    Great content. Im looking at rezoning to either multilet. The property i ha e recently purchased is an oldey with a huge plot at the back and the neighbor is also looking to sell. He is widowed and is considering moving to a retirement home. That house also has a plot for a backyard (i mean the yards are huge) My thought process is that if i can successfully acquire the house next door, I can consolidate the two properties. Both properties are currently res1. The area has potential to convert/ rezone. The neighbor to the left had rezoned to a commercial and the property is used as storage for a tile company. The second property to my right (property right to my neighbor) is a multilet with a lot of rooms at the back and next to that property they are using the backyard as an vehicle repair workshop. The erfs are huge in the area. The house diagonally from my property is also a multilet. My question at the moment is trying to find out if want to build a double storey of bachelors flats can i get away with applying for consent use instead of going the whole rezoning journey. Thank you for sharing.

    Solid advice, I have been doing this for years on my investment properties and it is just like he said! To add my 2 cents, in addition to the above I pay my bonds weekly, renegotiate my interest every 2years, and pay my first Installment a day or 2 after the bond is registered.

  • @talkingwiththembi4609
    @talkingwiththembi4609 2 місяці тому

    So if you have a home and you are close to pay of the bond in full and you are planning to buy your next property.Is it wise to take a loan in your current bond and buy the new property cash or make a deposit to your second property?

    Don't they charge a higher interest rate for a 30 year loan?

    • @ReaperOfBread
      @ReaperOfBread 2 місяці тому

      Generally they give 30 year loans if you can't afford the 20 year repayment. However, if you can afford it you have the choice to get a 30 year bond. This does not affect the interest rate. On 1 property that I got a 20 year loan on I got an interest rate of prime plus 0.5 basis points. Whereas for a much more expensive property 3 years down the line we got a 30 year bond for 1 basis point below prime. It's all about credit score and affordability.

    Seems a bit biased in the selling price argument. Thinking that a 8.5% annual growth rate is achievable or sustainable in a high interest rate environment is crazy.

    • @taylacalcott7839
      @taylacalcott7839 2 місяці тому

      Banks will require building insurance on the property you’ve purchased. Sectional titles managed by a body corporate etc sometimes have this included in your levies. Freeholds you’ll need to acquire your own insurance. Don’t be afraid to ask your bank and compare quotes.

    • @philemonbodiba

    • @charlprop

      You must have life insurance ceded to the bank.

    • @MusehanaH
      @MusehanaH 2 місяці тому

      @charlprop_livingincenturion, not in all instances. My bank required one when I purchased my first entry level apartment...and the same bank didn't when I purchased my second a bit upmarket apartment. I asked the bond attorney why that was and was told it depend on the risk profile as determined by the bank.
