The quality of advice by industry experts is a wonderful feature of this website. For some time I have been advising people with property questions to post here in the certain knowledge the answers would be accurate. Many thanks to those that made it happen. Leaving the website online read only...

Whirlpool has an interesting discussion. http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2290394&p=60

NAB is trading in the mid-$34 area, and NABR in the high $5 area. The DY is in the high fives fully franked. There appears to be some price support due to the DY. There's price support at $32, and this did not break in 2014. Worst case, buy the entitlement at $28.50, and there's a paper profit...

Thank you. It's too cold for diving.

The federal budget provided that small business or sole trader with an ABN with a turnover of under $2 million a year can claim up to $20 000 a year. I have an ABN for a business that was a sole trader. I'm still the same sole trader, but have moved onto property and shares. One report advises...

One can but hope. You may wish to monitor the news to see about biffo or an exploding IP. More seriously, if an event seems like it will go pear-shaped, I keep all emails in a word processor. Write the email in the WP, add the date and time of despatch, and then send it. Incoming emails are...

That's mad! You're the owner, you make the calls on what can be done. Most certainly work with the new owner but until settlement you decide. The new owner had no right to give the PM any instructions until after settlement. The tenant, PM and new owner are probably having a lovely time together.

Terry, can you please advise if in your view s. 87A (1) has been satisfied in my circumstances?

Marty, thanks. I can see where they are coming from, AML and all that, but this is insane. There should be just one standard universally applied, and when there is sufficient evidence from multiple sources about a person with a long history, then identity should be proven. I've given something...

I'm towards the end of arranging refinancing and today was advised by my broker that 100 points of identity are required. It seems that the Victorian Titles Office recently had a chnage of legislation, regulation or policy requiring 100 points. Odd. I am alrerady registred with the Titles Office...

Agree. The PM has the keys as does the LL, and it's a question of trust. A tradie who is also a thief would not last long, or maybe the tenant just feels more comfortable being there when a person with a key might visit. The repair was sorted.

Thank you. The PM's advice will be sought. If the tenant does not have to be there then the tenant will not know who is selected to do the job.

A tenant reported a non-urgent repair to the PM and I was contacted about this. The agent said that tradies normally contact the tenant to sort out dates and times of access, and if the tradie can use the PM's keys. As this is a non-urgent repair I'd like to have the tradie attend on a weekday...

I cannot recall what it was like then, ages ago, but I suspect note. I know the issue was raised at an OC AGM a few years ago, and last year it was decided to fix the paths. Is pre-existing or not at the time of purchase a factor? The TR cited above seems to turn on "repair". The new concreting...

Thanks for that advice. The ATO advises that: "Similarly, if the body corporate levies a special contribution for major capital expenses to be paid out of the general purpose sinking fund, you will not be entitled to a deduction for this special contribution amount." The item in question is...
