Hi, I have searched the forum without any luck. I am in the process of setting up a company as a side project to my current job. As there are costs in doing so, I want to be able to make these costs deductible from Day 1. Things like accountant fees, lawyers, etc etc. As I'd prefer to...

Can someone tell me if the BC Management company can charge additional fees that aren't set out in the AGM? I am in the situation where I was 2 weeks late (for the first time ever) on paying my levies due to unforeseen circumstances. I paid the levies asap without the need for a reminder...

Hi, I'm about to do some renos in my PPOR and as it turns out it's on a small lot. It's 809m2, but only has an average width of less than 15m being 10m*80m. It turns out I may be in luck being on a small Lot as a lot of council permits are not required. Can someone shed some light on...

I'm relatively new to the game and have had a tenant in one of my IP's for a little over a year, and they are constantly behind in rent. This month they are 7 weeks behind. I am always onto my PM for a please explain, and the tenants eventually pay up the missing rent, but it's never in...
