Hey kelliei have been looking at Glenroy. Out of control! Cant get a 600sqm block for under $450k. By the time i will be ready to buy, it will be way above that again. Also rents do not match the buying price from my research. For $350 might have to step out to cambellfield or Broadmeadows, which suprisingly has done very well in CG in the last co…[Read more]

thanks for that info christian. im am going to continue looking into it. might speak to a town planner to see what the process and cost would be going with them. do you recommend a town planner to organise this process?

thanks for the advice. i have got a quote from a company saying it will cost approx 30k for subdivision, architect plans drawn up for a 2 bedroom unit, all permits, the whole works. so right up to the point where i can sell it to a builder ready to go. i will have to provide utilities like power , sewerage and water which will cost about 5k max i…[Read more]

i am aiming to buy IP 2 close to these areas. even if i have to go to glenroy side, that will be ok. But my PPOR will hopefully be in the essendon area. Its going to be hard work, but that is the goal.

hey wealthyjvd,i am in exactly the same position as you in the same area. i bought IP in airport west and want to settle down in essendon strathmore area also. i am 24 and have been trying to work out how to go about getting IP2 also. i have decided i want to get number 2 before getting my house to live in. i find thats the only way to be able to…[Read more]

Duckster,your example above is the same recommended by my mortgage broker in order to buy my second IP also.From all the info on this site, i thought it was a huge mistake to join both properties together as security? If that is the only way possible in order to buy the second IP, is it still worth doing or would it be better to wait.

OK that promising seeing that we can have two separate loans combined into one. so together we will be liable for the whole amount of the loan. that clears up a few doubts i had.Thank you very much for the information guys.

hey terry,sorry to read your reply after so long. been overseas and been a while since ive been on this site.thanks for your info. I havent talked to a lawyer or mortgage broker yet, just wanted to gather my personal info before i get to the next stage. I know i was vague in my initial post, but If i buy the property to renovate as my ppor, doesnt…[Read more]

ok thanks everyone for your help. i have got in contact with a builder and he says would probably be looking at approx 100k. might also have problems getting permit from what he sees as there are no 2 story houses in the street. there must be a reason for that. might look to do a nice reno inside instead. thanks again

hey jazz77when u say "There are no payments to be made during the course of the construction" does that still mean the interest payments on the development loan have to be made? sorry if it sounds like a silly question. Also what are the requirements to otaining a building licence? So for example would i need a building licence to construct 2…[Read more]

great thanks dan.

This sounds incredible. just to clarify, when would you recieve the 50% tax deduction? For example at the time of purchasing a vehicle or at the end of tax year?

sorry, i should have created a new topic. i am new to this. sorry about that
