Rental Property V Shares

7 September 2023

A summary of the potential performance differences of an Investment Property to a Share Portfolio.  Cashflow and asset valuation comparisons for each year over the next 30 years.

Investment Property Scenario:

   •   $750,000 - purchase price + stamp duty, legal costs etc

         o   ~$800,000 – total purchase price
   •   $500,000 – borrowing
   •   $300,000 – capital required for a deposit, stamp duty etc
   •   5% gross income yield
         o   $37,500 per annum or $721 per week
   •   2.1% annual capital growth
   •   Estimated total annual returns of 7.10%
   •   Mortgage borrowing rate of 7%
         o   Interest of $35,000 year 1
         o   Principle repayments of $31,700 in year 1
         o   Loan repaid after 10 years
   •   Jointly owned property
         o   Personal marginal tax rate of 47%
         o   Spouse personal marginal tax rate of 34.5%
   •   Rental expenses of $9,000 per annum (rates, insurance, maintenance etc)
   •   $65,287 year 1 net capital/ cashflow contribution required to cover the shortfall of rent and making principal loan repayments


Share Portfolio Scenario:
   •   Starting investing balance of $250,000
   •   Additional annual contribution of $60,000
   •   Annual re-invested dividend yield of 3.29%
   •   Annual capital growth of 3.55%
   •   Estimated total annual returns of 6.84%

Investment Property vs Share Portfolio ten year comparison

The comparable portfolio using the same metrics would derive the same results with a property of higher value.


Conclusion:
The share portfolio provides a higher capital balance at the end of each year with a lower starting portfolio balance ($250k vs ~$300k) and a slightly lower annual contribution.


For the investment portfolio, it could be owned via an investment bond which would provide additional benefits of capping the annual tax rate at 30% which would be significantly lower than the personal marginal tax rate of 47% which would reduce to 0% after 10 years.
