Have searched the forums and found little snippets of info but nothing major. I was starting to research and look into ways one can prepare financially if planning to start a family. Not even sure I have posted in the right discussion area to be honest! Some basics I’ve read about for...

Scenario is this: IP purchased and granny flat being constructed after obtaining approval from council. both dwellings will be completely separate, i.e. own bins, meters, entrances etc.... only the drive way is common, like a battleaxe would be. question 1 is can I claim deductions for the...

If any of you can make a recommendation it would be greatly appreciated!! Campbelltown NSW area if it makes a difference. Thanks all! tried to have a read through some threads but could not find any references. good evening!

Thought I would see what the opinion of some experienced folk would be with regards to this idea... We will be away for an extended period of time but unfortunately we depart pretty much around the same time that construction can commence on a granny flat. Would you feel confident with the...

Currently about to exchange on a property where we intend to build a granny flat on the back. The vendor would love to rent the house back form us. He is also aware that there will be construction happening. This is good as we will have a tenant form day 1 and throughout the construction phase...

We're starting to research development for our next investment and I can tell you I have a million and one questions. slowly getting answers but this one has me baffled If we are developing with the idea to rent the properties out once they are finished would it be best to buy the land in our...

There is a timber retaining wall between us and our neighbour which needs some attention. we are on the high side and was wondering who is responsible for the maintenance. would it be a shared cost? Thanks!!

yes, have already called fair trading and they were as helpful as a brick wall! now i know that online there is a document that states all landlord responsibilities.....etc but he didn't even know what i was talking about!! can someone send me the link please! this tenant has called with...

This might be a dumb question but I really am not a technical person at all! Looking at buying a house and would like to see if it is possible that some kind of inspection exists to "x-ray" the drain and surrounds or something of the sort! The property is close to 30 years and a few...

This may be a bit of a strange question, but this issue is starting to get to me. Our Property Manager has never paid us the same amount of rent twice! We’ve had the property with them for over 6 months now and i thought at some point a pattern must emerge right?!? the statements cover...

I have posted this question somewhere else already and will try to delete as its in the wrong spot, so apologies before hand :o Have read loads about granny flats but have come across something slightly different. A house (quite large) that is split in half. Both "sides" are completely...

We currently own our PROP and 1 IP but we are looking at purchasing our 2nd. Currently we have no finance structures in place, we just purchase the properties in our names (my husband and I). Does it make sense to keep purchasing this way for now? We have no kids as yet and are both 25yrs...

so there are many fancy calculators that will work out all sorts of numbers for you, but i am just interested in a simple, basic way of calculating Yield (both net and gross) for my IP. I currently already input into a spreadsheat all the outgoings and incomings. initial purchase costs do...

The lease on our IP will be up for renewal soon. What I would like to learn is how can I find out whether, after 6 months, it is fair to increase the rent? after about 3 months into the lease the tenant asked whether she could keep a pet. We were happy with our first impression of the tenant...

I hope that i am phrasing this correctly..... how much/what percentage of serviceability does your bank allow? for some reason our LOC, based on drawing on the equity in our current home is not being approved and serviceability is being questioned but no one can understand why ( our...

HI, wondering if anyone can help me out with regards to this issue. Have tried a quick search but it returned a long list of threads and I don’t have time to look through it tonight… We have had an application put in for our IP. Now the issue is that she has a letter from the department of...

We have found the property we want to buy and cooling period has just started! :) we're quite excited and can't wait!! My question now is, can anyone recommend a property manager in the Campbelltown/Camden/Narellan area?? We've looked at 3 differenct ones so far and one major difference...

Quick couple of question re buying process. I’m sure there is a thread (or several of them!) running around with this info but I cant find it! Basically once you’re interested in a property you make an offer and hope its accepted. If it is, is the 025% “deposit” payable by force or optional...

I was wondering whether I could get your feedback about this suburb. i have never been to Rosehill but will be driving there tomorrow but still would like your valued opinions please :) As you know there is the race course in Rosehill. Do you think this is a pro or a con? Now the unit i...

This is a bit of a silly question really and cant find the answe to it around here. do you still condict a building/pest cotnral report for a new property? i would think yes but thought id check before i make a fool of myself with a conveyance or something! :)
