Jake Furst is head chef of Cinder, the elegant fire-driven restaurant in Fitzroy North's 150-year-old pub The Terminus Hotel, and also executive chef of the Kickon Group, a hospitality group that runs large scale, high-end venues in Melbourne, Sorrento, and Queensland. Since the Group took over the Terminus, they have completely renovated it, creating a casual pub feel out the front, extensive beer garden and marquee seating, a private dining room upstairs and Cinder, which really is breathtaking. It is quite the maze in the Terminus and Jake took me for a tour before we sat down to chat. When we came through the door to Cinder, there was a lot to take in, blue stone back wall, timbered ceiling and wall features and the original pendant lights, glowing softly and bathing the room in a golden light. Cinder also has a private dining room with exquisite wines forming a wall at one end. For the lucky 80 people who have signed up to the Cuts Club (there are still places), they have a specially assigned steak knife hand made by Mathieu Deschamps in the Dandenongs hanging in a wooden awards cabinet on the wall for when they come to visit. It really feels like a magical place. Jake is all about the collaborations and you can check them all out on the Terminus website, but important to note is the upcoming Melbourne Food and Wine Festival event, where Good Food's Young Chef of the Year Nicholas Deligiannis (Audrey's) will join Jake on March 28 and 29 for a unique take on the surf'n'turf. Deligiannis's love for seafood and Furst's passion for dry-aged beef will collide. Jake and I talked about all sorts of things and once we had finished, Jake told me that he had prepared lunch for me and I very happily sat down to delicious dry aged Cape Grim steak, perfectly cooked, of course and felt very special indeed.

Most people see a heritage overlay or heritage listing as finite. If Heritage Victoria want to label a house 'Heritage', because of it being typical of the era, it's designed by a distinct architect or has an overlay that's consistent with the streetscape, then you really don't have a leg to stand on if you want to make significant changes to the property. Or do you? Today we are going to find out how a stubborn property developer managed to get her family home of 59 years off the heritage register.  Helen Skoric has a family history in Fitzroy North that goes back to 1963. Her immigrant parents bought the double fronted Victorian home after working in Gertrude Street Fitzroy at the Blue Danube restaurant where they invited Yugoslav migrants to live in their back bungalow while they worked out where they would settle in Melbourne. Helen is now a property developer and Director of Parameni P/L and has 25 years experience in all types of domestic renovations, extensions and new builds. 1. In the introduction, I told listeners a little bit about your family's story, but explain to us about the type of home your parent's bought, the memories and what your neighbours ended up doing? 2. Why did the powers at be believe that your parent's home should be heritage listed? 3. Why did you believe it shouldn't be heritage listed? 4. What are some great tips to help you remove a heritage listing off a property? 5. How did you remove the heritage listing off the property? 6. Who helped you remove the heritage listing? 7. What have you designed to go on the land now?   *Follow Helen's project journey on Real Estate Right*   Need Copywriting?

The value of a property consists of two components being the land plus any improvements i.e., the dwelling. Generally, land appreciates in value whereas buildings depreciate over time due to wear and tear.It is possible to manufacture equity in a property by making improvements e.g. renovating/rebuilding the existing dwelling or constructing multiple dwellings. This occurs when the end value of the property exceeds its cost e.g. spending $100,000 on a renovation improves its value by $150,000, thereby “creating” $50,000 in equity.This blog considers the merits of this strategy.The theory (maths)As noted above, a property's value is the aggregate of the land value plus the building value. In investment-grade locations, it is not unusual for the land value to represent at least 60% of the total value and the improvements 40%.If we assume the long-term capital growth rate for these types of assets is likely to be in excess of 7% p.a. (which isn't uncommon), then the land must appreciate at a higher rate to offset the building's depreciation to result in an overall appreciation rate of 7% p.a. If we assume that the building depreciates by 2.5% p.a., then the land must appreciate by 13.3% p.a.For example, if a property is worth $100, then the building value is $40, and it will depreciate by $1 p.a. (being 2.5%) and the land value which is $60 will appreciate by $8 (being 13.3%). Therefore, its total value after one year will be $100 - $1 + $8 = $107, being a 7% p.a. growth rate.Therefore, to maximise your expected rate of capital growth, you must spend as much as possible on the land in return for spending as little as possible on the building.Capital improvements create a once-off value appreciationIt is common for the market value of a newly renovated or constructed property to exceed its hard cost. This occurs for a few reasons:§ Completing building works takes several months or years. In addition, there's a lot of work involved in coordinating and meeting with architects, buildings and so forth. Not everyone wants to go through that process. As such, buyers may pay a premium to secure a move-in-ready dwelling.§ Undertaking building works is not a riskless exercise. Things can go wrong including cost blow outs and so on. As such, some purchasers will pay a premium to avoid these risks.§ Newly constructed or renovated properties are more marketable/appealing because they are in better condition. Their improved marketability means they will attract a higher price.§ Subdividing creates value because you create more affordable parcels of land. For example, a developer might construct 4 townhouses on a 1,000 sqm block of land. There's a lot more people that can afford to buy a townhouse on 250 sqm of land compared to a house on 1,000 sqm of land.The market will discount properties in disrepairFor the same reasons that newly constructed or renovated properties command a premium, properties that are in disrepair tend to attract discounts. That's because fewer buyers have the time and appetite to buy a property that needs refurbishment.To maximise your capital growth, it is best to maintain the dwelling in a state that is in keeping with buyer expectations.Benefits from making capital improvementsRenovating or rebuilding an investment property can give rise to a few possible benefits:§ Improved rental yield – typically tenants will pay a higher rental rate for dwellings in better condition, larger accommodation or more amenities.§ Depreciation benefits – capital works can typically be depreciated at a rate of 2.5% p.a. and plant and equipment (i.e., fixtures and fittings) over its useful life (which typically ranges from 6 to 10 years). For example, a $250,000 renovation that includes $70,000 of plant and equipment could result in an annual depreciation deduction of $11,500. This would result in a $5,400 p.a. tax saving if you are on the highest marginal tax rate.§ Value appreciation – as discussed above, it is not uncommon for the value uplift to be greater than the construction cost, thereby improving your equity position.Of course, funding the cost of the renovations gives rise to a higher interest bill (if funded via a loan).Financial analysisUsing actual properties/situations, I considered three different scenarios that involve making capital improvements to investment properties. The key financial modelling assumptions are listed at the end of this blog.Scenario one – cosmetic renovationPurchase a single-fronted, period house in Fitzroy North for $1.5 million and spend $250,000 on a cosmetic renovation e.g. new bathroom, kitchen, floor and window coverings, paint, etc. The unrenovated rental income would be $500-$550 per week. Post-renovation, the rental income would increase to $750-800 p/week.The alternate to this strategy is to purchase a house for $1.725 million that is in good condition, doesn't need any renovations and rents for $600 per week.The chart below illustrates that both options are relatively similar from a financial perspective, and it really depends on the opportunity to add value/create equity. The greater the scope to do that, the more favourable the renovation option will be.Chart 1Scenario two: full rebuildPurchase a rundown house on 800 sqm in the blue-chip suburb of Indooroopilly, Brisbane for $1.5 million. Demolish and build a 4-to-5-bedroom family home with a pool at a cost of $1.2 million. The completed value of the property is estimated to be $3 million. Its rental income will increase from $400 per week to $1,500 per week.The alternate to this strategy is to purchase a second investment property for $1.1 million (total cost of $1.2 million).The chart below illustrates that the rebuild scenario is better in the shorter term (over first 8 years), which makes sense due to instant equity and improved cash flow by circa $26,000 p.a. (due to higher rental income and depreciation tax deductions). However, in the long run, buying another property with a strong land value component creates a lot more wealth. About $1 million (approximately 30%) more wealth in today's dollar over 20 years, due to the power of compounding capital growth. Land compounds in value, buildings don't. This aligns with the theme in last week's blog about playing the long game.Chart 2Scenario three: small developmentPurchase a development site for $1.5 million. Demolish the existing dwelling and construct two townhouses for a total cost of $1.2 million. Completed townhouses will be worth circa $1.7 million each and will rent out for $800 per week (each).The alternate to this strategy is to purchase two investment properties for $1.3 million each (total cost of $2.8 million, which is the same as the development option).The outcome is like scenario 2 but not as stark. The develop option is better over the first 11-12 years. But over 20 years, the ‘buy and hold' option creates more wealth by circa $640,000 in today's dollars (or 16%).Chart 3You can make capital improvements in the futureYou can always renovate or rebuild a property at any time. However, one thing you cannot change is the land size, orientation and location. Whilst the cost of building does increase over time (partly driven by tighter building regulations), the cost of land increases at a much faster rate. Therefore, at least initially, I always counsel clients to invest most of their money in land as reasonably possible.Future use of your investment propertiesOne advantage of developing, rebuilding and renovating properties is that you can ensure you have a sustainable and desirable building style that align with modern requirements. This will ensure it appeals to tenants and maximise your rental income. And if you plan to bequeath your property(s), your beneficiaries may enjoy a higher quality of accommodation e.g. for some people a newer townhouse may be more desirable than a 100+ year old Victorian cottage. This is a matter of personal preference.Improving the property is different from maintaining itIt is important to maintain your investment property so that it's in good tenantable condition. It also needs to be in the condition that buyers expect. As I have written inthis past blog, you can delay maintaining a property but never avoid it. A poorly maintained property will eventually demand repairs (otherwise it becomes untenantable) or if you sell it in disrepair, it's likely it will sell at a discount.Building deprecates. Land appreciates.The outcome of my analysis stands to basic logic. If buildings depreciate, then it stands to reason that you should invest as much as possible in the land value. Firstly, you want the highest quality land. Secondly, you want as much of it as your budget will allow.______________Financial modelling assumptions: Financial projections include current property rental incomes appreciating by 3% p.a., less related property expenses (higher expenses are included for older dwellings), land capital growth, interest expense at 5% p.a., tax benefits and depreciation deductions on capital improvements, and building improvements are depreciated at 1.25% p.a. to determine future value (which is half of the tax rate of depreciation to reflect rising replacement costs over time). Investors value is calculated as the aggregate of net equity plus cumulative negative cash flow which is discounted back in today's dollars.

In this episode, your hosts are joined by Jason Cavangh at his new venue The Motley Bauhaus. There is a lot of audio ambiance (note the possessed air conditioner and perfectly aged theatre chairs) in this episode as we record from mid-construction of Fitzroy North’s newest cross-disciplinary arts space. We talk to Jason about constantly evolving arts spaces, the cross point of art and money and Matto finally admits to liking rosé.The Motley Bauhouse - https://www.themotley.com.au/Res Artis - http://www.resartis.org/en/

As soon as I walked into Citrico Daniel started talking and enthusiastically showing me around the restaurant. This beautiful two storied space in Fitzroy North is absolutely worth the tour. Daniel generously gave me an hour of his time as he talked about his love of cooking, his desire to share the Peruvian food of his youth, depression amongst chefs and the beautiful cycle he feels part of where the sun encourages growth, the product is harvested and he then gets to cook it and feed people. I felt privileged to have shared that hour with Daniel and happy that Melburnians get to eat this food made with love, great humility and respect.

Lee and Ryan sit down with Maddie, a 28yr old trans woman who uses she/her pronouns. She talks about growing up in Adelaide, trans representation in the media, live music, visibility, reinvention and living authentically, and how crucial community is. Also included are shout-outs to Fitzroy North and Meetup.com. Lee learns not to put Ryan in charge of the technical side of recording, but they work through it and Ryan is invited back next time. Music throughout by 90s Flav. To find more on 90sFlav check out the following links:

Our fifth guest for the season is one of my favorite people in the Melbourne antique scene! Welcome, Evan Crofton Bradhurst from Apologue in Fitzroy North.. After leaving school and working as a graphic designer, Evan turned his side hustle of selling antiques into a full-time reality and has now been dealing in decorative arts for 12 years. Apologue is a beautiful little shop filled with eclectic beauty! Evan's collection is a handsome mix of English, French, Asian and African decorative and applied arts. I was drawn to Apologue because it isn't your run of the mill antique store, Evan makes brave furnishing choices and utilizing a vast array of materials and mediums. We recorded this episode over two separate sessions due to a clashing calendar, so I sincerely hope you enjoy listening to this wide-ranging conversation as much we enjoyed recording it!

Matt and business partner Dave created a wellness centre in Fitzroy North that puts service and results before profits. The results, and the people that are moving into the area to be near the gym, speak for themselves.

On this weeks program Chris talks to Tim Goldby about what he's been creating with The Bicycle Channel  and "encouraging cycling with entertainment and education", the character of Murphy Slaw, Australian bicycle infrastructure expert and his perspective on riding in Melbourne. Local news includes Lord Mayor Robert Doyle's kite-flying exercise about banning bicycle riders from particular streets in the CBD and how you can support the Yarra Council proposal to finally link up the Merri Creek shared path, which currents ends at Rushall station in Fitzroy North.
