Hi,
I do have a client who wants to retire in about 9 yrs time.
They have one owner occupied property and one investment property.
They have about $100K in equity to play with and plenty serviceability (serviceability actually is not an issue at all).
They have the following 2 plans:
Plan A
Step1: Purchase a property with development potential in the Melbourne bayside suburbs of either Hampton, Highett, Cheltenham, Mentone or Parkdale for about $600K at 95% LVR
Step2: Subdivide and get plans and permits in place
Step 3a: Sell as is with plans and permits or
Step 3b: Develop and hold; access equity
Step 4: Sell current owner occupied property and purchase new owner occupied property in Mornington (this is where they want to move to in retirement)
or
Plan B
Step1: Purchase a property with development potential in the Melbourne bayside suburbs of Mornington for about $400K at 95% LVR and purchase a nice 2BR unit/twonhouse for about $200K also at 95% LVR in Frankston area (should benefit from EastLink and Marina); alternatively this one could also be in the Heathmont, Mitcham, Ringwood area (close to Eastlink as well)
Step2: Subdivide and get plans and permits in place
Step 3a: Sell as is with plans and permits or
Step 3b: Develop and hold; access equity
Step 4: Sell current owner occupied property and purchase new owner occupied property in Mornington (this is where they want to move to in retirement)
What is your expert opinion on these 2 plans?
Obviously they'll be getting the finance through me
Thanks for your help and Happy Easter
