Property investment and portfolio ideas?

I have approx 0K cash and I want to invest in housing and hopefully build a large portfolio one day (on the very far horizon haha). Does anyone know the best way to build a portfolio with this money? For example, use it as deposits for three houses that all produce rent from day one with some input to the loan from me? Or should I use all of the money to buy one more expensive house and later use the equity in that property to leverage finance for other properties (once it appreciates)? Or, or, or…………….there are so many ideas and so few answers in my head.

Any genuine advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Investment property? Looking for advice from fellow Australians.?

Do you think it’s better to buy units or houses? Units seem to be more appealing because the gap between rental income and the mortgage is smaller, but the appreciation would be less? Am interested in hearing your opinions as we’ve saving a decent deposit and are wondering where to go from here. We currently live overseas so can’t buy something to live in at this stage.

Is adding a bidet to my bathroom a good investment decision?

The bidet and installation costs ,000. I think it’ll make the bathroom more classy, unique and hygenic but most potential buyers won’t even know what it is. Think it’s worth installing one in our investment property?

What to do with $200k cash in hand (1st home, investment property and small business)?

Hi there.

What to do with 0k cash in hand? Looking at getting the following:

1. First home (around 0k);
2. 1 x Investment property (under 0k with approx. 0 rental income weekly)
3. 1 x Small business (under 0k with approx. 00 turnover weekly, 30% profit)

Could anyone tell me if it is possible to purchase all these with the 0k deposit? If so, what will be the best way to do it?

Also, what if the cash in hand increases to 0k instead?

Thanks heaps!

Would we save money on tax if we buy an investment property?

I don’t really understand how it works but my husband is paying ,000 tax per year on a salary of 500 (A LOT of tax!) We live in the desert for his job and only pay a week subsidised rent, we are going to be here for another year and a half at least and his pay will increase. We are kind of wanting to buy a house but cannot decide whether to buy an investment property for around 0,000 or a house for us to live in for about 0,000, the rent we could get for the cheaper house is 0 a week and for the more expensive house 0 per week (the more expensive house will need to be built first). What I want to know is if we would get tax deductions for buying an investment property and if so how much is it and what IS a tax deduction? Like would we get a large tax return or something?
0,000 is as cheap as they get unfortunately. We live in Western Australia
