Are there any tax considerations in selling a previous PPOR (well within 6 years of moving out) with a DA in place? The goal being a higher selling price? How does it effect CGT, if at all? Can you claim the expense as deductible if it is established whilst the property is an IP with...

Hi all, I have an IP in Brisbane south side, on 607m2, zoned LMR 2/3 (mixed two-three storey). The next door block is an identical size, and I've just found out DA is all but approved to put 7x 2 bedroom units. I know that this block sold to the developer for bang on $1000/m2, and a couple...

Does anyone have their finger on Brookwaters pulse (Ispwich CC, QLD)? My mother has a PPOR there and is facing a rough time financially, and may have to sell her fairly new property. It's not an area that I've been otherwise inclined to look into, but I need to weigh up whether I can nurse...

I've been mentally juggling the following for a few months. I've worked essentially 7 days and nights a week for the previous decade, but now find myself working 4 days a week - and frankly, loving it in comparison. (My son was over 18 months old before I spent greater than a continuous 30...

Hi all, I need recommendations for an expert in built-ins for a house in Greenslopes. I need modern style, sliding mirrored doors x2, and also need built-ins sympathetic to a 95 year old Queenslander which has very high ceilings, and VJ panelling. These may also require a small amount of...

Everything is for sale at the right price, right? I've had an interesting day. An agent called me today with an cash, unconditional offer on a Brisbane south side property that isn't for sale (but I had previously indicated I would consider it). My strategy is buy and hold, long-term. I...

Learned members, My purchase is set up as following: 95% loan 10% equity release - deposit and stamp duty Let's say the equity release doesn't come through in time for settlement (as it requires a change of lender and discharge of existing mortgage), how can I fund the shortfall...

A contract was provided to me via email, which we signed at a purchase price of XX6,000. Alterations were made and initialled elsewhere. The contract was personally handed to the real estate, but subsequent copies of the contract and solicitor, and real estate agent correspondence refer...

I had this all figured out, but somehow have gotten my head in a spin. For my latest purchase, I need to access most (all) of the negative gearing/tax offsets as my wife earns zilch. The loan is purely in my name, but the contract has her name. I cannot figure out how to make this...

2015 land valuations were released today - My cairns house had its SV increased 17%, and Brisbane 6%. But what does this mean to me, and What effect does this have, if any, apart from increased rates? I bet my reveals last week would have been different this week, although neither were desk...

Hi folks, Having a fairly ignorant view of my first IP, I never arranged a depreciation schedule - I figured it was all pretty old (1960s brick house), and the only thing new were the air conditioners which I have been claiming depreciation on, but that's it. This was probably the wrong...
