Hey all,
Ive always lurked on the forums and have found it very informative.
My current situation is i have 250k deposit and am pre approved for 920k on the condition i can bring in atleast 2800 a month rent.
I have found a property here http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-beacon+hill-107129219 which I am just about to secure for 790k.
I plan to remove the stairs and seal the hole, create a third bedroom upstairs (not really upstairs because there wont be stairs there anymore), and throw in a kitchen where the minibar is downstairs and rent down and upstairs for hopefully 500 and 550 a week.
Downstairs will be offered with 2 car external garage, garden, spa, bbq area. Upstairs will have a 3 carport with either no or share yard access
I will be borrowing approx 600k when you throw in renovations and stamp duty and the repayments will be around 1000 a week.
I will either live up or downstairs or rent a unit for around 400 a week.
Before I commit id like to get some opinions and to see if people think
a) this is good value even though its on a main road
b) expected rental returns are in the range people will pay
c) is there something ive missed
Im keen to go ahead with this so I would like to here some opinions of some people with more knowledge than myself.
