Hi guys,
Long time reader of the forum, looking forward to contributing as I learn more about the property journey.
Trying to make up my mind whether to get a R40 block around Balga and sub divide for about 500k or buy near the beach at around 650k and rely on CG.
If Balga or surrounds I need to live in the existing house while I build out the back and then possibly move into the back town house, knock down the existing and build two more.
The other option I'm thinking about is buy into somewhere around Hillarys (as PPOR) and getting in at the bottom end of the market and adding value though bathroom, kitchen, yard renos etc.
I realise these are two different very different strategies
What are peoples thoughts, is Hillarys an area that will continue to build CG due to its location? Also from a lifestyle perspective Hillarys would be a much nicer place to live.
Is there still money to be made with the triplex sub divisions? There is a lot of conflicting reports out there, some say the market is flooded with too many villas. I'm very keen to get some experience with sub division and build but totally torn between the two options I'm faced with.
Thanks in advance.
