Case Study – $170K projected profit from Subdivide, renovate, build and sell

Location: NSW

Purchase Price: $286K

Strategy: DGI Graduate bought derelict hail damaged house with asbestos on sub-divisible block. To subdivide, the DA requirement for Dual Occupancy was to build on the subdivided block – i.e. she could not subdivide the block to sell as vacant land.

Result: She renovated the derelict house and moved into it so she is close to project of building on the back block. She will sell reno’d house for $400K and build the other one for $450K. Based on comparable sales in the area, she would be expecting to make a projected profit of $170K.
