    Hi Karl and Rita,

    Try Julia from here or SS, she is in Bechmere Qld (not sure if that is close to you). DaleGG from SS is very reputable also (especially with Trusts) and although not in Qld has clients from across the country.

    Try Julia Hartman [email protected] or http://www.bantacs.com.au

    Cheers,

    Jo

    Mini,

    I was not scared off by Michael’s post; I don’t believe anyone should be scared off by anyone’s post. The whole idea is to read the posts, take in what you feel valuable and leave the rest; simple. As for the reason I was attracted to this thread, it was predominantly out of interest especially considering some very recent events…[Read more]

    I’m sorry but after reading the information of the provided link, repeatedly, I STILL cannot fathom the correlation between the need for Workers Comp insurance and residential property owners cover for tenants!!!

    The ONLY section that even HINTS to have some merit is:

    If the answer is no then pay it or don’t own property in this state.

    Why waste emotional energy fighting it or complaining? Turn your effort to something a little more productive.

    If the answer is yes then change it and everyone will be happy [biggrin]

    Michael,

    What an awesome post!!! [thumbsupanim]

    I am not a property developer; I never have been, nor do I intend to be (well not in the immediate future). Why??? Because I agree wholeheartedly with you; I too have seen many “developer” friends go from owning a hefty portfolio to (some, not all) near bankrupt, those that survived are currently…[Read more]

  • Monopoly replied to the topic Making Money is easy !!! in the forum General Property 19 years ago

    Hey Resi,

    It may be a simplistic view but really I guess the fundamentals of “making money” generally are, that is, people do it (make money) all the time; they sell stuff, or more everyday-ish, they go to work and MAKE money. No great mysteries there!!!

    The key IMO is not “how to make money” but once made “how to sustain wealth” that needs to…[Read more]

  • Monopoly replied to the topic Moved out of PPOR – is it an IP? in the forum Help Needed! 19 years ago

    Thinker,

    Relax, you will be CGT exempt because:

    a) as part of the FHOG you would have had to claim it as your PPOR to be eligible

    b) you are renting where you are hence not claiming another place as your PPOR and beside, from my understanding, you were RELOCATED because of work hence there is not so much onus place on what is and what is not…[Read more]

    Seriously, as long as you do your homework, research the area well, check it out thoroughly and then if the numbers stack up and you feel that its worthwhile then go for it.
