Hi guys, This is a bit left-field, but I just felt I had to share this with you all. I was poking around ASIC website today and stumbled upon the "Pie in the Sky" award, which they give to the biggest rip-off scam of the year as a reminder of who and what is out there. Last year's winner...

Hi, I would like to give my 2 properties (in my personal name) to my parents for free. Can anyone help with such a transfer? Is there a tax implication or can there be a workaround? Thank you Properties are worth around 1.1m together with about 65% LVR on them. New loans would need to...

Hi all, I am selling my block of 5 flats in Townsville. It's a brick block, with a new roof and about to be finish new driveway (required by council). Unrenovated, so plenty of room to improve and revalue. The units are already on separate titles, so you can sell them individually after reno...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has ever tried buying an IP using AMEX? A workmate of mine used to work for Westpac and someone with a Platinum AMEX bought a house on it. They had to get a written bank gurantee to put up the money, but they did put thru the transaction. Needless to say he...

I cannot beleive the shit that this f*cking bank has pulled!!! I was supposed to settle tommorow on a property, and everything looked fine. Today my fin. broker got a call from them telling me they won't fund me due to "credit history with NAB". I had a credit card lost/stolen over a year...

Hi, If I buy a block of 12 units, but each has it's own title, can I finance it (probably with 4 differnet lenders) as a residential loan by getting 12 facilities? Do I need 12 contracts of sale? Thanks in advance :) Iggy

Hi, I just called up Depreciator.com.au (saw them in API magazine) and they gave me a quote of $650. Is that too expensive? They are nationwide and say that they are well accredited with the ATO (which I assume makes it easier to claim)? Any suggestions? I saw a post on the old forum...
