cross roads – which way – has any one done this

I have started my research in country vic ..

so far so good

thanks for all your advise 

jamie , richard  and others

but after speaking to friends and family — hit a dead end

i will keep it breif

my scenario :

have a ppor ( pi loan )

goals/would like to do ( in next 5-7 years )

acquire 2 ip's ( less than 200 K – as that the max i can afford – considering everything )

continue to pay off ppor

i have to move overseas after 5-7 years ( family reasons ) and will be visiting here

generate a passive income cash flow into my bank account

of 2000/month

SO BASICALLY LOOKING FOR IP'S WHICH CAN PAY THEMSELVES( and positive cash flow by the time I move ) AND RENT OUT PPOR BY THE TIME I move

if needed ( to settle down overseas) sell my ppor or one of my IP and transfer the monies to my overseas account

my questions

I have been discussing this my close mates – there are two sides of this coin

some say – why the hassle of buying here and moving there when ur final destination is overseas ( India)

they say I will loose heaps during transaction ( If i sell the prop here )

Instead buy there ( India ) and much less headache

pros and cons of buying there

rental yeild : very very less ( u can forget about it)

but good CG

the other side of coin says : go ahead with ur plan and take advantage of currency division

has any one done this

need some good advise so that I can start

the point is to generate that passive income of 2000/month ( just simply cant start right from the scrambles after I move to overseas – 2000 would help to settle down )

can I achieve my target by looking at other avenues – other than prop – If so what are they

all ears

thanks heaps once again
