Most investors budget for the deposit, the mortgage, and maybe a bit of maintenance — but it’s the hidden costs that blindside them and eat away at their returns.
In this episode of Passive with Property, Dragan Dimovski and Amanda Calabria from Buyers Agency Australia break down the unexpected, unseen, and often overlooked costs of property investing — and how to prepare for them before they catch you off guard.
From council rates and strata levies, to insurance gaps, vacancy periods, and surprise repairs, every property comes with expenses most investors underestimate. Knowing what’s coming is the difference between a cashflow crunch and a portfolio that thrives.
✅ The most common hidden costs that derail property investors
✅ How to budget smartly and build buffers into your strategy
✅ Practical steps to protect your cashflow and avoid nasty surprises
