Overview
This Use Equity to Own Multiple Properties Planning Tool will help you to understand if it is possible for you to purchase multiple properties using the equity in your existing properties.
Equity is the difference between the current market value of your properties and how much you owe on them. You cannot use all available equity because banks will typically lend you 80% of the value of your home. This means the equity you can use is 80% of total property value less the debt you still owe against it. This is considered your useable equity or accessible equity. Below is an example on how to calculate your property equity.
If we assume that your property is worth $1,000,000 and the current debt on your home loan is $300,000, then you have $1,000,000 - $300,000 = $700,000 worth of equity in your property. We can calculate your usable equity by 2 steps:
- (1) First we calculate 80% of your property value: $1,000,000 x 80% = $800,000;
- (2) Then we take the 80% of your property value and subtract your current outstanding debt: $800,000 - $300,000 = $500,000. This means you have $500,000 worth of usable equity which you can use to fund the deposit and other purchase costs including stamp duty and settlement fees etc. for another property.
This Use Equity to Own Multiple Properties Planning Tool helps you to plan how you can purchase multiple properties by using the equity in your existing properties. You can enter up to 10 properties. You can change LVR for each of the 10 properties. You can also define other variables such as inflation rate, capital appreciation rate etc.
