Thanks for the advice everyone. The tenant will go back to the agent with this information (not me - I was just asked for advice).

Hi Everyone, I would love any advice on the following tenancy issue in the ACT and my understanding of the relevant rules. In the ACT is it legal for the landlord/agent to ask a tenant to pay a $50 deposit being required by the body corporate to obtain a new key to common area facilities...

I am looking for ways to find out if a solicitor (or whoever) is handling a deceased estate and who they are. There has been no notification in the paper and probate has not yet been applied for. This is in the ACT. Any ideas most appreciated. I do have the contact details of the family but...

I am looking at the taking over a house which has been completed to lockup stage and then just left to sit. Wondering what ideas people have for financing something like this to take it through to completion. I have a builder who would complete it and tender as such. My mortgage broker...

Aware of having to pay stamp duty and CGT. The IP performs well enough to pay these to keep it.

Background: Fully owned IP in own name want to build new PPOR and have no debt over the PPOR. The question: Is it possible to take out a loan against the IP and use the money to build a PPOR but still tax deduct the interest payments (because the mortgage is against the IP)? My first...

Hi Everyone, Got a deal on the table where the seller has agreed to leave 20% in as a second mortgage (known as second mortgage carry-back). I need to find a lender who will do an 80% lend on this deal. My mortgage broker has a couple of options on the go, but I am on a timeframe with this...

I purchased a 2yr/40000km car from the auctions for a good price, converted it to run on LPG and put it on a 4yr lease. I tax deduct and claim GST back on all outgoings related to the car and it costs very little to own and run.

This thread further confirms why I drive a 2007 Aurion. Driveline as used in several Lexus models with the running costs of a normal car.

To be honest, the current lender is terrible. Expensive and crap customer service. I was looking to get a better product elsewhere and rid myself of them at the same time. I was looking to increase the loan to 90% but if LMI is a no go, switching with the current lender might be the go. That...

Hi Rolf, That's about that I thought, but enquiries yesterday turned up a lender who may do it, so I will speak further with them next week. Luckily we are only talking about a loan in the low $200k range and the difference between 80% and 83% LVR is about $10k. They appear to agree with my...

Got myself a HTC Desire last week and it's fabulous, especially now that I have removed the pre- installed Telstra rubbish, upgraded the operating system and thoroughly customised it. So much slicker and easier to use than my last phone - Nokia N97 mini. I can see why Android is gaining...

Hi Everyone, I am currently going through the process of refinancing one of my properties to get rid of the LOC I no longer need (or want). I got quite a long way down the process with a lender and then it all come to a halt due to LMI. The application was approved by the lender itself...
