    Thanks everyone for your comments. I think perhaps you are making things a lot more complicated than they need to be? My thoughts are to simply build a house to live in for maybe 12 months or so, then sell and repeat the process. I am simply looking at building up equity each time until we are debt free. For example, buy block of land for $300K…[Read more]

    This is where I am finding myself in some sort of dilemna. Can’t afford to keep the family home and buy another property to renovate, or build a new home. Have a reasonable amount of equity in the family home which will ideally be used as working capitol.

    Qualifying for finance may be an issue – you may be classed as an owner builder.

    Have a mate in finance who has advised that best strategy is to prepare a contract in company name to build for ourselves. The key point he has raised is to keep as much equity as possible to fund the build and use the banks money to purchase land…[Read more]

    Ashley,If it is not too much to ask do you intend to sell to investors and stay to rent your own house after sell each time or you sell with intention to move to rent elsewhere? Or any of the two depending on circumstances of PPoR sell?

    Hadn’t thought of the first option, but would consider it. I would have thought the second…[Read more]

    Ashley,I forgot to also ask. What kind of builder are you? Timber/steel frame carpenter builder or concrete or other types of blocks builder?

    Will probably stick with traditional lightweight construction – either timber or steel frame, and make sure the house suits the Qld climate, i.e. large alfresco area and open plan.
