Dear All,
I am in the process of selecting a house plan for my new property. After considerable investigation, I have come to the last two options: A - an expensive house ($185k building), B - a cheap house ($165k).
I have some concerns about the location. It is a nice traditional block (18 x 30), but it is next to a HOMEwest block. All are in a new development area. I rang the government what they are going to do. They told me that they would build it and rent to their tenants. I have seen or heard a lot of stories about those homewest tenants (I am not against them. Some are very good). They take advantage of government housing. Do not look after the property and running around like wild. I am not sure whether I am likely or not to have nice homewest tenants.
Obviously, if the homewest tenants are not good, it will significantly affect my house value. In theory, I should go the cheap version, but I do like the expensive version because of the things I wanted.
Any advice / experience please!!!
