If you can buy a house for $270k and it would be worth $310k giving you a $40k profit, I couldn’t buy it fast enough. $40k is a years income for some and is hard to save that money from a job. I think you could buy it move in for the reqired…[Read more]

I could think of heaps of areas to do similar deals, it could be a great money spinner for you. You need to do a lot of work for your $$ but I asume it will be very worth while.

Would you have capital gains tax? have you had much growth in your houses. you could sell you block.

another alternative if there is too much tax from selling your neg geared houses, is to sell your home tax free and move into one of the negative geared houses.
