This might be a stupid question but am new to developing.
My partner and I bought a parcel of land 600sqm for $235,000 all cash last year, current value is $300,000
house estimate is $130,000(we’ll use cash to build)
Houses in the area are selling for $475,000
what is our margin and how do we calculate it? Using current market value of land or…[Read more]landgrabber replied to the topic Can we afford it? in the forum Help Needed! 19 years, 3 months ago
From what I understand of it and I might be wrong, if after 3 properties with a value of $1,275,000 and mortgage of 780,000 you want to buy an additional 4th propery for 640,000, you might be stretching your finances too thin.

The focus is now on income with no debt obligations.

What you’re saying makes sense, unfortunately I already tapped into the equity for 250,000 for another non property business venture, but did eventually buy another IP this year for 480,000, with 160,000 down. Projected income from that will cover the mortgage and costs and possibly a little cash in hand. At this point total mortgages combined are…[Read more]
