Thanks,

I did think about going up on the house but it is going to be too expensive, I haven't got the $150k + to do that. It is on steel poles though so could potentially fill in underneath a lot cheaper than that and there is dual street access so there is also the potential to do a duel occupancy set up with the 2 bed rooms up the top and maybe another 2 or 3 below but having said that I still don't have the money for that either at the moment so the question is I guess is as they stand what has more potential for capital growth?

Also I agree that having the unit above kinda sucks but there is scope to buy that down the track and so would leave us with either a 7 bedroom house next to the beach or 2 units…

Also Tim its not that we would hate to live in the unit and infact I think it would be fun living on the beach its just not as nice as the house but I appreciate what you are saying

Keep the advice coming, decision time is near…
