    Hi,

    If you could get $1,000,000 loan and you had 400k deposit, where/what would you buy in Sydney and why?

    Thanks in advance.

    I won't buy in Sydney... too hot at the moment. Have you considered other states?

    For me, I would buy a property on a subdivisible land in upper north shore area, say Wahroonga, Waitara, Hornsby, Normanhurst, Asquith etc.

    A fire dragon shouldn't be afraid of "hot" market ;)

    Yes, I have considered Melbourne. But that will be after this one in Sydney.

    400k deposit? Sounds like a development site deposit. I wouldn't be buying any standard Ip with a 400k deposit. Especially if you want to build a portfolio asap and grow wealth fast.

    2 houses in a middle ring Brisbane suburb north or south
    Possibly 3 townhouses or 2 bed room units.

    How do you calculate yield on a PPOR? ;)

    (I'm going to gracefully bow out of this thread, as I have nothing constructive to add).

    Yes, that's what I am thinking.
    Subdivide, build, and then grannies on two blocks.

    Yeah I am not sure what your trying to do. If you have 400k cash/equity, and you want to build a portfolio and buy a ppor, then buy a modest ppor and use the rest for a couple of deposits to buy IPs in brissy or wherever you think is good to buy as @HUGH72 suggested.

    If you want to build wealth, I would ditch the granny. Buy a modest ppor, then break up the rest of the money into smaller deposits to buy 2-3 ips. Keep it simple.

    Many people make money from PPOR play.

    You don't need to live in the whole space.

    My first PPOR was 2/3 yield, also 2/3 tax deductible.

    You could add the granny's, and the rent can pay your mortgage. Or you could subdivided build duplex, live in one side and rent the other.
    Or sell the other - and use the profit to go nearer to pay off your PPOR.
    Then later before the market improves take an equity loan against that PPOR and invest like crazy.

    Would love to have a spare 400k :)
