Yep plan to relax for a little while and go on a over due holiday. I’ll probably buy regional and this time go for cash flow instead of capital growth but something I can develop and renovate.

I’ll sit tight for a little while and watch what this insane market will do. No more negative geared property for me!
P.s I’m a registered builder…..and happy to sell.

So my plan is to flip some properties in melbourne for cash flow, these would be most likely be negatively geared anyway, and then…[Read more]

its also negatively geared and i feel it may hold me back even more, esp if the market stalls or goes backwards.
id really like to get into some flips and…[Read more]

Some people may say yay no maintenance, others will say looks cheap and what are they hiding underneath?
I guess it also depends on the type of house and which area it’s in, if it’s a cheap house in a cheap area probably wouldn’t be worth while, but if it’s a nice period…[Read more]

I’m trying to build a property portfolio and also get away from my work and get in to flips.

I’m big on trying to grow a property portfolio, but hearing so much negativity makes me wonder if I should sell my investment property on a corner block before I develop it in case the market swallows the gain I’ve made over the last 5 years . It’s been a negative geared property,…[Read more]
