Like a lot of people from Newcastle I'm in need of a new boundary fence for my PPOR. My neighbour organised a quote today from a 'mate' of his and I'm just trying to asses if I'm being asked to pay a fair cost or if I'm being take for a ride and should get some more quotes. My section of the...

Just wondering what sort of requirements (council or other) there would likely be for leasing out parts of an industrial property to multiple tenants? I have been keeping an eye on an industrial property that sold in September last year and has been sitting vacant and for lease since. I was...

Something I read in this months API magazine alluded to being able to pay my spouse to do work on our IP which is owned solely in my name. The basic plan would be to pay my wife a small fee each month for book keeping for our IP, soon to be 2 IPs both owned 100% in my name. She already has...

Ok, just want to know if this sounds normal or not. Looked through a property last Saturday (in NSW), made and offer and after a bit of back and forth by Monday afternoon the vendor and I had come to an agreement on price. Its now friday and my solicitor still hasn't recieved a contract from...

So I made an offer today on a currenty tenanted property that is to be our PPOR and the agent asked me would I require vacant possesion. We dont have our current PPOR on the market so there will be some time between settling on this one moving in, let say 3 months. Am I correct in assuming...

I tried to seach this but "development" cant be searched due to too many results. If I was to purchase a block with a house on it for 300k with the intention to rent it out for 12 months and then knock it down and spend a furthur 600K to build 3 townhouses on the block how would the finance...

OK, The wife and I settled on our first IP on Monday:), got the keys, checked the place out and found the vendor had left some stuff in the property, most of which was not a big deal, some bits of timber, an old door, etc. but I behind the garage at the rear of the property leaning against the...

OK, I came across this property I like the look of tonight but won't be in a position to buy for a few months so I though I'd use it as a bit of a case study in DD to see if I'm going about it the right way yet....or not. The goal for this property would be something that is cash flow...

Went and looked at house on the weekend where the agent informed me that the public trustee was the vendor, how would this affect your ability to negotiate the purchase price? The house was overpriced and had a multitude of structural issues so I wont be purchasing, just curious about dealing...

I am currently looking at a property in NSW that according to the Surveyors report hangs approx 280mm over the neighbours property, the wall itself is inside the boundary by 30mm, only the eave is on their property, the house is around 50 years old and the eave in question would be part of the...

OK, this seems like a silly question but I cant seem to find a clear answer. When purchasing an IP which purchase cost are payable with borrowed money so the interest on said money is tax deductable? Purchase price obviously, but what about things like stamp duty, BA fees, conveyancer fees...

I have a quote from lawyer to "incorporate a company" and "establish a trust" and to "execute documents and have the deed stamped at the OSR" The price is just shy of $3000 including GST, this price doesn't include applying for an ABN or TFN if applicable. Just wondering does this cost...

Today our new roof was finished, I got up on the roof to have a look and found a few issues but I'm not sure what are really issues that I should be pushing the roofer to fix and what things are me just being too picky. I dont think the roof should be wavy like that, also wondering if the white...

We are getting the roof on our PPOR replaced in the next few weeks, we finally settled on a roofer today and have decided that this would be the best time to insulate the roof since a large portion of our roof is a flat roof and we can only get access when the tin is off. The flat section...

Went to have a chat to a local accountant today regarding possible structuring of our investment properties for most effective taxation (We are yet to buy and IP but are working towards it very soon). We have a simple scenario, I am a PAYG employee, wife doesnt work, 2 small children. We...

Upgrading my PPOR or buy an IP, which should come first. First up, Hi, my name is Jason, like most newbies my first post is a complicated (at least to me), and probably already covered question. Hopefully some of you more knowledgble folk can can point me in the right direction:). My current...
