G’Day Folks,
Funny how ‘De-ja-vous’ (if that is spelled correctly!) strikes. I had a discussion with a local on last Saturday Night regarding just this topic (oil/fuel/power shortages) and this guy knows of a bunch of old-timers that were very young men in WWII where they were making fuels from Wheat, potatoes and such wonderful garden vegetables.…[Read more]

Hi all,
just got off the phone with the FHOG mob (talked to the ATO and they hand-balled me over to these lovely people). Cindy confirmed with her supervisor that, should I fullfill all the requirements of the FHOG selection criterion AND the Duplex is on ONE TITLE, that they can see no reason why I would not be elegible for the grant while…[Read more]

I’m in contact with the ATO. Awiting their response!
watch this space!

Forgive my naiivety, but aren’t all duplexes on a single title – as in, is that not the way that they are built? The Mortgage Adviser Posted – 14/06/2004 : 15:36:59

If it is on single title, you will have no problem
I was of the opinion (dangerous, I know) that duplexes are built on a larger block (for legal reasons) to accomodate the duplex…[Read more]

Hi all,
I have tried to buy 11 properties sofar, 9 – O&A wasn’t accepted (went to someone else), 1 – didn’t budge on price and was way over its economic worth (11 sec rule and CoC, etc) and the last one didn’t go thru to settlement Thank Goodness for that. What a night mare! DO building inspections – best money I have spent so far!).
I’m not sure…[Read more]

If the house is indeed your PPOR then there is no CGT payable for the duration of time you live in it. This period of time can be extended by up to six years if you move out and do not own another PPOR during this time.

Hi Derek, I don’t understand this concept. Could you elaborate, please.

I’d say he was shot, then made his way into his car, locking the doors in the hope of stopping further assault while on his way to the hospital.
AS in: he was shot outside, removed himself from danger but died before he got help.

Hows that?

G’Day Rob,
unlike the REI websites for other states, WA’s is very useful! If I get this right, try this link http://www.reiwa.com.au/content-suburb-30year-trends-detail.cfm?ID=35
just for a bit of extra info (useless or otherwise). I am frequently frustrated when trying to get the same info from other states REI websites and everything costs $$. I…[Read more]

HI,

Sooo ….. just put in the offer of $45K subject to “Satisfactory building inspection” and “Clearance of Termite inspection”, and of corse subject to finance. I wouldn’t tell them I…[Read more]

I worked for a bank (before I saw the light) and it was part of our job to match our customers with the correct “product”. Lending has always been separate part of the business. Infact it is their main business.
While I started they appeared to realise the true income potential of credit cards, so we had to push them, :”personalloan for $7K. WHy…[Read more]

Hi all,
a friends house burn down just recently and , being in a remote area in north WA, we have no salvage yards. My friends were told that as an insurance job, it would cost approx. $100K to remove the old house before they can rebuild! I took this as a learning item for when I get my first home, to have it valued for removal and rebuild!…[Read more]

Hi all,

wow, oneday I’ll grow up and know what all of you are talking about. I feel kinda stoopid now, thinking that CoCR had to do with the $$ put into the next house you bought! Anything at all used to purchase that IP that comes from my property/savings/loan/etc would go into the CoCR. Then it would tell me if I was using my “INPUT” for the…[Read more]

[blink]Morning Brad.
The twelve months you reffer to, are they related to the first home owners grant? Because you would only need to ‘live’ in the house for 6 months (refer to Steves analysis of the refrased legislation in one of the past three news letters).
Furhter, if there is such a growth, why sell? Wy not build (one then the other @ a later…[Read more]

I think, for the sake of a balanced approach, people should be aware there are other opinions out there and they are not just being negative, they are providing an alternative viewpoint to the kinds of strategies you and your “fans” subscribe to.

WOw, I didn’t realise that there are other oppinions out there. Certainly aven’t found anyone dis…[Read more]

Try http://www.dolfderoos.com for his REAP software (Real Estate Acquisition Programme) it’s an advanced version of PIA and you can add a picture and send it in pdf format. It will provide you with graphs, internal rates of return, cash on cash etc.

Sorry but I had a quick look at this as I’m interested in this and I believe it is…[Read more]

Hi there,
try the PIA software from Jan Somers. Although she isn’t openly into +ve cashflow properties, she really inspects and evaluates her properties using this software. It coasts about $250.00 but it is supposed to be very good. I have it and I am still learning its full potential. If this works, try this link (?) or just cut and past the…[Read more]

Morning Marc1,
just a quickie –
First find out where your daughter is at! What do they want? If they want your help, proceed to point two, “otherwise just hang up……”
Then involve the other two daughters to help ‘coach’ or come up with ideas on how to over come the situation. Whaqt to do next kinda thing – reminding them that they would…[Read more]

How good it is to know that the light at the end of the tunnel is NOT a train but heavenly open sky!
I want to get a head but all work and no play is not for me. I’ll go bonkers inside 6 months.
Just cheered me up some! Yesir.

Easy, I should have read this and learned its principles as soon as I received pocket money!
