However, Sally soon figured out the negatives of investing with such a strategy.<br \/>\n\u201dWe realised the downfalls associated with lower-entry properties \u2013 they\u2019re higher maintenance, lower capital growth, and attract less reliable tenants. So we started to look for slightly more expensive properties in areas that were more likely to off er better tenants and better growth.\u201d<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>Adapting for profit<\/strong><br \/>\nSally and her husband used some of their savings, as well as the equity from their first personal home, to do a minor renovation. After spending\u00a0<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/au.res.keymedia.com\/files\/image\/Crystal%20Palmer%209%283%29.JPG?w=1060&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" \/>about $3,000, the changes they made to the property boosted its value by approximately $15,000. This motivated Sally to make an important change to her\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourinvestmentpropertymag.com.au\/investment-strategies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">investment strategy<\/a>.<br \/>\n\u201cWe looked to find underpriced property that we could add value to through small-scale renovations,\u201d she says.<br \/>\n\u201c[On] our second property, we spent about $5,000 to increase the value by about $25,000.<br \/>\nOn our third, we spent about $2,000 to increase the value by $10,000\u2013$15,000. On our most recent property we spent $45,000 but were able to increase the value by approximately $115,000.\u201d<br \/>\nSally has therefore shifted her focus towards rundown properties that show potential.<br \/>\n\u201cWe are looking for places that are poorly presented and a little on the tired or ugly side,\u201d she says.<br \/>\nNot only was Sally able to enhance the value of these dwellings, but she was able to increase the rental rate she could set. The appeal of her investment properties is also enhanced by her careful consideration of a property\u2019s location and the available amenities in the area.<br \/>\n\u201cWe\u2019ve tried to ensure the properties that we buy are located in areas that have diversified industries \u2013 tourism, farming, manufacturing, military, education, etc \u2013 rather than looking at smaller towns that might be heavily reliant on one or two major employers.\u201d<br \/>\nSally\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourinvestmentpropertymag.com.au\/top-suburbs\/nsw-2640-thurgoona.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Thurgoona<\/a>\u00a0investment fit these criteria as it was surrounded by shops and parks, and near a school, supermarkets and other facilities. Later, when she purchased her\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourinvestmentpropertymag.com.au\/top-suburbs\/vic-3690-wodonga.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wodonga<\/a>\u00a0property, she saw its potential for subdivision as holiday accommodation, since the suburb is located on the Rail Trail.<br \/>\n\u201cWhile I have often looked at investing around Australia, we have always ended up buying in regional areas around where we live, as<br \/>\nI feel I have a better understanding of the market and it gives us the ability to undertake renovations easily,\u201d Sally says.<br \/>\nIt was close to home in Myrtleford, Victoria, that she made her most favourable investment in 2015 \u2013 a block of two three-bedroom units just a short distance from the shops in town that Sally was able to purchase for under the selling price.<br \/>\n\u201cAt the time the units were being leased for $170 and $180 ($350 total). We renovated the top and bottom units for approximately $45,000,\u201d she says.<br \/>\n\u201cThe renovations included new double-glazed windows, two new kitchens, two new bathrooms, painting throughout, landscaping and new fencing and carports.\u201d<br \/>\nThe process was difficult, as Sally was nursing an eight-month-old baby at the time and her husband was working full-time. However, their hard work paid off \u00a0when the property\u2019s value was boosted to $380,000 and the original rental rate to almost $200.<br \/>\n<strong>WHAT DID THE JUDGES SAY?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/au.res.keymedia.com\/files\/image\/Paul%20Smith%203%282%29.JPG?resize=80%2C126&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"80\" height=\"126\" \/><\/strong>\u201cSally has started off small, learning the ropes and then tackling bigger projects.

I thought we could just buy and hold our properties and watch them rise in value over the years,\u201d she says.<br \/>\n\u201cWhile properties may have increased a lot in certain cities during the last seven years, regional areas have not experienced the same growth.\u201d<br \/>\nThis discovery has been the impetus for Sally to go further as a property renovator and move from small-scale cosmetic renovations to more major overhauls in order to generate more equity and increase rental profit.<br \/>\n\u201cRegional investing is very different from investing in blue-chip markets in capital cities, and so you have to be adaptive and creative in order to make money. Shifting away from a purely cash flow mindset to more of a focus on capital growth and equity creation has been important for us. The increased cash flow from higher property values has been the bonus.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><em>\u201cWe had to spend around $100,000 in all to conceive our two children, and were still able to purchase eight properties in seven years, so I think we did pretty well!\u201d<\/em><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Expanding horizons<\/strong><br \/>\nSally aims to remain flexible and creative in her investment strategy in order to work around ever-tightening lending criteria.<br \/>\n\u201cI think with changing markets and changing lending restrictions you have to be flexible and adaptive as an investor and choose the strategy that best suits your situation in both the short term and the long term.\u201d<br \/>\nEventually, Sally plans to expand her portfolio to other parts of Australia.<br \/>\n\u201cUltimately, we try to purchase in places where we know there will be a growing population, investment in infrastructure and high demand for rentals. This will hopefully translate to increased capital growth in the future,\u201d she explains.<br \/>\nBeing a mum with two kids isn\u2019t an easy position for a renovator to be in, but Sally makes it work by being cautious financially and making sure that property investment does not limit the couple\u2019s personal goals.<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/au.res.keymedia.com\/files\/image\/Sally%20Lewis%202%281%29.JPG?w=1060&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n\u201cWe always have a savings buffer in place when purchasing investment properties.
