25/2/15 $390,000 we have bingo

Thanks Terry, that is what I was aiming for. Because we own it without mortgage what exactly would be deductable. So looks like depreciation on capital works then. Cheers

Thanks in advance. May be long but bear with me. Looking for all suggested actions to have options down the track if required. Looking to convert PPOR to IP. Details: Year of construction - 1969 Condition - original Suburb - Albany Creek Purchased - 2002 Price $160k Owing - $0...

If my memory serves me correct min. lot size for duplex is 700m2.

Cool, this seems more up to date rather than the archaic rule of obtaining rights through adverse possession, and thanks again for all input greatly appreciated.

Oh I don't know, maybe experience, 6 years at uni, Professional Indemnity Insurance, you know all the things you don't have. (Here is some homework for you, go and ask a private certifier how long they need to keep their PI insurance for after their last building certification, if you cant...
