banks money and use your 350k as a reserve using this option will help you grow your portfolio much quicker. The last option would be to partner with another investor . While you are thinking of buying property, remember to learn and read as much as possible, have a look at some of my other property videos to get as much insight as possible. Hope this helps 🙏🏻

Thanks this is valuable information!

[@ranacronecreations2542]

The rand also keeps devaluing so you need to calculate that loss as well

[@louisreynhardt]

Of course, you use inflation with internal rate of return calculations.💪🏻

[@Pamela_mb]

This was very insightful! I want to find out, if I want to acquire a property in an area that I don't live near to, how would I go about dealing with the tenant needing repairs other stuff that would require a "hands on" landlord. Is there property management or people who would deal this on my behalf?

[@louisreynhardt]

Hi Pamela, glad you liked the video. Great question, first of all its definitely possible. The quick answer would be to get a good team on your side, ie a good contractor, plumber, electrician, and offcourse a good letting agent. This is something you build up over the years. A good start would be to speak to well known investors to get recommendations. Once you know you can trust someone everything can basically be done over phone calls and whatsapp.

[@johnmajor9564]

What about maintenance? I calculate 2% of the property’s value as yearly maintenance. If I don’t use it I put it on my maintenance savings account.

[@louisreynhardt]

Thanks for sharing. That is great advice. I do not include repairs as a monthly cost, but before I buy a property, I save up 10% of the value of the property for emergencies such as repairs, rate increase, etc. Your way is also a great way to do it, as long as you budget for it.

what are your favorite books relevant to investing in real estate in south africa

[@louisreynhardt]

Hi Reeco, Theres not alot of books about Property in Sa. I would recommend all the books of Jason lee, also Laurens Boels book. Thats about it, theres a view books that touch on the subject but doesn't go into to much detail unfortunately. You can definitely read Robert Kiyosakis Rich dad poor dad books and Brandon Turners books 💪🏻

[@cedrickmartin7940]

Thanks for amazing content. What is the minimum RIO one should consider?

[@louisreynhardt]

Thanks man, Depends on what type of Property you are looking to invest in. Gross return for student accomodation should atleast be above 15% and for normal flats 12% With higher interest rates you can now get a 2 year fixed rate savings account with 10% return basically risk free so it should atleast be better than that 🚀💪🏻

Can you withdraw each month of your equity for exp.. You buy 1m rand house equity persent is 3.25% then you withdraw each month 1.5% of that equity and stil have 1% equity groewing each month

[@louisreynhardt]

Equity is not interest In short, you can withdraw equity every month, but it will eventually run out if you keep withdrawing. It's not like interest from a savings account

[@CODE8_GAMING]

@@louisreynhardt so your investment property equity wont become more each year agv inflasion

[@louisreynhardt]

No, it won't. Only if you pay off more on the bond or the value of the property increases.

[@CODE8_GAMING]

@@louisreynhardt but how do you make money or make a good living from an investment property then how do you make money off the property each month that would benefit you. And if you can make a exp for what you couldt get each month when investing in a property

@@louisreynhardt and one more question were do you go to withdraw that equity in the property each month

[@bandzilentshalintshali235]

A 78 000 equity position in this deal makes the Loan to value sit at 75% right?

[@louisreynhardt]

Hi there, The LTV is determined by the actual loan/finance taken out. Meaning that if you buy a property for R500k with a R78k euquity position and finance it for R500k the LTV is 100%. You will still finance the equity portion to get access to it later on. The LTV is determined by the offer price. If you put down a 25% deposit then the LTV is 75%
