How is that a tax loophole?

What were the costs of running this site at Linode? https://www.linode.com/pricing looks pretty damn cheap.

Wow, amazing news. Thanks Jan and Ian for supporting this site for as long as you have. I joined in 2006 after not being satisfied with the quality and breadth of information and knowledge presented on another property forum, and haven't been anywhere else since. Making it read only and still...

ANZ did one today for me @ 95% (incl LMI).

ANZ. Good news - I have just received full loan approval @ 95%. Now I can go unconditional. :)

Thanks all. My banker is about to get yelled at. :)

I guess since I'm trying to aim for 90%+ lend, this might be the mortgage insurers requirement too...

So do banks usually need a fully signed contract? I've sent them the 'signed by me' contract. :) Or is this approved as much as it can be (effectively full approval) and it's now just policy and paperwork?

Vendor's solicitor in NSW doesn't want a cooling off period, but in order to get full finance approval I need a fully signed contract. My offer was subject to finance, so I'm using "Way 2" of Propertunitie's buying post :D. In this case we've got the contract from the agent, not the vendor's...

Hi all, I sold the only asset (a propertyt) that was in my HDT (with corporate trustee) last October. I'm not looking at keeping this trust around going forward, so is it relatively simple to wind up or do I absolutely have to involve my accountant? From research, shouldn't it just be a...

Step 1: Get successful Step 2: Tell others how you did it. Usually step 2 involves expensive seminars, CD/DVDs, training, services and so on.

A Gold Coast teenager is reaching out to strangers to help raise money to buy a home as she wants to own her first property by the time she finishes year 12. https://au.news.yahoo.com/video/watch/28434096/teen-desperate-to-buy-own-property/?cmp=fb#page1

Nice to see you made the effort! Blocks are on community title, and landscaping plans have to be approved by the Brookwater Development Panel. No open brick or pine fences, strict covenants, and so on. Which stage is your mum in?

Yeah, even a golf buggy wouldn't be able to get in. Just imagine about 50 of these storage units on the ground floor of an apartment building, without about a 1.5m wide corridor to walk through to get in/out of the storage.

Ah, thanks for the distinction. :)

Brookwater is one of the best golf courses in the country (and #1 in Queensland); a resort will help attract big names from overseas.

Hi all, As part of the apartment I purchased some 11 years ago, a storage cage was thrown in for free. It's a 6sqm one on the ground floor with a roller-door+lock. Naturally access is probably restricted to only tenants of the building, or during business hours if the serviced apartment...

Is it the buyer's solicitor's job to find these clauses and ask for them to be removed?

I built in Brookwater 10 years ago and my house has been a rental for the last 7. Capital growth is restricted until the developer can sell the rest of the remaining blocks of land, and there's a fair bit of stock left. So potential buyers can be like "Do I like this design or can I just buy a...

Can you take a hit to just get it rented out and opt for a 3 month lease, followed by a top up rent $15/$20? There should be agents in Goodna/Springfield who would have properties from Redbank Plains on their rental roll.
