    So maybe a QS report - but should that be done before or once its actually advertised for rent ?

    Recommendation for my situation

    I certainly will be changing to i/o - however one portion is fixed until mid Feb so I am a little stuck there. I'll have to merge it and then change it I guess. My immediate goal is to ensure our lifestyle isn't hindered any further - so a small gain in tax refund $$ will lead to a higher...

    Recommendation for my situation

    I haven't included depreciation - I guess I could roughly say 2k or so We did pay LMI but it was reduced by 50% by the bank for us. I guess we would still be ahead in the fact that at the moment we are paying p&i. The difference is quite considerable - which means those excess funds can be...

    Recommendation for my situation

    Thanks for the info So it doesn't really work out to be too much of a negative amount (based on some rough figures) Rental income per year = $23400 minus deductions of 21k of interest + general expenses = $24900 Total - negative -$1500 Our rent in the other house will be about 21.5k...

    20k to make an offer ?

    Doesn't matter anymore - contract went unconditional today to the other buyer who had their foreign investment funding approved. Totally gutted & pissed off to say the least. Back to the drawing board.

    20k to make an offer ?

    The 72 hour thing is only valid once we sign a contract to make an offer as in the special terms they've left it blank to be filled in on the day an offer is made and signed for - because that special term is applicable to the seller and the current buyer with a contract on it The agent is...

    20k to make an offer ?

    Exactly - this is what we don't understand. From what the RE told me if we were to put in and offer today - it would be three days /72 hours before we would know if the offer is accepted. heres the clause "This contract is subject to a contract between (seller) & buyer - dated (date)...
