    My current situation –
    My annual Income – $160 K including Supperannuation and befoer tax . I am a Software Engineer
    My existing debt – Bought first home 1.5 years back with 85% loan, house cost was $400K.

    Current situation – I have a saving of $100 K. and I am considering buying another investment property of around $500-$600K.
    I am confused between a
    i) 3 BHK of approximately $550K
    ii) Shop in a developing shopping centre off the plan which I can lease later or use for my own business.
    iii) Shop in established Shopping centre of $450 K
    iv) Shop in small shopping centre of suburb around $280K.
    iv) Buy a block of land for around $200K and build it a 4BHK 2 storey house in next one year and sell.

    Thanks everyone in advance for your valuable suggestions

    that is like asking “what should I eat for dinner”

    It depends is the best answer.

    So many figures are missing to even begin considering the options. And then we’ll need to look at your specific situation.

    Long term or short term are two very different things. Many times the best long term option is the worst short term option so I suggest that you first decide strategy, then review, understand and hopefully strengthen your financial position, then the answer which of the options you mentioned would serve you best should be much clearer 😎

    Perhaps engage a broker or a financial planner?

    Hope this helps?

    Cheers,
    Ethan

    Too many variables – particular ones which are subjective. Terry has hit the nail on the head. :)

    One is easy to knock out though – you’re not likely going to have sufficient deposit for a commercial shop purchase for 450k out of those scenarios if you only have 100k available.

    Hi,

    I needed help not sarcasm. You could let me know what other information you needed to help me out in this particular scenario.

    Can you please tell me what could be the best option for short term.

    thanks

    Hey mate,

    Happy to help.

    Ok, let’s talk short term.

    Option iv is clear (buy land, build house, sell). What’s the plan regarding each of the other options? How do you plan to make a profit quickly with those ones?

    We’ll then be able to zoom into figures 👍😎

    Impossible to advise on such a general question. Best course of action may be to start reading as much as you can.
