    I’ve made a couple of bad investments – a development in Karratha and one in Port Hedland. Both are one bed apartments that took over 2 years to complete….. Key points:

    – I can sell both, gross loss of $200k – if I can sell, cost ~$275/wk gross
    – I can rent both at a combined gross loss of $650 per week at current market rates.
    – Unrented is gross $1,600 per week cost
    – one is in a unit trust / business structure so capital loss is quarantined there

    Leaning towards selling as cash flow is terrible. Only upside may be holding out for capital growth but it’s a long shot.Port expansions provide some upside during construction phase (when/if that happens).

    Anyone else in, or experienced a disaster like this? Any advice on loss minimisation would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Just saw your post about your properties in the Pilbara. Just wondering what you ended up doing? I have same problem with one property in Port Hedland. Thanks.
