I guess my previous post was a bit confusing. You can see I am new to this. My rental house is on 2 titles. I am hoping to either sell off the other block or perhaps build units or a house. I have made enquiries with the council and it appears I don't have to do much except provide a carport and space for 2 cars on the land where the house stands as the other block has a double steel garage that could either be removed or left on the block if a buyer wants it. I must admit to being a bit suspicious about the advice as it seems all too simple? Do not even have to erect a fence! The council officer told me all that had to be done was to have the 2 titles "split off the deed." I have no idea what this means and made further enquiries with the state titles office and they could not tell me what it means either. Perhaps my accountant. ?
I was hoping someone may have some ideas on which would provide a better income, selling the block or building on it myself?
Thanks again
samjamesThanks for the advice – much appreciated.

Thanks jaffasoft for your reply. I have heard from another investor that 8.8% plus GST is high. The property I am worried about is handled by an agent who hasn’t given me a lot of faith in them – whe I bought the unit I gave it to them to manage and they didn’t pick up that the tenant had given notice (even though they were the selling agent – a good lesson for me NEVER to assume) so it wasn’t advertised as available unitl the tenant had moved out. They then told me it was advertised on 2 sites but when I looked they were not on there and I had to notify them!!?? Then I had to drop the rent because of no tenant and they found a tenant and I asked for confirmation when the lease was signed but no response. Communication quite frightening. I just don’t feel at ease. Whilst their management fees are low I am wondering if it is worth it ?
Thanks againHi
Am new to contributing to the forums as I have never really have any great input as yet and quite inexperienced in investing but your comments about inveting in a mining town caught my attention. I was considering seriously investing in a mining town that was showing good returns but saw on another forum that suggested “never” to invest in a town with only one industry??? Confused now??Paulette

Hi
I’m hoping for some advice on whether to use the $23,000 I have saved to buy a place to live in or buy an investment property. I am in my 50’s and due to circumstances do not own any property any more and only have my savings. I earn $47,000 a year and really need to start building my finances. As I share rent, it costs me about $300 week for rent and living expenses. ??
Thanks

samjamescan someone help? I was hoping to invest in my first property soon after finishing my readings and educationg myself a lot more. Now I will have to pay a higher rent than I am previously paying myself and wonder if it would be better to use some of my savings (around $23,000) to put a deposit on a place of my own (looking at around $180,000)??
Steve suggests in his home study guide to find an investment partner. Is there anyone who live near the Gold Coast interested in joining my on the journey?
Thanks
