    Wife and I are both 32, have 2 properties and are planning the next step.

    Goal: retire in 25 years with 200k+ income and purchase our dream home (1-2 million).

    My wage 100k wife’s 72k

    Current properties:

    3/1/1 Villa in Penrith loan $175k valued 550-600k (living in it)

    2/1/1 Villa in Orange NSW loan 290k valued 390k rented $310pw (could be 350pw in current market but have a great tennant)

    We are looking at selling the Penrith Villa and investing in dual occupancy regional NSW with less than 1% vacancy rates and do this 3-5 times. Properties I have been looking into would cost approx 700k 4/2/2 $490 + 1/1 $300pw and pay all costs including P&I plus 2-5k left over.

    We would look to have kids in the next couple of years so might drop down to my income only (my income will probably rise by $5k every year) hence why I am focused on cash flow.

    Your plan doesn’t sound too appealing to me. Where would you live?

    I would rent, my job provides rental assistance so I could live in a $650pw 4/2/2 house with a pool and more land for $300pw out of my pocket vs a PPoR 3 bed villa.

    Not to mention living in a PPoR would kill my borrowing capacity.

    I forgot we are not planning on living in Penrith/Sydney long term so not looking for dream home.

    Your plan doesn’t sound too appealing to me. Where would you live?

    Any suggestions on a more appealing plan?

    Look at keeping the penrith property and borrowing against it to invest. If you think property is a good investment consider something you can add value to. You can to get high growth if possible. Buy and hold just takes too long.

    I would consider keeping the Penrith property and borrow against it as @terryw suggested.

    Speak with a broker who understands property investment loan structuring first up to see whats possible.
