Selling can be a daunting experience, but when you know it’s do do something you’re passionate about the sacrifice  isn’t what is seems.

It’s a week since we put the house on the market. With 10 people now having inspected and an offer on the table we realize the fruits of the last two years are finally coming to fruition. Ever since coming off my motorcycle the thoughts of living my life the way I want to and not be constrained and dictated to by the corporate world have weighed heavy.

This path we are now taking is one more of self fulfilment and recognising that you don’t have to be a slave till you’re 65 you can reset the so called career path. My career is life, not to a company but to me.
We considered renting out our house and keeping a base in Brisbane but with recent unfolding events about our visa status we decided that our money best be kept as liquid as we can.

So, where to from here?

Once we are freed from our current mortgage the plan is to rent a place for a while. The idea of getting in a couple of flatmates appeals as this would lower our outgoings and put more money into our travel funds.

We are considering buying another house to, but the price has to be right for us to capitalize on the now turning housing market here in Brisbane. If we were to buy we would continue to rent and not live in the investment house. As our plan is to travel around Australia in 2015 we maybe able to buy and turn over a couple of houses in this time. I mean we have the contacts now after living here for the last 8 years so why not use them. These are people that we trust and are now good friends. I have no problem paying mates.

The next couple of weeks are going to be hectic but given the last month preparing for the house to go on the market we should get through fine. Although Elena is off to Melbourne this weekend.
