Good point - perhaps they don't need to be there... I will check out tomorrow. Thanks for the advice

Yes, it's lovely isn't it. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the advice - all done!

Sorry, forgot to attach the image!

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to update this lighting above a bathroom mirror cheaply?

Thanks Paul, I assume I don't have any choice if the cosmetic reno will take 2-3 weeks and the tradies need power/water? I will make sure I do that for sure, thanks for the tip

Hi all, House we've bought is in Moreton bay region QLD and we have a few weeks reno to do before putting tenants in - just wondering what we do about connection water/power prior to tenants going in and creating their own account? Do we just call our PPOR supplier and add to existing account...

Thanks all for your input. That is a LOT of good feedback for you Scott! I'm assuming I can get an online quote on your website? Also, is it standard for inspectors to do the inspection and the QS to prepare the report? Cheers

Looking at tax depreciation report for first IP - Almost a $200 price difference so just through I'd gauge whether people had any particularly good/bad experiences? Cheers

Hi all, We've just purchased our first IP. We're meeting the selling agent at the property next week for our 'pre-purchase' inspection (but it's basically so that we can take a whole heap of measurements to plan for cosmetic Reno straight after settlement.) Being an hour or so from our home...

Great advice guys, thanks. Yes its a bit strange - half the house is 60s original fibro and the second half is an extension buil in the 90s. As such the extension is in good nick, with a nice kitchen and ensuite. The original house including living space two beds and bathroom bathroom are in...

Thanks Jeremy, you make some very good points and your opinion is much appreciated

Well your thirty minutes in this case is much appreciated

I was going to say the same thing! I assumed it was much more simple.

Thank rob. No its for one we have a contract on. I assume from the info it means the interest is not deductible now that it's been paid from a personal use account but it will form part of the cost base of we ever sell. Lucky we've made that mistake on a relatively small purchase! So just to...

Just for others information - I had some input from my accountant also. Apparently a reimbursement for the exact amount should be ok for the ATO, but probably preferable to do the way Paul suggests.

Thanks for clarification Paul

Hmm...so I'll need a third comment to clarify - seems we have two differing opinions? The issue is that if I am to transfer directly from the loan it takes up to three days, where as if I pay with cash/credit card it goes through immediately while I then wait for the loan funds to reimburse

Quick question - if I pay for building and pest inspection from an everyday/offset account and then reimburse the amount from my loan set up for investment purposes, is the interest on the loan for this amount still deductible?

Hi, We have recently purchased an investment property which requires a bit of work. Half of the house is 60s original and the other is an extension built in the 90s that requires little work. We are thinking we will try to contain the work we do at this stage to a paint job, new blinds...
