Compare two investment properties side by side. See what each could be worth, plus the rent after costs, and what you give up by choosing one over the other.
For each property, grow the price by its yearly growth rate for the years held. Add the rent after costs for each year. That is the property's total return.
The opportunity cost is the difference between the two totals: what the weaker choice costs you.
Interest, deductions and tax on sale change both totals. Speak with your accountant.
A higher growth assumption is only worth it if it is realistic. Past growth is not a reliable guide.
Stamp duty differs by state and price, so include it if the two properties are in different states.
Most of the investment properties we secure for clients are bought off market or pre market. Book a strategy call and we'll run your plan with you.
It is what you give up by choosing one property over another: the extra value and income the other one could have earned.
Not always. A property with lower rent but stronger growth can end up ahead over a long hold. This calculator shows the trade off.
No. Rent and costs stay the same each year, so the comparison stays simple and fair to both properties.
