    Building Insurance

    Changing IP to PPOR - who needs to be informed?

    Current IP is being charged land tax. It will become our PPOR in a few weeks. Do we just call the OSR to tell them we're going to convert the IP to our PPOP? I guess I also need to tell them current PPOR is going to be new IP? In addition to this, who else has to be informed that IP is going...

    $5m cash to play with

    Realistically... first, I'll use the first 1M to pay-off my properties and build a pool :D. Second, I'll take a break from work for a year or two and see how it goes. Thirdly, I'll use another million to play with - i.e. to buy a few toys and play the share market. For the remaining 3M, I'll put...

    Chemical barrier for termites

    Our ground floor is about 145 sqm including garage... so that's 14.5m x 10m... if $50 per meter then that's $725 + $500 = $1225, is that right? Not sure if it needs drilling though...

    Chemical barrier for termites

    We just recently had an annual pest/termite inspection for our 3-yr old house and the termite inspector said the outside chemical barrier needs to be re-applied (every 3 years apparently). If we don't want it re-applied, they can continue the annual check-up but their warranty expires. Now I...

    NSW: Dean Park vs Shalvey?

    The new Stonecutters Ridge golf estate is also just at the back of Dean Park. I would assume prices at Dean Park would somehow improve after the golf course's completion. It's just a few minutes walk to the golf course!

    Integral Energy vs Energy Australia

    I got a knock yesterday from an Energy Australia representative offering a 5% discount on our currnet Integral Energy and AGL rates if we shift our billing to them (we would still be in the Integral Energy and AGL network if I understood correctly). Our electricity rates were up more than...

    debt recycling

    We've only settled our first IP last week so I'm not sure if our structure is correct but I think ours is the same with Bayview except that we use a redraw account and an offset. We have a PPOR loan with a redraw which we haven't used except recently as deposit for the IP, and an offset acct...
