All Topics / Help Needed! / Development investmentquerie
Hi all, I am a newcomer who happened to find the site and am very impressed. Am flying solo apart from all the information i have crammed in and this is my scenario.
I require Cash positive investment
Found a Development opportunity in Queensland asking price is $820k ( for an existing house and land with subdivision approval for 5 separate blocks + existing property )
Appraisal value is $1.35M
I have every indication that I can borrow $1million on this propertyNow there are many scenarios I have gone over but I believe my least risk option is to purchase and sell almost immediately the five vacant blocks @ aprox $850k ( and yes I have a potential buyer )
Not being overly familiar with the all the tax implications and the fact that I would want to sell immediately the capital gains issues.
This would leave me with a large home in an area with a rental vacancy rate less than 2% near all amenities with expected rental income of $350 – 400 per week ( I would like to provide gardens and maybe housekeeping, a way of protecting property due to the nature of expected renters )
So basically subject to finance and valuation.
Property valued at $1.35M
Borrow $1M
Asking price $820K
As far as I can ascertain closing costs in the vicinity of 60K with stamp duty / legalsPotential immediate sale of vacant blocks once i have ownership aprox $850K
Leaving me with a debt of aprox 150K and any other penalties taxes or whatever
and a potential rental income of $400 per weekMy safety net of $120k if all goes to hell in a bucket leaving me a 50 week breathing space (being able to repay loan until sales went through ) and if all goes to plan $120k to put to my next project.
Any advice and opinions gratefully apreciated

Hi RMK
Sounds like a good deal. Are you sure about the finance tho?
$1 mil borrowings on $1.35mil val = 75% LVR
Based on purchase price this would be 122% LVR.
Borrowing on value would be possible, but this LVR is rather high. I am not saying it would be impossible, but just wish to point out it will be rather rare to go this high.
good luck
