I can only give you an opinion on your Q1.

What you would have to look at is:
Where are you buying the land??

Because where I live( S.E. Qld) land is astonomical. Building costs are going up every day and getting tradesman esp. brickies and carpenters so hard you may have to wait for these trades up to 6 mths. Blow out your…[Read more]

Say you want to sell for 250k.
