    I am also looking for a competent property manager on the gold coast. Have been through about 5 to date and all have been next to useless.  Did you follow up re this recommendation Angelcake?  What was the outcome?

    Marc, thanks so much for taking the time to reply.  Your advice (as usual) makes a lot of sense.  I might just start investigating some property purchasing possibilities.  I didn't mention it, but I have also started investing directly in shares.  Just pocket money at this stage while I'm learning, but it all adds up (plus I can still sleep at  night).
    thanks again

    This is exactly what has happened to me Terryw and it is SO annoying. Maybe members have a great accountant they could recommend? I’m looking for a good one in the Brisbane city area. Am totally sick of doing their work for them and getting charged a premium, not to mention never receiving any advice or recommendations on better ways to manage the $$ (BTW it is my understanding that you can submit claims against previous tax years – I intend to to do it for last financial year as I’ve now discovered I’m entitled to a rebate for dental and medical expenses – no thanks to my accountant!).
    So – any fabulous accountants in Brisbane anyone?
    (sorry folks, hope it works better this time!)
