Ring the planning dep at HSC and ask to speak to someone. Be prepared to be put on hold and to have to leave a message. Find out whcih Ward of the council your land is in eg A,B,C. You need a copy of Council's Development…[Read more]

I will ensure that my development meets all requirements, meet with the town planners and explain to them that I happend to have friends in the planning department! lol. Perhaps mention Frank Sartor's name? Just kidding. But I do think the key is just to make sure everyhing complies and well. I will expect neighbours to…[Read more]

Not knowing your area I couldn't tell you how much you would make… the best way to find out is to look at other houses in your area and see how much new ones are going for. Then visit some project builders and get some quotes to build something similar to what is…[Read more]

I think I will look in to doing one of the courses recommended, but don't worry, it won't put me off doing something sooner rather than later either!Lucky

So… does this mean I should make within the LOC a sub-account for personal matters and a sub-account for investment purposes? Is this the best thing to do? And hey Richard…. you are so good.

We have also set up a line of credit with the intention of using this to fund our first purchase (as a deposit). We will then be looking at securing a construction loan as we have our eye on land that can be sudivided. Richard, I see you…[Read more]

I have no investment assets pretty much so got a score of 113 days. Which means I can only last until June! Yet I own a $600,000 house? Until now, my husband and I have not been brave enough to invest. But we are sooo ready now, just waiting on the next interest rate rise to see what it does to the market and then we…[Read more]

The investment property is a house with land. Got it for a good price and should make at least $50,000 on it when project is complete. Using line of credit to pay deposit, then a regular construction loan to build the house. I guess I…[Read more]

Why don't you build something on it first? If you sell, you lose half of what you make (dependent on your tax bracket) straight away which would be a waste. You could go to the bank and ask for a construction loan, build on the land and pay for the full thing at the end. Usually, after you build the property is worth…[Read more]
