Any other suggestions for Qld (Brissie/Sunshine Coast) based solicitors familiar with commercial property conveyancing. (I had a look at Certus Legal, family and kids photos, suggest to me they are resi focused.) thanx

Thank you Corey. Yes, I would agree – that ruling has major implications for property held in a SMSF. Rethink of strategy even. thank you for sharing.

Scott & Corey – can you please expand on “compulsory drawings”. What would happen if you don’t spend as much as somebody else wants you too?

what is your prediction for Mackay Region prices? Going down in next 12 to 24 months, neutral, or on the rise in next 12 to 24 months?

South Coast NSW? Love the area. All those roadworks, north and south of Nowra are just making the region closer to Sydney. There has been a bump up in prices I notice, Nowra, Ulladulla and Batemans Bay plus other

offer to split the cost 50/50 perhaps? It will improve the quality of the property and the tenant can subsidise the enhancements

I have two grandfathers that were bank managers, my dad was a bank manager, my mum worked in the bank, so did a sister-in-law.
But from my experience, it’s use a broker every time.
I have a good relationship with Michael and George at http://www.alphamortgagemanagers.com.au
My nephew has another in North Sydney that he can relate to.

Plus a strategy to reduce risk – it to spread different loans with different lenders. Which a broker can do.
All loans and all security with one bank? No thank you.

No. But I do have experience moving a telegraph pole for a driveway in Sydney. Long, long, long process, similar to DA process, with requirements for certified designers, Council approval and certified contractors, 9 month process, with more than 20 stages.

Hi Scott – the plan is to negotiate a lease with a tenant – build it to their finish specs – and keep it as a going concern. There is a screaming big billboard on the highway and a listing on allhomes.

interesting formula to arrive at a final figure – I punched the numbers in excel and got a different number.
3433 x 1.2 x .85% (efficiency) /90sqm x 197,000 per unit = 1,500,000

If you are not sure on the value – and you do want to sell – why not invest in a professional valuation?

Wow! Lots of good advice in the above posts. I would agree with all the sentiments. Only thing i would add is – write a Business Plan – in this instance a Commercial Property Business Plan – with a whole bunch of specifics. On the advice of Steve McNight – I did – and i found the process gave me tremendous focus for the journey.
