    Hi all,

    Looking for a new home over here at PC now that SS is closing down. Been a member since 2009.. and its because of SS that i started my Granny Flat journey.

    I've met some great people from SS over the years and glad to be able to call them friends.

    Bit about me:
    • I'm in my mid 30's, married, and have a beautiful 18 month old :)
    • Work in the Financial sector (nothing to do with Mortgage broking).
    My journey so far:
    • 2003 - House in Parramatta region $479k
    • 2007 - Unit (PPR) - $335k. Sold it in 2009 for $422k
    • 2010 - House (PPR) - $900
    • 2010 - Built a granny flat on existing IP ($130k)
    • 2012 - Built a granny flat on parents property (all theirs - i just designed and project managed)
    • 2013 - House in Ryde region ($710k) - Extended existing house and built granny flat. ($290k)
    Since then I've helped family and friends and secure properties.
    • 2013 - Duplex in Bankstown region - Purchase price was $475k. Before we settled, the other half of the duplex sold for $551k.
    • 2013 - Unit in Inner west region - Purchased at auction for $571k. In the same complex another unit had sold for $619k the same morning
    • 2014 - House in Northern beaches, listed as offers over $1.2m. Picked it up for $1.12m. Corner block with plans to put a granny flat on it shortly.
    • 2015 - House in inner west region - Purchase price of $1.1m.
    So what now? Thinking of buying Melbourne and/or Brisbane and replicating the same strategy, but i don't think they have similar rules to NSW for now.

    Looking forward to learning more from SS / PC members and moving onto to the next stage of my investment strategy - whatever that may be :)
