I read this as the 1st is a standard IP and the 2nd was with EOS.

In some suburbs trees will be a deal breaker as council may not allow them to be removed at all. In some locations look out for mining activity and previous industrial use that may have left residue, former city dump etc The slope of the block is a key one, depending on whether it is...

Because it changes their risk profile for the lender and would constitute a significant change in circumstances, which is sure to be covered within their contract. Which lender is it and how can I get one? :)

Congrats Oscar, great news!!

Thanks a lot for your insights RV. We may not always like the outcomes, but it is invaluable to understand the perspective that a valuer has. Cheers, Matt

I wouldn't have thought you would require insurance on the land in advance of the builder starting work, unless your lender requires this. Once under construction the builders insurance policy will cover the site until handover.

Please confirm - are you the developer, or are you the one purchasing after the block is titled?

Great work Chomp! How much of the value do you think was from the market moving?

To get that kind of rent they probably have 4 bunk beds per bedroom.

Look forward to further details as it progresses :)

Investar actively discourage setting up these arrangements, so I'll have to pass. Thanks for thinking of me though. :) Cheers, Matt

I have heard that they can be difficult to finance as they aren't seen as standard houses. Worth talking to a broker from here about it first.

Find ideal development sites and approach the owner directly, to find a deal that works for both of you. Agents normally just get in the way and make it more difficult to find the best arrangement,especially if you want an extended due diligence period or option (which an agent is likely to...
