some interesting points here..may i just say that Mark C becomes nominated for the "balls of steel award"? how did you go from 4 units to high rise in the gold coast and beyond??
my only piece of advice is to start small..it gives you a chance to get your toes wet before diving in..build up your wealth by accumulating your units your developing..sell off what you need to, to pay off the debt.. then it just snowballs from there..
anyway it worked for me..
Balls of steel.. Ha Ha He He That’s a crackup.
I have to clarify the development on the Gold Coast is a 102 lot community title. Mix of 58 stand alone houses and 44 duplexes. I go unconditional on the site 4:30pm this afternoon (fingers crossed). I will provide more detail later on this one.
At this stage I don't intend on getting involved with high rise, seems too boring just replicating floor after floor.
Sue78 raises an excellent point, why do these things?
For me I like challenges, I like pushing myself, I love being creative. I have been able to accomplish things I never thought possible. Not knowing the answers to do something is no reason not to do it.
eg. I put a contract on a house last year, at the time I neither had the finances to pay the deposit or the cashflow to service the loan. I had 6 months to settle, ie. I had 6 months to find enough cash for a deposit and an income to service the loan. I now live in the house and pay the loan every month.
