What would you buy? A new property or old one that needs renovation.

    Hi,
    I am confused and need help tomake decision. I have got an investment property. I want to buy IP. I saw 2 new villas and one old property. If I buy old one for $400K and spend about $25K for renovation, I can rent it out for $400 per week. If I buy 2 new IPs for $750K, I can get $ 350 for each. Can you please do some maths+add your experience and advice me which option is better if We consider rent, tax benifit, depreciation etc.
    Thanks.

    Either option could work, I guess, but I don't know that the returns on either look particularly impressive straight up.

    What's your strategy; how do you plan to make a profit from your investing...?
