Paid All done and dusted.

Please only reply if you have a property in Queensland. I bought a PPOR in Qld and lived there for approximately 49 weeks. A change of circumstances meant I had to move away, Subsequently I then rented it out. I had moved in on settlement and hence paid the standard home stamp duty (one of...

In a nutshell -: Bought a property and moved in on settlement (end of July 09) to reside in as my PPOR. Had every intention of residing there for 12 months or more... .......9 months later (beginning of May 10), Circumstances change and I had to move out. Property subsequently became...

Gympie I think the reason why Terry Ryder put it on his hot spot list was 1.) the proposed Traveston Dam was likely to go through and create jobs, etc and 2.) the upgraded highway increasing commuting time to other parts of the region. Well since Terry wrote this the Traveston Dam proposal...

I agree Rightvalue :), if he/she changed the 6 to a 5 it would be more believable. Ive heard of marking up prices, but that just makes me laugh. :p

Like I said, I bought mine brand new 15 months ago so the 2 bedder was also brand new at the time. Mabe its classified as a townhouse? Small complex of only 8. For that price in New Farm you would get an apartment in a significantly older block with more units..... $450K 15 months ago - in...

I shouldn't be complaining! :D

Id like to believe you, but I seriously dont think so. Its a 2 bedroom up for sale for $630K. I think the original price was about $450K 15 months ago. Mine is 3 bedroom (exact same unit but obviously much larger), which cost $520K I think the growth in Bardon over that period is at a...

I bought a brand new 3 bedroom apartment in Bardon 15 months ago for $520K. A 2 bedroom apartment in the same block is now up for sale for $630K (down from $650K for a 'quick sale'). Now either he is dreamin or Bardon is booming and Im laughing. :) :D

See what I mean? Everyone's got a different opinion on this one, which is why its so frustrating. Thanks Leikela, I am not registered for GST, Im just your usual 9-5 PAYE employee who wants to claim this GST component of the managenment fee as an outright tax deduction. i.e my property...

Hi all, Im writing this very quickly on the go - In short, I went to an accountant to complete my tax return today. Im not exactly used to the Australian tax system, having lived overseas for many years. Having said that, I don't think the guy knew what he was talking about because when I...

1. I am a local and yes, I have actually gone into the hospital and, like I said, was given the run around. I have even been given the name of a dept that could supposedly help but they were incredibly UNHELPFUL. I have made these attempts on more than one occasion over the phone. 2. Yes, I...

There was a recent article in API mag (The most recent issue?) about an investor who developed an existing property and added another property to the rear of the block. The properties are located in Nambour opposite the hospital. The investor was somehow able to negotiate a two year lease with...

St George 100% offset with variable and I think 50% oofset with fixed rate. :)

If one goes to a bank, gets a pre-approval, and then decides not to go though with borrowing any money from that bank, for any reason - e.g. invest money elsewhere, get a loan with someone else, etc - does it effect your credit rating?
