As your Property Manager, it is important that we ensure you are maximising your return on your investment. With tax time just around the corner, we wanted to double check that you are covered when it comes to claiming your second largest deduction (depreciation) via a Tax Depreciation Schedule – which will help reduce your taxable income and allow you to pay less tax.  

As property investors, we often hear the phrase "don't put all your eggs in one basket." It's an essential concept to understand, particularly when it comes to property investment. Diversification is a strategy that can help protect your investments, minimise risk, and maximise returns over the long run.

Every year people complain about Easter eggs being in the shops already in February, it’s one of those perennial water cooler topics like the magpie swooping season.

We are big believers at Spark Property that rentals deserve the same attention as sales when it comes to marketing, which is why we include professional photography with every one of our new listings. Not only do professional photos create a lasting first impression, they can often add perceived value to a listing and can be used in the marketing for years to come. Just like you engage a Property Manager to manage your property, a photographer specialises in creating beautiful images that capture the essence and emotion of a property - we know when to pass the buck to ensure our Clients receive the best service. High quality marketing isn’t outside of the budget or possibility for your rental property, you just need to find the right Agent to make it work.

Investing in Property can be very rewarding, it is a popular way to grow your wealth with assets you can hold on to and develop into the future. The sky is the limit!
