Just the obvious answer - does anyone know of a good accountant that is used to dealing with investment property. I did not ask for this persons issues to be dealt with - just the name of an accountant with experience in this area (property). I have seen this mentioned previously but didn't...

I have done a quick search but not found what I'm looking for... If it is OK, I would appreciate any recommendations for an accountant (either from this forum or elsewhere) who is able to give advice re property/accounting. A friend just bought a property and was told by the accountant that it...

I guess people in the legal field dealing with these scenarios get to hear some strange stories - makes one wonder about human nature :( I've lived in and worked with people from various cultural/ethnic groups and there are always similar stories.

Interesting....thanks

I did see an interview on TV re this matter and a lawyer in this field said that what was previously thought of as being written in concrete was no longer necessarily the case and many wills are now challenged. I also heard that if either the deceased's relative or the beneficiary gave (to the...

I have not really done any research on this aspect of the topic but would like to put it out there for anyone who has had experience or information. In the past I have heard differing opinions. In a situation where the parents have left all of their property (home/funds) to a charitable...

In answer to your question of few posts back, no, I haven't bought anything yet but have read all the replies with interest. It's fine to ask - that's how we learn.

Great feedback - thanks to all (been away for a while).

Need to get Korean men just after they have left the military - before that they have no idea about taking care of themselves (mum did everything). Having said that there seem to be some Aussie mums that could have taught the kids more about responsibity as well (eg, the bid does need to be...

That's good value for 2 cents ;)

From my experience- Art students= bad. Put lots of holes in the walls. Friend always has a dog that stays over. Cleaning is not part of the mindset. Collect lots of crap. Female students = bad. Lots of mess in the bathroom and spills on the floor/clogged toilets. Not always as clean as...

While there has been quite a bit of discussion and information (from well informed people) on this forum about which mining areas are good/better/best to buy in I am still somewhat confused as to where to invest. As I'm not familiar with the industry some of the industry-specific information is...

Oh dear....at least an early warning. Seems that there is little one can do - perhaps there needs to be more accessible data bases in relation to these people, if there isn't already.

Yes - don't assume bond - assume stupid :rolleyes: This lady had a story about just arriving over here without funds - she was with her daughter as well - looking for a teaching job. Gave me information about her last teaching post in NZ etc. and family here. To be fair to myself - she ripped...

I have looked through threads for helpful information re this issue - may have just missed it... Due to my own stupidity (trusting a person to whom I rented a room) I have lost money as the lady went back to NZ without paying her rent. I have had a debt collector call on her but after first...

Thanks for the information..

True - I agree with you on that....in my case it is a bit of both.

I think it looks wicked too, if the interior decor matches/compliments it. I've been looking at staining DIY videos and am thinking of giving it a try. I previously found some information on recycled material for floors - glass in particular - then lost it and cannot remember the search terms I...

Apologies if this has been discussed previously - I couldn't find anything... I am considering options for a concrete floor on the ground level of a house. I like the look of polished/stained concrete but have not done this before. I have one quote so far for polished with no stains or...

Thank you for the recommendation...
