The RBA raised rates today.
And for property investors, that changes the numbers immediately.
Take a $1 million property.
A residential investment returning $800–$900 a week might look reasonable on paper. But that’s gross. Once you account for strata, land tax, management fees, insurance and other outgoings, you could be left with around $35,000 in your hand.
Compare that with a commercial property at a 6.5% net yield: $65,000 after outgoings, before the mortgage.
As the cost of debt rises, that difference matters more and more.
So what does today’s rate rise actually mean for property investors — and what should you be looking at from here?
This Thursday night, the Unikorn team is running a live webinar breaking down the rate rise, what it changes, and how investors can position themselves in the new environment.
