Hi, I really do not understand my parents thinking, when I first started talking about property investing they were stressing out big time acting like I was going to lose the shirt of my back and would present me each week when I visited with a pile of newspaper clippings of every negative...

Hi, We had an air conditioner repaired recently and in the process a foot was put through the ceiling, in this case I will be repairing it as it was my brother in law doing the job for free but normally who would be resonsible for the repair?

Hi, I have the opertunity to undergo some subsidised training through work. Since I privately manage my IP's one of the courses I was considering is Property managment. If I do this and gain a licence how will it effect me with regards to privately managing my own properties? I think I have...

Hi, We are buying a new property which we are going to live in for 5 years or so and then develop. I was going to borrow the money for the buying costs and am wondering if the interest on this loan will be deductible after the property is developed and becomes an IP as it was originally used...
