Can Gen Y’s afford an investment property

Baby Boomers to rescue Gen Y investment property woe's

These days with the price of properties being about 10 times the annual, average wage, how is a Generation Y going to afford an investment property? Well the answer for a lucky few are via their baby boomer parents who can leverage off the equity in their investment property or even the family home that now has been either fully paid off or the majority of the mortgage.

“1 in 5 Gen Y’s could not afford an investment property without their family’s help”

According to Australian Property sources, a staggering 1 in 5 Gen Y’s would not be able to afford a investment property without their parents property investment help. A one in five may not sound like a big statistic, however was this the case back in the day of the Baby Boomers? Two decades ago, it was the norm for the husbands wage to be able to cover the mortgage, while the new mum-to-be would have been busy toting a new baby bub, so their property investment path was on course to help them for their retirement and future in general.

With the year being 2011, it is now only possible for the majority of Gen Y’s getting into the property market by combining both wages, to be able to scrape together the property deposit needed for the financing and, most likely, struggle from that point on to securely make the investment property repayments.

1. Location, location, location is probably one of the most heard sayings when it comes to investment property, well actually, anything to do with buying or selling property in general. Choosing to buy and investment property in a good location can literally make or break the property investment, maybe not over the long term, but in the short term, may developers and property investors looking to quickly flip a property can quickly find themselves in financial trouble.

Ensuring you have done your homework and picked out a good location for your investment property is crucial to your Australian property portfolio.

2. Buy a quality investment property! This can be a bit of a debate but it generally comes down to what “purpose” are you buying the property, however if a property investor was to be looking to purchase an apartment in a development, the size of the development can effect the long term capital growth. Smaller, boutique property developments generally hold value better than large high-rise apartment buildings.

3. Investment Property Vacancy Rates. This may be one of the more forgotten factors when buying an investment property as some investors can bury themselves in property purchase prices along with land taxes and potential capital growth, but totally forgetting how much of the time their investment property could be left vacant for through an investment term. Most investment properties in Australia are vacant (on average) about 5%.
