We’ll start the day with our 3 daughters, their partners and our 7 Grandchildren all coming around and i will play Santa.[xmas]
We will then have our customary champagne breakfast, ham and eggs on the BBQ with champagne and orange juice, then some time spent with the kids and their new Xmas presents.
We usually then have a game of Bocce or something similar, great fun as we are all a little tipsy by this stage[wacko], then a rest from the alcohol for a while.
Xmas dinner is usually a smorgosboard affair with whomever of our family is spending the rest of the day with us.A few cold beers etc and maybe some more bocce or cricket. Then maybe[sleepy2]
Usually a great day is had by all.

Redwing,Thanks for the link to exelaustralia.
I have been looking for a new program to use for a while now, something user friendly. Checked out the rentalworkbook site and it seems to be just what i am looking for, purchased the program and will work with it for a while.
There is a 30 day guarantee so i have some time to evaluate the program.

I also would be interested in hearing the answers to Jacob’s questions. I saw my accountant today to organise my tax return for the year.I asked her if i could claim a deduction for any books and magazines about property investing and wealth creation and also seminars i have been to during the year. She seems to think as they are not directly related to earning income they are not allowable as a deduction.Has anyone had any experience claiming these items or any info that may be beneficial?.

Originally posted by pelican:Luke,
I gather by your tone of your message, Logan is beneath you, and, you have contempt for others opinions…. Please read what has been mentioned…..
If you have read the Draft SEQ regional plan, you would clearly see that Logan is an area that will get some needed attention going forward……
No one has mentioned that logan is paradise at the moment…… BUT gains are there to be made if you are on the ground and looking around……. I say this, because the Pelicans have actually done very nicely in the area…… and not from wraps… but buy n hold……
Cheers
ScottI totally agree, we have our PPOR and 2 IPS in Logan. During the last 5 years a lot of people have made a lot of money from investing in property in the Logan area, and correct me if i am wrong, but isn’t that is what it is all about.
Maybe, plproperty, you should slow down next time you drive through Logan and have a good look at what is really happening here.

After listening to and reading all the fors and againsts and all the media hype etc etc, i find i can not say to myself whether i think she is 100% guilty or innocent.I do believe she was let down by her defence team and the Australian authorities and if she is innocent a terrible injustice has occured.My first reaction was, along with thousands of others, to want to hurt this country as much as possible by financial means by boycotts etc. After thinking about the situation i have changed my mind on this as i believe this action will not help her cause any at all and will only cause much hardship for people who have no say in this matter at all , Aussies who have business’s there included.Wanting donations for the tsunami disaster back is a sad reflection on us all as decent Australians as this is a totally separate issue.

My opinion is if the figures are good, the property is sound after the pest & building inspections, you are happy with the current tenants and you feel comfortable about the purchase go for it.
