What part of that is difficult to understand?

So a bit under $700k per townhouse.
-borrowed it from the bank
-massively depends on your other income but the effective tax rate can be between 25-47% for someone like me already earning in the top tax bracket for my “job”. I’ve already provisioned for tax so $190k is pure after-tax profit
-tossing up between
a) reinvesting in quality fixtures/finishes for my current project
b) lambo

Lol at thinking you can buy real estate in aus for $150k
It’s posted in the op, $190k free and clear after-tax profit
One down, 2 more to go, wish me luck

if it was your PPOR, can you flip the lot tax free?

-DA was 18 months because we had one thing go wrong after another had to sack the first architect and I drew it myself. Construction was one year, rented for 1 year. Felt good to go from a massive liability to a tidy little profit
-This one wasn’t a ppor so I have made generous provision for (concessional) CGT. I picked the best unit in the complex to use as my PPOR so gains will be juicy when it comes time to sell that
-dunno about short term fluctuations on the market and don’t care. Over time it will go up. I’m not highly leveraged so patience is my friend.

We couldn’t get a definitive answer and I’m quite risk-averse in tax planning so we decided to rent it out for a year and avoid the risk altogether
There were some other issues about capex vs revenue but that was the main one

It’s weird when the whole thing is over in 15 minutes but it’s a great feeling to get rid of those brackets on the profit/loss statement
Did you do okay financially out of it?

Nice work mate.
Joint venture? Land costs sound too low otherwise, unless it’s not in Sydney?
What’s your estimated profit from the entire project? Enough to stop your day job and do this full-time, or do you still need the steady cashflow coming in?

I think if I can pull $600k after tax on the whole project that would be nice but the best unit of the 3 is my ppor so might do slightly better than that
Haven’t looked at the balance sheets lately but I think I sunk maybe $70-$100k of my own cash into this with the rest financed so not too bad of a return
As for the day job, well that’s the big question now isn’t it. If I hated what I do the answer would be easy but I love my job and get paid very well for relatively few hours so yeah it’s a tough one.
Also after a lot of trial and error we found a great finance guy, accountant, architect, builder, engineers and sales agent so this “Side hustle” is not a full time job by any means, probably 0-8 hours in any given week

Nice work m8, guaranteed the haters will come out of the woodwork when you post something like this. It's as if someone else's success diminishes their own; you guys need to develop an attitude of abundance.
I would have been a bit concerned through most of this year with the covid restrictions, some parts of the media were predicting 30% price falls in property. It must be a relief for you to get this converted into cash.
Are you going to put all your money into real estate for the next few years or invest some in shares? I currently have about 195k in cash earning 0%, I can see a 30%+ correction in the share market happening pretty soon (maybe 2% because some is in an offset account). The real estate market seems a lot safer, my borrowing capacity is non-existent right now though.
What was the tax plan then? Rent it out for a year and get the 12 month CGT discount, sell your property tax free under the main residence exemption and then sell the next one in the 2022 financial year?
If you are on the top marginal rate I would be tempted to take a year off work, and save a heap of money on tax.
Property development definitely increases the risk though, but it's good to see you got it over the line. Exciting times ahead for you brah

-when I saw the Covid news my first thought was “fuark I gotta buy my next development site while the sentiment is down” - which I did and got a steal.
-I’m going to start selling some of my old rentals because they suck up too much time for the amount of money they generate. My end goal might be to have 4-5 paid off properties generating around $200kpa to live comfortably
-with my compulsory super I have a lot ($1m+) exposure to the share market already. I also have a defined benefit from my days in the Govt so I’m pretty diversified
-I have 1 year of full time paid leave including long service I can take 2 years at half pay and come to think of it that’s not a bad idea. Reps off r/c

I can withdraw that whole amount and spend it on hookers and nose candy and nobody can say anything about it.

That's not really making $190k in 15 minutes. Unless you bought it for whatever $$$ and then 15 minutes later turned around and sold it for $190k plus on top of what you paid for it 15 minutes ago. Besides the length of time, you bought it. What was the profit over what you paid to own it?
No hate, just saying you spent time and money owning the property.

Good stuff, OP.
Was now a good time to sell? May be an obvious answer but any real estate market I am invested in is not a seller's market for sure.
And in some areas development costs are skyrocketing too - I'm still planning to convert some of my rentals into blocks.
