PROPERTY MANAGEMENT FAQs

We are a dedicated Property Management company, that is our business.

Our Property Management fee for long term rentals is 8% + GST, negotiable for multiple properties. Leasing fee for finding a new tenant, holding open inspections, reference checking and In-Going Report equals 1.5 weeks rent.

Our Airbnb Property Management fee for short term rentals is 15% + GST. Initial set up fee of $750 covers Professional Photography, email templates and creating the listing profile on the various channels like AirBnB, Booking.com, VRBO, Stayz and Expedia. Again we work on a commission basis so will only get paid as you receive income.

Yes for long term rentals. No for short term rentals. We want the whole process to be simple and for you to feel totally confident that things are simply being taken care of.

That's why we guarantee your rent. If the tenant fails to pay, we will pay your rent out of our own pocket.

Terms and Conditions apply including the below;
• Property must have 6 week bond
• Landlord must maintain property as required
• Rent Guarantee not valid if property is vacant upon receival
• Bond covers the initial 6 weeks rent before guarantee begins
• Landlord insurance is held to cover damages, landlord covers the excess

If your property is managed by KingsCoin, it will not be vacant for an extended period of time, as we will act to resolve this issue.

If a property is not leasing then we examine the marketing (photos, headline, editorial and any special conditions), then we check the pricing against the market.

The number of enquiries tells us if it is a marketing or a pricing issue. If we are getting tenants to the Open Inspection but not getting offers, then we need to look at the property to see what is putting tenants off.

We position your property as being valuable to a prospective tenant. We seek feedback from prospective tenants who come to view the property to help identify any issues and how we can improve the property in order to secure tenancy.

We use several different companies with whom we have relationships with. When partnering with a property maintenance company, we consider costs, quality of work, timing and the on-going relationship.

We ensure that our tradesmen understand the needs of landlords and we also ensure we are not sending out tradesmen for simple jobs that we or the tenant can easily remedy.

The KingsCoin team manage just over 300 long term rentals and over 50 short term rentals nationwide.

One of the key financial benefits of owning an investment property is that your tenant helps to pay off the property for you. Over time, not only do you build ownership, but the property’s resale value is also likely to appreciate. This means you may continue earning a regular income from rent, or you have the option to sell the property and realise a profit.

Property investment also offers the advantage of leveraging your wealth. For example, with $100,000, you could purchase $100,000 worth of shares; however, in property, that same amount might allow you to acquire an asset worth $800,000. A five percent increase in value on a $800,000 property delivers significantly greater returns than a five percent gain on a $100,000 investment, making property a powerful tool for building wealth.

KingsCoin carefully selects contractors based on their proven experience, quality of work, and reputation for reliability. We assess each contractor against our high standards and ensure they share our commitment to professionalism and client satisfaction.

Before engaging any contractor, we review their track record, qualifications, and feedback from previous projects to make sure they align with KingsCoin’s values. This thorough selection process helps us deliver consistently high-quality outcomes for our clients.

Aside from negative gearing, there is another way to lower your income tax through property investment. It is done by using the depreciation of a property as an offset to your income tax.

As an example, if your rental income is $20,000 per annum, while your mortgage repayments are $19,000, you're making $1,000 profit. But by depreciating the value of that property by $10,000 per annum, you're actually making what's seen as a loss of $9,000.

That loss you offset it against your income tax. Most of that depreciation comes in the first five years or so, so typically this strategy is more successfully applied to a new property.

However, please note depreciation is a tax deferral, not a rebate. This means when you sell the property, you've got to pay that money back to the ATO.

Positive gearing occurs when the income you earn from your investment property—for example, rent—exceeds the expenses associated with owning it, resulting in a profit. Negative gearing, on the other hand, is when the property’s expenses are higher than the income it generates, causing a loss that may be offset against your taxable income. Both strategies have different financial implications, so it’s important to consider which approach best suits your investment goals and financial situation.

Yes, we do.

As specialists in Adelaide property investment, KingsCoin brings valuable expertise to help you select the right broker. We recognise that not all companies offer the same level of service, and some brokers specialise in certain types of products. That’s why KingsCoin recommends working with a mortgage broker rather than approaching a bank directly, ensuring our clients receive tailored guidance for their specific needs.

A knowledgeable mortgage broker will understand which banks are best suited to your application, carefully considering each lender’s appetite for new business, the costs involved, and the interest rates offered. Importantly, mortgage brokers are compensated by the banks, not by you. At KingsCoin, we are committed to guiding you toward trusted brokers who place your financial interests first—ensuring you receive advice that helps you secure the most suitable mortgage for your investment goals.
