    I don’t know if I should buy a block of land to sit on until I am in a better financial position to build . ( recently divorced , credit rating ruined for five years). Should I buy a flat and rent it out. I am renting and working part time.

    A block of land won’t generate an income so unless it’s going to appreciate in value – it might not be a good investment.

    Cheers

    Agree with Jamie.

    Wouldn’t buy vacant land but look at a cheaper property with some element of gearing.

    Make sure whatever you buy generates at least $200 / week as the cost of repairing an oven or a stove is the same for a $150K property as it is for one costing $300K.

    Big difference is at $150K it might be 3 weeks rent whereas at $300K it might only be 1 week.

    Cheers

    Tracey, have you looked into Steve’s McKnight Property Apprenticeship course? Whether it’s his training or someone else’s, I’d suggest educating yourself. Private message me and we can set up a complementary mentoring call to discuss your situation and your options moving forward.
