Thanks for all your help everybody especially depreciator. I’m tending to think that the self contained flat might be the way to go as the block may be slightly small to subdivide. Howvever I will check out both possibilities.

I am excited about the Sydney visitor idea as I had a similar thought a few weeks ago but discounted it because I thought there may not be much interest out there. With Enmore theatre just down the road from us it could well be a winner and would certainly be a good use for a piece of land at the back of my property that is just growing weeds.

Does anybody know if there are any kit home builders for granny flats/self contained units as I looked into building something there about a year ago and was told by an architect in the area that builders were charging exhorbitant fees e.g. $150-$200K for a 50sqmtr property. I didn’t believe him but he assured me that that was the going rate!

Hi Sooshie,

I believe it was the old ‘Buy it now carrot’ that works so well in all businesses []. There was a discount if you put your money down on the night. This is fair enough though, as I was given the option of cancelling the next day if I wanted to.

I guess it’s a bit like wraps – if you don’t get any money from the prospect in the form of a deposit or “document preparation fee” than they can be talked out of the deal and weren’t really committed in the first place.

I’m looking at index option trading with this guy because he has very good testimonials and he doesn’t promise exhorbitant returns – average will be about 3% a month (with low risk) which is pretty good in my book. I want something that will bring in the bacon while I am property investing as I am looking to eventually get out of my current job.
