Buying an investment property? Don’t get blindsided. We break down every hidden cost — from stamp duty and LMI to settlement adjustments, strata levies, property management fees, landlord insurance, maintenance, loan package fees, and selling costs. Use our simple rules of thumb and budgeting formulas to keep your deal cash-flow safe.

Includes:

• Upfront purchase costs (duty, conveyancing, B&P/strata, titles, LMI)
• Settlement & first-month surprises (adjustments, insurance, connections)
• Ongoing ownership costs (PM fees, rates/water, strata, maintenance, land tax)
• Finance traps (package fees, rate-locks, IO expiry, discharge/break fees)
• Exit costs (commission, marketing, sale conveyancing, CGT heads-up)
