A few weeks back, while enjoying a summer bbq, a pair sought my opinion about a property transaction they were contemplating.

Basically, they wanted to make more use of an adversely geared block of land they'd acquired with the view to potentially building on it.

After asking some light leading questions, it became clear the home they lived in now was bought on a rather flimsy basis. That is, they acquired it at auction after one 20 minute property inspection and now, with 2 property money flow crocodiles to feed, and 2 children to clothe, and on one salary, it was becoming more complicated.

This side of the property investment is being debated first as it is the most important standards. It is important that you're employed with right bunch of pros who can help you arrange the best balance of finances.

The first point I made was to show how the ‘easy come, simple go ‘ approach to investing regularly loses money. Indeed, their home was bought 3 years ago and hadn't increased in worth since. Factoring in interest, possession and transaction costs, they have been unprofitable.

In working through the chances, it seemed the best option may be to sell the prevailing home at a total loss and build a new home on the land – possibily a duplex where one may be sold foe profit (to pay off the loan) and the other kept as the new home.

The conversation then went around in circles as the hubby and wife debated what they could do. In the end they concluded that this was all a bit too hard so it would be better to do nothing.

Shrugging my shoulders, I wished them all the best and went to follow up some more salad. As I walked away I could not help thinking ‘nothing is the sole path that leads to nowhere. ‘.
