Property investments: what you need to know

Recurring rates, fees and maintenance costs need to be balanced against projected rental income to determine whether a property will be positively or negatively geared.

Keeping on top of these costs by factoring them into your calculations is the key to successfully maximising your property investment portfolio, whilst minimising your personal stress levels.
