    Western Sydney/Parramatta region market is stupidly crazy

    Properties in The Hills are not on the market for anymore than a week. I'm looking at anywhere from Winston Hills to Kellyville Ridge, Old Toongabbie to Kings Langley. And this is with a huge supply of land coming on around The Ponds - Schofields - Kellyville

    Property on fire before settlement

    I've got a sneaking suspicion that this topic has been covered before. Around the time of the horrific bushfires in Vic a few years back. I seem to recall that if you exchange on a property unconditionally and it then burns to the ground, you are still required to settle with no compensation...

    How do Brokers get paid??

    Thanks all, I would not have baulked at a 2 year time period, I cant remember the exact details but it was ridiculous (It was either a $10k break fee or a 10 year period) and had put me off brokers all together ........until now. Starting a new business 12 months ago, the expertise of a good...

    How do Brokers get paid??

    Silly question really but... The last time round getting a loan (almost 8 years ago) we were talking to a broker (it may have been mortgage choice???) about our next purchase. Somewhere on the paperwork it said that if we payout the loan within a certain amount of time we have to pay the...

    Non-Property Unit Trust Q's

    he hasn't warned us about anything. I've done 4 gst returns under the pty ltd. I will seek proper advice. But my thoughts are to submit a zero BAS return for the pty ltd and register the unit trust for gst from now on. This is going to get messy. Thanks again

    Non-Property Unit Trust Q's

    Thank you......I didn't think it was just me. My decision to find another accountant is obviously justified.....Apart from the suspicious advice, it just took far too many phone calls and follow up emails to get the unit trust done. His interest level is zero. Thanks

    Still waiting to chat with my solicitor on this one but I thought I'd ask here.... My business partner and I set up a new business a year ago. We asked about and then were recommended to set up a Unit trust with a corporate trustee. Then 2 family trusts owning half each of the units. Our...

    Anything easier than MYOB?

    After using Xero for the past 6 months, I can whole heatedly recommended it. Definitely can input non invoiced items/expenses. I have the automatic bank feed setup and a couple of times a week I just code it all up. 'Easy as' to just put it in a revenue code or expense code. I was operating...

    New tenant wants carpet replaced

    Bingo! The operative word here being 'good'. Tell the PM it ain't happening. If they want new carpet to do it themselves. Without knowing the more details, what's the story with the endless options? As a commercial agent I would never (insert disclaimer) recommend a landlord accept 3x1year...

    Will I/We qualify for a full doc loan?

    Thanks for the advice.... I'm not sure how much 'lend' could be supported, but what would be the issues if any from my wife applying for a loan for an IP...and then changing our minds once settled and move in. I understand that a percentage of the potential rent would be taken into...
