PROPERTY INVESTMENT CALCULATORS

Knowledge is power

Having your finances in order is essential to any successful investment. Use our calculators below to help plan your investment strategy and maximise your investment potential.

Loan Comparison Calculator

Want to compare which loan option could give you the most savings? Determining and comparing loan options with simple factors such as the amount of monthly payments on each loan give property investors an option to compare and determine which loan option is more feasible. Using Smart Property Investment's loan comparison calculator allows two different loans options to be directly compared by letting you adjust the different variables affecting the loan.

calculate

Stamp Duty Calculator

Doing your due diligence and planning, SmartProperty Investment's Stamp Duty Calculator allows you to work out the appropriate stamp duty tax so that you can include it in your future calculations and budgets. Each state has a different scale of charges and systems in place for calculating the stamp duty of each property purchase and the transfers of land titles of properties. Charges can vary depending on the purpose of the security purchased, whether it be for investment or for occupancy.

calculate

Borrowing Power Calculator

Smart Property Investment's borrowing power calculator uses a matrix that comprises of various details that includes salary, incomes, annual expenses, loan and credit card expenses, and other similar expenses to determine the maximum amount available lenders could give you for a loan on your future property purchase. It also breaks down your monthly repayment giving you a better idea of how this may affect your current day-to-day living expenses.

calculate

Principal and Interest Calculator

Smart Property Investment's principal and interest calculator is used to ascertain the length of time required to advancing the mortgage repayments before the completion of the mortgage, as well as allowing investors to know just how much of their principal and how much of their interest they are paying off each month. Investors who think about satisfying the mortgage sooner than what is stipulated in the mortgage agreement can approximate when and what period of time could one could satisfy their loans.

calculate

Split Loan Calculator

Those investors considering splitting their loan agreements to allocate a portion of the loan amount to attract both a fixed rate and a variable rate can make use of the Smart Property Investment's split loan calculator to determine and estimate the approximate amount of fixed and variable rate portions in your split loan. This would also be able to determine the amount of fixed monthly repayments one needs compared to variable monthly repayments, as well as the total interest payable.

calculate

Lump Sum Calculator

A lump sum is a single payment of money as opposed to a series of payments made over time. Smart Property Investment's lump sum repayment calculator determines exactly how much interest you could save over the years by adding a lump sum to your mortgage, the loan balance after five years, and the time and interest saved on your loan from adding this lump sum onto your loan. or pay a lump sum amount to the loan.

calculate

Extra Repayments Calculator

Use Smart Property Investment's extra repayment calculator as a guide to find out how quickly you can pay off a loan with additional payments. If you find yourself in a situation with more regular money at hand, then having extra repayments on your mortgage can help you significantly over the long-term having the option to either pay extra payments to the loan to accelerate the fulfilment of the loan agreement would benefit the investor's portfolio.

calculate

Capital Gains Tax Calculator 2018

Smart Property Investment's capital gains tax calculator allows for an estimated calculation of the capital gains tax to be paid based on the sale price of a property minus all expenses associated with acquiring, holding, and disposing the property. It indicates the total capital gains one can earn and tax one should pay the Australian Taxation Office.

calculate

Loan Repayments Calculator

Investors need to determine the appropriate loan repayments would be over a certain period of years of their home loan agreements. The Smart Property Investment's loan repayment calculator provides a determinate amount of loan repayments by using the length of the loan term, interest rate, and loan-to-value-ratio to calculate the total amount needed for repaying the loan.

In this episode of Investing Insights with Right Property Group, Steve and Victor discuss the numerous property investment strategies taking an in-depth look of two of the most common ones.
They will share the strategies which they have implemented and seen the most success from, look at why they work, and discuss why some strategies are dangerous and should in their opinion be avoided.
Steve and Victor also discuss blue chip properties and their mindset surrounding these as investments, how infrastructure impacts property prices and how to make that work to your advantage.  They will also unpack whether now is still a good time to invest in the property market.

Called “Request an Auction”, the new functionality enables users to watch and bid on any Sydney or Melbourne auction remotely.
Through Gavl, prospective buyers are now able to register to bid on their preferred auction. The platform will obtain permission from the listing agent and confirm within 48 hours.
Vendors can also request to have their auctions broadcast to a larger buyer audience.
Co-founder Joel Smith said that auctions streamed on Gavl attract 47 per cent more viewers than traditional ones.
He said that Request an Auction will be valuable for remote buyers.
“Buyers are able to have Gavl attend any auction they nominate, so they will never have to miss out on an opportunity due to logistical complications in physically attending the auction.
“Vendors, too, have the opportunity to directly book an auction with us, so they can open up their event to buyers all around the world. With more potential buyers, they’re giving their property the chance to receive more bids and maximise their sales result.”
Mr Smith said that prior to the Request an Auction app, buyers were limited to what they could achieve through the Gavl technology.
Gavl is a live-streaming and bidding platform for real estate auctions.
Mr Smith said that it has streamed more than 6,000 auctions, which have achieved 3.5 million views from 50 countries.
Gavl’s Request an Auction function is currently being offered in Melbourne and Sydney only."
