How to split utility bills etc – could get messy but I am sure it is done and is not the end of the world.

I would love to be wrong on this. Where could I find out more info on the rules for granny flats in my area? Local council?

Also are there any special conditions that apply to the sale of a…[Read more]

If putting in tenants, you may need to consider shared services – power, water etc.

I believe the permits expire (i.e. when granny goes, so does the dwelling). But you probably know this.

With option 1 you need to…[Read more]

Long story short I was told by a number of sources that a property that I purchased (900sqm) that it cocould fit in a unit at the rear. All made sense and I purchased the place. To my disappointment (i.e. stupidity) I only…[Read more]

Returns of $100k+ net after all expenses, it just doesn't make sense to me – yes I am skeptical about dropping $25k with such promises. The 3 hour sales pitch left more questions than answers.

Well done and thanks for sharing. By the sounds of it, your strategy has been topping up your PPOR as your primary goal right? 

No doubt you have quite a bit of equity in this place. Why not get another property to increase your cash flow?
Best of luck mate.
