Thx Art! Appreciate it.

I found a good link that showed me some roguh figures I should expect.

Thx for the info.

So I guess eventhough I don’t hold ownership of the property, but I still can ring up the council and they would let me know whether that address can be subdivided?
(Brisbane – $3500 app. wow, expensive, good to have some figures in mind, thanks)

I think I have found an answer to the second question I asked about building approvals. hehe

…

What do people think about Holiday Villages as an Investment?

I was browsing throught properties, there ‘s one up for around $35k.

Then I searched “holiday village” in google and found some existing ones charge around $70-100 per weekend and $30-$60 per weekday.

YES. CF+ cashflow

Now, the question is:
Do “holiday village” properties have any different regulations compared to normal houses / units / townhouses?

Vacany rates for these props could possibly be much higher. Solution: Find a company that is willing to sign a lease contract so that its employees can spend weekends there?
Possible to get a PM and find tenants? (are these kinds of prop treated like normal housing?)

Do “holiday village” properties grow in value like normal houses / units / townhouses do? Or they are just “special” properties?
