Question 12

What Should Investor's Aim For ... Cash Flow OR Capital Growth?

Accepted Answer

Before answering this question, let’s establish the meaning of the two strategies.

Cash flow is the income you will receive each year.

Capital growth is how much your property increases each year.
 
Cash flow refers to the income you will be getting on an annual basis for  your investment property. The yield is a good indicator of your cash  flow. As a rule of thumb, less than 5% yield is lower cash flow whilst a  property gaining more than 5% is good cash flow.

Yield is  worked out by multiplying weekly rent by 52 then dividing this over the  purchase price then x 100. For example, a weekly rent in Morayfield is  $360 and was purchased for $308,000. Applying the above formula: $360 x  52  = 18720 / 308 000 x 100 =  6% yield.

Capital growth is how  much the property increases in value each year. For example, the same  property in Morayfield was purchased at $308,000 in 2014 and now is  valued at $360,000. The capital growth is 16.8%. This is a substantial  growth rate. Sydney has been experiencing on average growth rates of up  to 20% in 2014 - 2015. Some capital cities have not experienced the same  capital growth and this is due to various economic drivers and factors  such as supply/demand for property.

So now the question is, which one should you focus on?

Well  the short answer to this question is to focus on both cash flow and  capital growth. Cash flow will ensure you remain in the property market  in the short term whilst capital growth ensures you remain in the  property market in the long term. You will need to service the debt.  Thus a good strong yield will ensure you are not stretching your budget  each month and you can safely pay the mortgage with the rental income.  In the long term, you will want your property to increase in value so  when you eventually sell it, you will have equity. This equity could be  used to pay off another investment property then quite simply you have  passive income. Also, strong capital growth will mean you can use as  equity for your next property purchase. Thus capital growth ensures you  can build wealth.

It is very possible to focus on both when  carrying out due diligence research. When you are building your property  portfolio it is important to have a diverse range of properties across  the nation where some focus more on capital growth and some investments  will be cash flow.

For example, Salisbury in Adelaide is a good  cash flow property with steady capital growth. Whilst Cranbourne in  Melbourne has strong capital growth and is a lower cash flow property.
