    Western un fortunately not, but it approx 2,000 grand a year, it’s the same owners since 1953.

    But to me the some add up, it’s kind of our first step apart from our i/p unit.

    So onward & upward :)

    Hello all :)

    Reelygood1 or someone here, what constitutes a “penthouse”?

    I clicked the link, admit fantastic views etc etc, but to me personally what I seen didnt appear to be a penthouse.

    Not critising here, if you can help and correct my view be appreciated.

    Cheers

    Hello Nigel, kp & Westan,

    Thanks for the above info for a start :)

    Is the USA I/P subject to the same tax benefits here? i.e. Australia

    Are you able to fly to USA once a year to check on i/p and claim that expense?

    If you sell the property in the USA and bring the money back to Aussie will that be subjected to another tax?

    Just trying to learn as much as possible aka >> da novice :)

    Surrey,

    If I read correct Devine did the cross over originally? then to me they are at fault, they should know the boundaries and had all council approved.

    Personally I would be chasing devine up to rectify their work, and you not too pay out of your pocket.

    Cheers

    Kelly,

    I am fairly new here and was in the same position as you too, but as you say it’s hard but not impossible :)

    This week I have found two positive geared properties alone, wont tell you exactly where they are because still in nego the price.

    Keep going and searching.

    Can give you a little tip, when searching for example realestate.com, click on the agents and also go through their personal listing, you maybe surprised.

    Good luck [biggrin]

    Hello West,

    I am also interested in the US & Singapore markets :).

    Just wondering did you see the housing reports on CNN the other day. I missed the full coverage and just caught the highlights, dont want to be a wet blanket, but indicators that they are in for a heavier downturn than the Aussie property market.

    Just want to know your views on this, and if you could p/m the forum to me to be appreciated. ( why cos I normally go against the grain)

    Cheers :)

    Brahms,

    I totally agree with you there too:) I have been lucky and had the same tenants ( wait for it for 17 yrs ), I have renovated the unit for them in that time, and the last job was fly screens.

    [biggrin] Bunnings being my second home, and dont mind getting involved, very easy to knock up fly screens, and keep everyone happy. (tax deduct.)

    I read above its a buisness deal, I agree there too, but its also good to crate a win / win situation. And as with business the environment also changes and i.e repairs need to be done.

    I believe minor repairs or add ons as such is not really a huge capital expense.

    I rent and still do, and also landlord, so have a clear perception of both sides of the fence.

    If tennants can make your i/p more homely, and you are responsive to needs within reason, then you are in line for success. i.e. better / long term / respectful tennants.

    Cheers :)
