Email just sent, thanks!

Can I send you an email with details?? My understand in from my broker was that the properties were not crossed!! That was something we didn't want in the first place.

Profession is veterinarian and existing lender is NAB PPOR is IO loan with offset account IP 1 is IO loan~105% of purchase price- 80%LVR and the remaining 25% was paid with equity release from PPOR and packaged into another loan for tax deductability. However, based on recent valuations on...

Hi all, it's been a long time since I last posted. We got our permit for our subdivision but sold the property with the permit due to circumstances at the time. No regrets though as it got us into our PPOR in a desirable location for schools, transport etc and I believe long term, great capital...

Hi, just wondering if anyone has used NPA property investment group to help them to source an investment property and help to guide them on their investment journey? Any feedback would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Looking for an IP, preferably cash flow neutral/positive. Have a young family so don't really want to over stretch ourselves too much.

Hi all, would love to hear your views on Ballarat? We are looking to invest and it was mentioned by a friend that the prospects there were quite good, with good rental yields and lots of government projects pumping money into the local economy. Which are the better areas to look at? Our budget...

Thanks Sanj. We will certainly look further into it. Just judging on what has already been done just 5 houses along the same street, we are fairly confident it can be done but of course, will do our due diigence. Thanks once again for all the replies, good support here guys :)

Well, not sure if the visit to the council was that fruitful but it did help us in a way. We will probably have to set back the houses a bit more but that is easily done as hubby can tweak the drawings as required. Also our modern facades are probably not in line with the neighbouring houses so...

Yeah...that is why we just want to have a chat with the planner first before taking it too much further...cos if its not feasible, there's no point proceeding much further. However, if there is a fair chance it can go through, then we will have a in depth talk with the accountant and see what...

Hi Evshaun, We will be meeting the planners tomorrow. You can go and have a chat without making an appointment as a starting point. My husband has done up some preliminary plans and drawings and we will see what they say. We will have to demolish our home as we don't have the luxury of a huge...

Thanks Aaron C :). If all things line up, we'll go ahead..quite exciting really

So is my estimate too high or just about there?? I mean, we aren;t aiming for the top notch finishes etc but more towards, the better quality/durable/practical finishes though

Box Hill North, good quality build with a master builder that hubby has worked with before and was impressed with, haven't gotten proper quotes yet though. We will go meet the planner on wed and take it from there.

Lucky thing is hubby is an architect himself (so will be saving lots on those fees anyways), so is already doing up preliminary drawings, guess we just need to ring council and make an appt with a planner to see if this is even feasible within their planning regulations and if so, will start...
