A certain suburb I am looking at is currently zoned R 12.5 (1.25 homes per
1000sqm). There is a draft re-zoning current for a particular section of
this suburb that would change the zoning to R 25 (2.5 homes per 1000sqm).
Re-zoning is expected in about 18 months. 3 bedroom homes on 800-900sqm in
this section can be bought for around $120,000. New home blocks of around
400-500sqm can be bought in this suburb for around $50-60,000. Rents for 3
bedroom homes start at around $150\week, which by my reckoning, means each
property bought at $120,000 would cost me around $12 per week at current
interest rates to keep before tax.
The way I see it, my risks are:
Keeping the houses for 18 months only to find there has been a community
revolt against re-zoning and it not going ahead.
The property market taking a downturn (falling values), interest rates
rising and my cashflow taking a big hit
My benefits would be:
Re-zoning goes ahead, properties with lot sizes > 800sqm are now
sub-divisable, all houses that fit this criteria lift in value (by how
much???)
Houses could be rented as-is, but with a special condition that allows
sub-division to occur and a fence to be erected in back yard
Rear blocks could be sold off for around $50,000 after costs.
Would anyone with experience at this care to comment on the viability of
doing this.
Regards
Glenn
