    Which Way To Go?
    I was wondering if anyone can help me decide where to start.
    I have a house on 30 acres just outside of Ballarat, Vic.
    I am in the middle of sub-dividing and will eventually sell off 3 x 5 acre blocks with a potential profit of $130,000.
    The sub-division will possibly take 12 months from start to finish, but I am so keen to start wrapping here in Ballarat NOW. I don’t know whether to wait until my blocks have sold or start now. I just want to start wrapping asap.
    My worry is financial. Will I be able to borrow money to finance my sub-division if I have other properties and my money is tied up in those properties? Any Ideas, Any suggestions???? [?]

    depends on your income levels but some groups will look at end value of aproject and finance to 75% of end value so you could possibly borrow against your subdivision to fund other projects

    Pebbles,

    How much money do you need to finance the sub division? Council application fees or do you need to put in services too?

    I can put you onto financiers who recently helped us with a 25 block subdivision in southern NSW.

    As to whether you will be able to do both at the same time is a hard question with no detailed info.

    If you have a great income then no problems and if you have no income then it will be harder….. I suspect you are somewhere in between [:)]

    Good luck with it.

    Have you thought about keeping those blocks?

    Exploring Terry’s idea further perhaps you could build on them and realise a higher profit or keep them as rental properties?

    Terry,
    Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have thought about keeping the blocks and maybe borrowing against them to finance some investment properties or even selling them as house and land packages. I think I need to sit down with a professional and discuss all the options and find out which way is the best way.
    Maybe I will have to do some serious number crunching as well.
    Thanks again.
