    Super and Death

    Hi, I work for a very large super fund (that will remain nameless). The decisions around mortality claims are simply not made by the trustees themselves, but by dedicated staff who do nothing but process mortality applications. When it comes to lapsing/non-lapsing binding nominations, believe...

    ASX good value?

    Hey toe and pom! Of course on the above chart the asx200 is underperforming the US. You need to compare the ASX accumulation index to get a real comparison!!! With US taxation rules the majority of the larger companies hoard vast amounts of cash in capital and dont pay it out to...

    Plumber call out fee - $350

    As plumber has already stated, in this instance, even if the cause was only a leak from a flared nut/copper pipe connection from the regulator. Which might have only taken all of 5 mins to find and fix with a bit of soapy water. The plumber would (im assuming) have pressure tested the pipework...

    Solar Panels for IPs?!

    This post makes much sense. I would agree its only a matter of time until the technology snowballs to the point of actually being competitive with fossil fuel energy without being subsidised, Obviously that point is not here yet. 2016 does sound optimistic to me aswell. But one only needs to...

    thoughts on Logan Village / Jimboomba

    bit of a boomtown over the next couple of years. Yarabilba is kicking into gear the village is changing quickly. Woolworths put out tenders in January so wont be too far from moving in. The talk for transport infrastructure is the possibilty of extending the gateway 'through the back' from...

    Is Nerang is a good suburb for IP?

    Anyone looking at nerang should read this comment from Rolf. Its definitly a bit of a mix of a suburb. Was working on the large (78apartments) Nras project on bowden st for a while and it left me unimpressed with the streets around it.

    Solar Panels for IPs?!

    Come on Dazz ... think ... THINK ! :D Obviously if one reduces the relative cost base for the electricity they deliver the ROI and pay back timeframe will not be exactly the same no matter how large the system as you have stated. Its blindingly obvious but think about the difference in...

    Solar Panels for IPs?!

    No Dazz, I did not ignore your statement - Well I am sure you have the experience/knowledge and means to be able to do so. The majority of people (imo) seem incabable of actually realizing any return. Just because you cant see any potential for acceptable returns from this area doesnt mean...

    Too late?

    Id tend to agree with your observation that prices have come down marginally. Not down anywhere near to the extent that the Gold Coast market has but in general the logan market seems to have tracked sideways and down slightly over the last few years. I also think they have room to come down...

    Bathurst or Logan Central

    I would agree with this post. Me personally I am not interested in the slightest in the not so pleasant suburbs of logan. Would probably take a ridiculously good deal to justify buying into some of these areas (im not a big fan of buying an investment property that a 'houso' can afford to live...

    Solar Panels for IPs?!

    Hi Dazz. Its a bit misleading to compare yield returns without considering taxation imo. A bank deposit of the 12500k at 5% will yield $158 gross allowing for tax (say 30% MTR and looking at one quarter) leaving you with $111 and an after tax annual yield of 3.5%. Allow for 3% inflation and a...
