    Hey All,

    Thought I would introduce myself, have already participated in a few threads so far, great forum you have here :)

    I'm 29 from Newcastle, NSW currently working as a Coal Sampler/Coal Quality Tester/Play in Black Dirt and have been in two jobs over the past 11 years in the same industry.

    Purchased my first IP at 19 on a corner block with thoughts to subdivision in the future, the travel bug hit me after buying and mainly used the single IP as a negatively geared asset for tax minimisation purposes while I went about living life.

    About three years ago I embarked on my development journey and met with hurdle after hurdle but am finally starting to make headway!

    So yeah, any questions, fire away!

    Regards,
    Arc

    Hi Arc
    You did good starting early.
    And living life is part of living life, isn't it ;)
    What's your next step planned now ?

    Nothing wrong with traveling - best thing I did in my younger days.

    Cheers

    Thanks, I think so too, have lived here for the majority of my Childhood also.

    Near the railway, then down Thomas Coke Drive then in Somerset.

    I'm in Somerset. Built 12 years ago. It certainly has changed a lot since then. I would love to buy in Chisholm, but we will see.

    I wish I had your knowledge when I was 19. You certainly have set yourself up. All the best

    Looks like a beautiful old house there at 23 Railway Avenue Thornton. So much new stock available around there with all those land releases though but nice old place looking at the photos. Is that near you @Archaon ?
