Like many of you, I spent years juggling work and family commitments, hoping for financial freedom and more time with my loved ones. 

Focusing on building a portfolio of properties with high capital growth potential and strong rental yield, I was able to create passive income and focus on what really matters. 

But what does positive cash flow mean? It means your property generates enough rental income to cover all expenses, including mortgage repayments, property taxes and maintenance.  

This is still possible in the current property market, due to strong rental demand. 

It’s become harder for first home buyers to enter the market, forcing people to rent for longer and therefore creating more rental demand. Population increases have also put more demand on the rental market. In fact, according to Domain, the national rental vacancy rate is at a record-low of 0.8%. 

This high demand for rental properties is expected to keep vacancy rates low and continue to keep rental income competitive. Focusing on properties with high capital growth potential and strong rental yield properties helped me, and that’s what we generally recommend for investors.
