My Permaculture Journey So recently decided I would sell my property in an outer city as I was not doing much or getting anywhere. I was nearly about to rent my apartment out and go live right in the city and do some part time work. This was mainly to cover mortgage payments and rates etc. Then I looked at the other option more carefully which was to sell my place. The more I looked at this option the better it seems. This has always been a last resort option as I have strong beliefs property can make you money and the longer you can hold it for the better. Mine had made me a little profit over the years but nothing like some people have got in Sydney. If I sell my place it will leave me around 100k in cash once the mortgage and everything else is covered. Not much for a middle aging guy but better than nothing. I have to make do with what I have. it could possible be another 20-30k if the current property sells for more, My plan will be to budget for 100k ( I could get more)
