Hello All Here in WA I have a IP that is a survey strata unit in a group of 14. One of the side fences was recently damaged by a car which was reversing down the side access which is part of the common property and efforts to recover the cost from the car driver have proved impossible. The...

Hello All I am about to sell a unit that myself and my girlfriend bought in 1997. In 1999 we split up and I bought the unit in my name only and paid her out. I lived there myself until 2005. In 2005 I rented the unit out and it has been an IP since that time. Hopefully someone can...

This link may have been posted before, but it is 10 minutes from 60 minutes in the US outlining that the US still has a larger fall in store. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKlBJavw_X4

I was chatting to a mate in the UK who has a company that holds the asset (a caravan park) and then a separate operating company that leases the park and runs it, so if someone tries to sue the operating company, they don't actually have any assets. My question is could this be done with...

I had a ticket to the book launch in Perth the other night. Not that I am a big fan, but it gets me out of the house. :-) I ended up not being able to go so I was wondering if anyone on the forum had gone and could sum it up for me in a few lines. (Dazza is really good at this!) Thanks in...

I read with interest Rob's magazine interview on cross colateralisation. It has helped me build up my portfolio, but I am wondering now if I should start to separate the loans now that each loan would be <80% of the value of the property. I could refinance each property to take out the equity...

Last night's "A current Affair" had a piece on Las Vegas which apparently is ground zero of the housing troubles in the US. The journo was shown around properties that had dropped from $1,000,000 to $100,000 and was told of prorerties that could be picked up for $20,000. I couldn't help but...

Hello Everybody I am looking at using the Mortgage Watchdog software as it comes with a guarantee to save you more than it actually cost. Has anybody used this? I would like to know how it works as it seems to me they must be calculating loan interest using a different formula than the banks...

Hello All I have an older unit that I am planning on renovating then selling in a year or so. As some of the repairs will be bringing the unit back up to the condition that I bought it, I presume these will be a tax deduction. If I make improvements beyond that, would they be a depreciable...
