    If you have a PPOR that you own & have enough equity to buy 2 IP’s one to keep as rental, the other to renovate then sell to lower mortgage over PPOR. Would this be a good way to get started? Does your rental income just go off your PPOR mortgage until you can transfer the security to your IP?

    Thanks to everyone for your stories so far. Is it best to use the equity in your own home or have full mortgage over the IP?

    I suppose it depends on what you are looking to achieve& for what purpose you use your vehicle.
    If you have reached a goal that you have strived for, put in a LOT of hard work,got your next project in motion & have funds left over then it’s ok to spoil yourself sometimes!
    Definately not about looking rich…

    Hi Matt,
    I am building through alocal builder in Qld- I’m guessing you are in NSW? so not sure if this is any help.
    This is the 2nd house(more to come)he has built for us. We measure in sqm here, the house we are having built is 129sqm + 6×3 patio for $130,000 with FULL inclusions that is also with stainless steel fans in every room
    ” ” downlights throughout
    ” ” appliances
    carpet to bedrooms
    tiles to all living areas
    screens
    blinds… the list goes on
    There is no landscaping included as we love to do that ourselves.
    In my experience, unless your building yourself, your better off sticking with local respected builders -not companies as you cut out a lot of commission $$$
    Hope this is of interest

    Does any one else have any advise about getting started, I haven’t any Investment properties at the moment but intend on that changing very soon. About 5yrs ago I had a bad experience with my very first investment prop. Tenant wasn’t paying rent had to fire leasing agent, hire another in order to take tenant to court to have her evicted. House was left totally trashed,we lost 3+ mths rent had to re-do all the floors, the clean-up was horrific. The bond was a joke!
    As you can imagine, we were totally put off & sold the property, wouldn’t you know it… then came the boom. Only just now looking to get back in the game.
    Advise anyone??

    I should of been more specific, he has the money, owns house removal business but has never done any speckies for himself- has no knowledge of paper work involved- Engineering, council, so on. Therefore no experience. Although he owns some IP they sit idle as he doesn’t have the knowledge or time to invest. He is only now looking to Realestate for income & profit.

    Thanks for your reply, MH, the investment partner in question is my husbands boss of 10yrs who has his finger in the pie when it comes to Removal homes & already owns substantial amount of real estate so there is a lot of trust there already. Do you know much about the legal side of it, any advise?
