Navigating the property investment world can be quite the challenge, but knowing your real estate equity is essential. Equity, which is simply the difference between a property’s current market value and the debt owed on it, is a key indicator of an investment’s health.

On the property tank dashboard you can monitor the equity position and LVR of your total portfolio, as well as the equity of each portfolio and individual property to ensure complete oversight.

Where do the figures come from?

TaxTank uses a straightforward two-part method to streamline the whole process:

Live Bank Feeds

With Property Tank, syncing up loan accounts directly from your bank to your properties is a breeze. When you link your loans to specific properties, you can specify what percentage of the loan each property carries. This setup is key for pinpointing exactly how much debt is tied to each property, making your equity figures accurate. Plus, it updates in real time, so you're always working with the latest numbers.

Growth Forecast

For a peek into the future, Property Tank uses historical growth rates from CoreLogic to sketch out potential property value increases over the next decade. These forecasts are visualised in an easy-to-understand equity forecast graph that updates yearly. But if you’ve got fresh appraisal or valuation data, you can update your property market value manually from the equity tab to keep your projections spot-on.
