Last year when I did my tax return with Dale I was in the USA, and before my tax return was completed I had moved to Malaysia. Even though I was in a different country and time zone, I never had any problems getting my tax return completed. This year I am in Taiwan and will use Dale again...

I have four loans with CBA. No problems at all getting the loans. To be able to use a personal banker you need to apply for one of their packages(not sure of the name..maybe Wealth Package) which costs you $300 per year but then the cost of setting up the loan is free. There is also a 0.5%...

I am also working overseas and have four IPs in Australia. I pay tax on money earned from the properties, but due to depreciation, interest payments, etc, I am showing a loss. I am owed money by the taxman, but as I don't pay tax in Australia on my salary I don't get any benefit from this. I use...

The stove in my IP had to be replaced as it was not possible to repair the stove(parts not available). How can I handle this for tax purposes, can it be classes as a repair or do I have to depreciate this item.

I purchased a property in Labrador Qld and I was told to look inside the electrical meter box for the original pest spray date. I did find the original spray date which is close enough to the construction date.

I have had dealings with the IC. I bought my first property through them as part of a learning curve. I was out of the country at the time and wanted to get my money working for me. The research they did was very good and the assistance in getting all the documents prepared was also very good...

Can anyone please give me feedback on whether they have used or plan to use a lawyer/solicitor for signing on their behalf. I am an expat and getting the documents are the easy part, but getting the witness is sometimes very difficult or a practical impossibility as it needs to be witnessed...

I have two IPs, one is a normal IO mortgage and the other is a LOc. The bank has just valued the two IPs and said that the total equity is $30000. I am looking at using this equity to buy a third IP. Should I ask the bank to increase the LOC by $30000 or is there a better way of...

I have seen "Real Estate Express" advertising in the Australian property investor. Can anyone give me some feedback, good or bad, regarding "Real Estate Express" Nakal

Does anybody have any comments about this location. I am looking at a house and land package built by Villa World.

Don't forget you still need some extra money for stamp duty, solicitors fees, rates adjustment, etc. Albert

I mean that the $5000 was a loss due to depreciation, advertising costs and management fees, not a payment into my IP.

I recall reading a post asking a similar question, but cannot find the post. If my taxable income from salary is zero and my taxable income from my IPs are -$5000(owing to me by the taxman). If I never had a chance to claim this money from the taxman due to my properties being negative...

I was in the same situation as you and only found out about this when i applied for a loan from Westpac. I payed the outstanding amount, sent all the documentation regarding the issue to Westpac as requested by them and then was told by Westpac that I would have to wait a fuether 6 months before...

I have two IPs with the same bank. One IP is IO and the other is LOC. I would like to use the equity to purchase another IP. If I use a different bank for finance, what would they use as security if I use the equity from the IP. Using the extra funds from the LOC would be easy as I would just...

Another question regarding management fees....I have just purchased an IP which was already rented out, the tenants are still in the property and it is also being managed by the same property manager. Is it normal to pay the letting fee again, this has been paid for by the previous owner and...
