Your first result, what you own less what you owe, in about five minutes.
Once you verify your email, the app opens on Add property, one page. About five minutes later If sold opens: what you would have if you sold it today.
1. What should I have to hand?
The property's address, the contract date and the price you paid, from the contract of sale. The weekly rent if it is rented, and your income this year before tax.
If there is a loan on it, your latest loan statement as a PDF. It fills in the address and the loan for you to check.
2. What does Add property ask?
One page: the address, the contract date and the price you paid, whether you have lived in it or rented it out, and whether there is a loan on it. Then a little about you: a HELP debt, your income this year and whether you are an Australian resident for tax. You are its owner, and anyone you own it with is added later.
You are not asked what it is worth now. PropRetire moves the price you paid by the local market. With a loan, the loan comes next on one page. Select Add property.
No property? On Setup, add a bank or super account instead. Loans and the rest go in later, as Setup shows.
3. Where is my first result?
Saving opens If sold: the cash a sale today would leave, once the loan and selling costs are paid, with the tax where your records allow it. Under it, To make this answer closer lists what would sharpen it. Portfolio position then shows what you own, less what you owe.
4. Can I see an example first?
Yes. See an example first, on Add property and on Setup, opens the Mitchell household. They are made up, their figures come from the same calculations as yours, and nothing in it can be changed.
Every page of the example says so, with Start with your own to come back.
5. What comes next?
Setup names the next record to add and the results waiting on it, such as a loan for Refinance or income for Current cashflow. Setup walks through it.
