If you let it

If you sell it

Choose your suburb or type a value and a rent to start.

An estimate, not advice. Rent and interest are both taxed as income; tax is left out here. Your bond is left out too: you'd settle it from the sale, or keep paying it while you let. Price growth is the suburb's trend since 2015 from registered sales: the past, not a promise. A tenant also brings work and risk; a sale brings certainty.
