Not really, I knew it was going to come eventually. Now need to find some time to do my tax return and claim it, hopefully next week. This financial year it will make absolutely no difference as I have amended my PAYGW. A nice relief would be getting all of my rentals (5) currently under...

Doesn't impact NRAS other than giving me an opportunity to extend the completion date to 30 October 2015. On 31 October 2015 my 10 years of NRAS start ticking away whether or not building has completed and I am claiming it. Yes will have to weigh up whether to select the builder myself or...

Quick update The builder fooked me around the last 8 months or so, made me pay an extra $16k for headworks which was included in the contract other they would do no more work, did no more work anyway and went into administration today :( The pad went down mid December, only water corp...

Finally got my RTO certificate yesterday, with Qantum

Main website I use is www.commerce.wa.gov.au, also check on TICA / NTD and cross check references provided using RPdata. Advertise in the paper and Gumtree.

I think I can do a better job than a PM and save a lot of $$ at the same time. I agree things seem to happen in patches but it wouldn't be any different using a PM. I can go for months without do anything more than checking the rent has gone in (especially easy when tenants pay monthly, my...

Are you sure you will be better off financially by moving? If you move you will not be able to claim all the expenses relating to the property as a tax expense (depreciation, rates, maintenance etc). This is probably worth more than $30pw.

I disagree with this. To me there are lots of good properties out there and for me to pick one above the others it must have a good "bonus". Whether it be subdivision potential, under market value, high rent or NRAS. In saying that I wouldn't touch most of the NRAS properties I have seen. I...

St George has only done the 0.25%, thought it might match Westpac at 0.28% http://www.stgeorge.com.au/personal/home-loans/manage/latest-interest-rate-change

Yes it is NRAS but should still be much shorter than 39 pages. Can always get the selected applicant to do the stat dec etc, if necessary, when signing up the lease.

I don't think I should post it online. Can be broken down to: 1 Page Consent 1 Page Checklist 9 Page standard REIWA application form 6 Pages of their standard annexures to lease agreement 8 Page Income Questionnaire 10 Page NRAS Consent & Demographic Assessment 4 Pages of Stat Dec &...

The property manager has been blaming the blinds looking ugly for people not submitting applications (had 10 groups take applications in the first viewing). I think none can be bothered filling in the application. I said I would do an open on the weekend (to try and get groups through that...

How about NRAS? Include discount rent, discount rent + NRAS credits or market rent.

Original return based on 105% of original purchase price or current return on current market value?

So I can go fishing :D
