I’ve been struggling to sell in this market full of negative media.

I had a contract on my property for $510k. Buyer asked for cooling off extension then I received an email today that the bank will only lend 80% of $480k. They said they are short $25k which they don’t have.

Any ideas how to negotiate this?

And a discretionary trust for properties. I will then be able to protect myself & property from any business problems? And still be able to get negative gearing benefits?(this situation seems perfect to me)2) if I put my business into a company structure it will get taxed at 30%. Does this mean I will…[Read more]

I agree, I need a new accountant. This firm is new for me and hopeless! The $50 Indian guy I used last year was better :-((The accountant is actually in the firm that…[Read more]

Never returned my phone calls. The 3rd time the secretary was pretty rude about me asking why I wasn't getting any calls back.If this is how they run their front end, I think I'll give them a miss.I heard they were good, but I guess they market the best with seminars, etc.Josh

I can’t see any other choice.

But she will likely carry the rest so there would be no money down. Unfortunately I do not want to use all my borrowing capacity for this deal.

But for another it may work. You can make it more attractive by offering rent credits or any other sweetner you can think of and it may suit them.

I guess you should work out what you need yourself, then try and create various scenarios that you could offer.

You could add $50 a week to the rent and make the option $430k on a 2 year option. That seems reasonable to me.

What would you need to know?
