Thanks for your input so far by the way – very much aprpeciated.
My back of the envelope workin-out worked out at about $200 a week after tax, so that seems to marry up. I can live with that no problem.
In talking about goals – I guess ours is to be in the house we want in 5 years with a small a mortgage as possible. Long term I dont expect to have any financial problems.
I would be hesitent to sell where we are now for a number of reasons. #1 the market where we are is not great at the moment. #2. Its a great house for us right now – just in the wrong spot (VERY convienient spot, just not where we want to live). #3. We have spent a reasonable amount of money renovating and extending the current property, doing all the work myself with the intension of staying there for a while.
Whats to stop someone, with say $400k equity in the place we have now, and with a decent yearly income, just buying 2 or 3 places right now. Maybe the one in Bulli, and another with better returns solely as an investment?
