Hi, I have built 3 townhouses but will not be selling them for 12 months due to tax reasons.

The Subdivision application has gone in and not been finalized because I haven’t paid the open space contribution.

Council has agreed I can pay it off by Aug-21 (it’s nearly 40k).

This gives me 6 months to make monthly repayments which makes it easier…[Read more]

Hi Folks

Upon inspecting the property built, it was discovered that the floor in the living room upstairs is uneven.

The builder wants me to settle as is and they say if it’s a structural issue they will fix it as part of their warranty.

Hi folks hope you’re all doing great.

Do you have a property development/investment feasibility worksheet you could share please?

I want to work out a new build cost and potential returns, tax considerations, etc.

Thanks!

Hi All,

After acquiring land in 2015, and going through a painful process to get 3 townhouses approved and building them in the South Eastern Side of Melbourne, I am happy to say they’re nearing completion – driveway and landscaping remaining.

I have a 1.48M loan for the e2e cost sofar.

The intention was to keep all 3 and rent them out. But…[Read more]

Hi,
I am building 3 x townhouses in Melbourne.
I have been sent a building contract.
Is there a property lawyer that I should get to review this or should I read it myself?
Anyone have any experience with these so I can make sure I am not bitten in the backside?
Never done any building before so not sure what I should do next.
Any advice,…[Read more]

The townhouses are all quite large homes – 1x3BR and 2x4BR.

I need some help on a couple of things here if you will:

Hi,
After two years, I have finally had council approve three townhouses.
It took this long because there are some trees that needed to be protected and they weren’t happy with any proposal until recently. Anyhow it took long but it is done now.

I want to know what it will cost to build these three townhouses, but am told I need to first spend…[Read more]

I have recently bought an old property which is rented currently. The idea is to knock it down and build 4 townhouses on it. I have engaged a company to manage this for me end-to-end for a fee.

I have some money in my offset account.

Is there an accountant or a wealth advisor on the best strategy to adopt in terms of what to do with my money…[Read more]
