Hi,
Just looking to get some feedback and advice on my current financial situation. I purchased a 2 bedroom apartment in Adelaide, Keswick for $227 500 in 2008. In that time I have spent roughly 15k on a reno. I have a loan for 190k on it at the moment and I rent it out at $275 per week. Its been revalued at $245k .It is 50m2.
My current situation
Im working on the Inpex Ichtys project in Darwin. My partner and I have bought a 2 bedroom apartment at Coconut Grove which is our ppor in 2013 for $457 000 . At the moment we currently have a loan of 449 k on it. Im earning 180 k a year and have 55k in savings in an offset account.
My 1st question is what to do with the Keswick property? It has shown pretty poor growth since I have bought it which has surprised me. It is 2.5 k from the city. 2 min walk to the train station (which is the last stop before Adelaide central). It has a solid yield and I am hearing reports that Adelaide is on the recovery but I am starting to wonder whether my money would be spent better elsewhere due to the poor growth and I am starting to run out of patience with it. We intend on staying in Darwin for the life of the Inpex project which will be complete by late 2016/2017. We are looking at relocating to the Sunshine Coast after this and will decide whether to hold onto the Coconut Grove apartment or sell it in the next 18 months to 2 yrs.
Secondly I'm looking at putting a team together e.g., broker, financial adviser accountant etc. that can monitor and provide a more thorough analysis of my situation and provide ongoing advice. Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
