Poor quality tenants are rife. They pay for the first two months and then squat. You’ll have to get a court order to get them out. I’d be very wary of buying up flats in crime ridden areas.
@LaurensBoel20 күн бұрын
Absolutely, managing tenants can be tricky, but the drama is part of the charm. We've got a tight tenant screening process and effective eviction strategies, which we barely use BTW. Let's face it - every business is a game of high stakes poker, and every entrepreneur knows that risk is just the entry ticket to the wealth-building show. Me? I'd rather play the game and chase the big wins than sit on the sidelines of employment counting pennies till retirement. You gotta risk it for the biscuit, and let the crumbs fall where they may!

Hi there! Is there a business reason why you'd rent out a 3 bedroom unit without a stove? I feel that when a tenant brings their own stove solution (two-plate, etc), it becomes a fire hazard, plus potential damage to counter tops. I know nothing about owning property. Just from observation as a serial tenant (lol). Thanks in advance! x
@LaurensBoel25 күн бұрын
Hi Pamela, there is pros and cons to every decision. To provide a stove can help you attract a good quality tenant, but it can also be costly if a tenant breaks the stove early in their tenancy. We have opted to put stoves in, but have also agreed terms in the lease agreement that the tenant is liable to pay us back should they break the stove within a certain time period.

I appreciate your enthusiasm for improving your financial situation, especially at a young age. Starting in the property market is a smart move, and you're on the right track. Here are the key elements you'll need to get started: 1. Stable Income Stream: Having a consistent income source is crucial for managing expenses and securing loans if needed. 2. Good Credit Score: A good credit score is essential for obtaining financing from banks. It shows lenders that you're a reliable borrower. 3. Seed Capital: It's wise to have some initial capital to cover expenses like a deposit, legal fees, or repairs. Having at least R100,000 is a reasonable starting point. 4. Knowledge: Educate yourself about the property market, including areas like property valuation, market analysis, legal aspects, and property management. Knowledge is your most valuable asset in this field. Check out my content on Udemy: www.udemy.com/user/laurens-boel-2/

Welcome back to SA Laurens😊 .... That was a good deal at good price...My take is the maintenance and service rates could possibly be high and could be a reason for the reduced price or you were just lucky to get a seller who was fatigued from too many offers. Was it from Private auction or Sherrif auction ? ... Love the work done on the units👌🏽
@LaurensBoel26 күн бұрын
Thanks :) it's good to be home. A bit of both. It was a very fatigued and motivated seller and the building needed ALOT of TLC. At auction, you can sometimes get lucky, and this was an example of that. This was from a private auction. And thanks, I think the units look good too :)

I bought similar properties on a bigger erf in East London Rsa, The selling price was R700k, absolutely nothing wrong besides the land looking like an overgrown forest, and the whole building needed paint. This property was left to 3 nerds who knew nothing of what they had, but they had initially put it on the market with no luck, i was referred to this property by one of my clients and I just made an offer of R650 and that was that. Most of the properties i buy are intercepts and i make sure i always have cash to get the property before they have time be think about it.

If you like these kinds of properties you should look in the old south of Jo'burg. I'm a landlord and have five properties similar to this spread from Rosettenville to Forest Hill. There are literally hundreds of small flat blocks like this in the area, so new stock is constantly coming onto the market. In addition there are few property investors actively looking for new stock in the area at the moment, so prices haven't moved in five years or more. The returns are amazing if you can stand the risk.

I believe that hijacking occurs when the landlord doesn't look after the building and the tenants. Then opportunisitic criminals take advantage. But if you are a good landlord, you maintain the property well and ensure your tenants are happy, hijacking is a low risk. In 10 years of investing, I've never experienced any threat of hijacking or protection fees at any of my buildings.

There's deals like this and even better all over the show especially block of flats. You invested close to R1.6 million in cash to make R9K pm fully let. You still need to write off app 15% pm on losses (maintenance, empty units and headache payers/tenants) - In post covid you'll need to keep dropping your rent to be fully let or your empties will equate to at least 10% of the building or townhouse complex. Jobs are a problem at the moment thus owners will keep fighting for tenants - However life is about chance and risk and we need to take it whenever we can - Wishing you guys every success
@LaurensBoel23 күн бұрын
The cashflow is low because we refinanced the property and pulled out most of our capital. The R9k cashflow is post tax and a healthy 20% provision for bad debts and maintenance. Quality tenants are hard to come by, but providing quality finishings does help. I appreciate your well wishes, but we don't need luck. We have experience 👍
