Traditionally real estate agents represent the vendor (seller) and as such get the best terms for them. A buyer agent is someone who represents the buyer and tries to locate properties for them whilst also negotiating the best terms for the buyer. Saves busy people having to locate property.

Of course you can just as easily locate the…[Read more]

I believe if you transfer the properties, from your name, into a trust you will also be up for CGT. Maybe someone else can clear this up.

It all depends on the lending institution.

Whether or not to get mortgage insurance is a personal matter I think. Obviously if you have a larger deposit and thus don’t have to incur LMI costs this is better. Sometimes though saving up the…[Read more]

If the property isn’t your PPOR and you sell within a year you will have to pay CGT on 100% of the profit. If you hold the property for longer than one year you only pay CGT on 50% of the profits.

The rate at which the CGT…[Read more]

It’ll save you countless emails and time wasted waiting for email responses. You can also guage the agents mannerisms far better over the phone than through email.

Once you have got all the facts and numbers you should come out with a definite figure that tells you if you are +ve or -ve. From this value you should calculate you cash on cash return which will give you the yield. It is then up to you to decide whether the yield is high enough (you can do this by comparing to a term deposit or…[Read more]

1) Find her another place to move into with cheaper rents.
2) Offer her some money to move. Whether this be cash or letting her keep owed rent.

I’m assuming that your friend MUST move into the unit?

However it is true that if you have good tenants you may deem it beneficial to forego some rent so as to keep the current tenants.

See if there is any leasing arrangement with the local mining company.

So don’t include that as cash outgoings in your calculations.

In the first year you can rent your PPOR out, get the FHOG and then move into it before the end of the first year. So you get say 11 months rent + FHOG.

May be an alternative?
