    Laundering money

    I've been watching 'Better Call Saul' and reflecting back on Breaking Bad... How do you launder serious amounts of money? A relatively small amount of money (say $50-100k?) would be easy-ish to launder. How do you wash and dry the millions that a lot of criminal organisations must be...

    Pools add value

    Or do they? Ignoring the pros/cons of a pool in an IP, does a place with a pool attract a higher sales price? If so, is it more/less than the cost of building the pool? Does it vary by city? Other? I overhear people saying both extremes, and I'm not talking about serious PIs. "I'd buy it...

    I have a relative who recently purchased a PPOR on 150+ acres. It is not income producing. It has a house and shed-house close to each other and I think one more farm type shed. Is there anything she and her partner can claim as deductions related to the 'farm' against their normal PAYG...

    Just in terms of general perception, what is the 'worst' suburb in your city? If you said you lived in x burb at a dinner party, what burb would most silence the room? (not talking about investment potential) In Brisbane I'd say Inala.
