Just want to update that I have checked the “splitting of one disc trust into 2 ” with my accountant.
He said it won’t work as the land tax man knows to “regroup” the 2 sub-trusts and would calculate the landtax on top of the total value.
Also as I am in Bris, he said the tax free threshold in Qld for trust is very minimum for…[Read more]

Regarding your “Point 1” can you confirm (or not) my understanding:
Currently I have 2 properties owned by the same Fam Trust and hence suffer from the compounding regime, huge land tax bill!!!
So to applying your point 1, if the trust sells 1% of one property to me then these two props are treated as having 2 different owner entities…[Read more]

Yes that was the hardest loan we have ever had and it did work out very well for us. Our hard work plus a few “right decisions at the right time” have placed us in a quite confortable position now….

In general the interview panel wants to know how you can add value to their organisation, how well you fit in to their team, and as things change quickly in the IT world they want to know if you are a keen and quick learner with a cando attitude.

You said
“Being soft and too generous is not fair on yourself. It’s also not fair on the other person because you are creating the opportunity for them to do the wrong thing. That’s why I say I don’t care about how much people complain, as long as I know that what I’m doing is right. Which of course it isn’t always, but it is what I aim…[Read more]

Do you bank with NAB as well and did you have it for your last big IP ??

When my son was 9 yrs old I was too busy to play a game of chess with him ( I still remember clearly his disappointed face when he kept “pestering” me to play with him, but I had 1001 other things to do (including wealth creation) and hence said “no”…).

I read my previous post again and thought it sounded a bit negative about Ben. So just want to clarify that I did not mean Ben would not be able to help you or others …..only my situation he could not do much and he clearly said so.
