Expected Learning Outcomes:

1. Identify all Property costs involved in residential property investment such as

• Recurring holding costs including maintenance & service fees, property tax, service commission for finding tenants and income tax, deductibles for taxes and vacancy allowance, e.g. in between leases.

2. Differentiate one-off costs, e.g. (i) stamp fees, (ii) disposal costs from recurring costs, e.g. (iii) maintenance & service charges, (iv) property,  (v) income taxes, (vi) service commission for leasing etc.
