i envisaged building my ppor , we purchased one of the old burnt out blocks in chapman canberra after the fires , we purchased it for $450k UCV 460 ish and the block size is close to 1800m2 views to belconnen and the city, i have been building this home for 5 years it was one of those grand desighn type of jeorneys, the home is now 700m2 6 car garage and done and dusted for 1.5m, i sheeted , plastered , framed trussed, preped the steel works for the concreters , ran wires and fitted off the wet areas , built the kitchen , rendered , roofed , tiled ,built a pool ,paved painted , well just about every thing, the ucv is now at 700k and the exchange has gone throgh this week ,
47,000 bricks in this home , and 15,000 in the garden i laid m,self.
went through a buisiness partner on the way, done the GFC, and have now seen a war and two sonamies , the share markets have gone up and down twice now, we sold due to the mortgage p/ments costing me 7k + a month, alot of months have gone by and every single one of them was tight and stressfull, every one, so the results are we will move and now own our home , start the IP portfolio, free of personal debt with a combined income of 240k PA, beetween my wife and i, the debt relese is great, would have loved to stay here , but by steping back " one step" it will allow us now to actually leap forward.
This was a massive massive home we loved it and we will always look back and admire the challanges , some on here have seen it , and now its gone,
