Just thought I’d share this recent experience with the forum. A bit about me, I’m a mechanical engineer working in the construction industry dealing with builders and contractors every day, so I thought I had a good understanding of the industry and had all my bases covered. But it might appear that he’s a wolf in sheep clothing.

I currently own a house. I am in the process of getting my construction documents ready to build a duplex in its place. Rather than demolish the house, I would like to salvage the structure and relocate it to another site. To do this, I need to obtain planning permission at the new site. I am looking for someone on this…[Read more]

Regarding IO repayments, doesn't a lender expect that the principal would be paid off within a certain term? We cannot pay IO for the duration of our lives, or can we?

Thanks for the welcome. It would be great to catch up with you for a coffee next time you're in Sydney. I've picked up a few basic things on property investing through free seminars and online research.

To start with, I want to get a property that can look after itself after all costs have been taken into consideration. CF+ and cap growth would be a positive too. Then leverage that property to get the next one and so on. Once I have sufficient cashflow to free up my time, I will start focusing on reno's and then developments.
