Evening all,
First time poster and short term reader looking for some advice/reassurance from forum experts. Think I know what the answer is but appreciate any comments.
Current Situation
Inner city house ($550K), large mortgage ($290K), wife hasn't returned to work after having 2 children (but is planning to in the next 12 months part time). Mortgage going nowhere fast. No other investments, mid 30's age bracket.
Option 1
Sell house, take equity, move further out and become more proactive in making money through RE. Thinking of buying a 32p splitter, subdividing, selling off vacant block etc and owning house on adjacent 16p. Start investment portfolio.
Option 2
Stay in house, struggle with mortgage but have significant equity in several years time, but no room for other investments.
Interested in peoples thoughts.
Thanks
H
