The likelihood of rents rising is inevitable (in the long run) as they cannot stagnate forever, however I do not believe the increases will be overnight….that is, you’re not going to see a house renting for $200 one week, and then $300 the next!!! Whatever happens the increase in rents, and rates, and house prices, and and and…[Read more]
Having the cents sense to know when to stop (or at least take a break) is a crucial part of being a smart and definitely “serious” investor!!! Good on you, for knowing/realising your limits and acting wisely, unlike so many amateur investors who overcommit and then cry “boo hoo poor me” [bawl]when they crash and burn!!!!
Aussiemike, [idea] You clever little vegemite you!!!!! [juggle] [laugh4][laugh4]
Seriously though, (out of curiousity) would your body corp regs not also extend this exemption say to cover someone who was “sight impaired” thereby allowing them to have a guide dog???
I stand corrected, terribly sorry mrsimba, I forgot you were referring to apartment living, and as such Kay Henry is quite correct; it is not an individual landlord matter; you need to consult with your body corp.
Please forgive the oversight on my part……Knew I should’ve got that new eye-glass perscription filled!!!!…[Read more]
Gotta laugh at the movie scripts whenever they make a weak attempt at the ever-corny “lonely housewife flirts or seduces tradesman when he comes to fix……”[blush2][][blush2][][blush2]
Yeah right!!!!! Very realistic!!!! What they forget is……the guy has to show up first, doesn’t he????? [blink][blink][blink]
Did you say “fleas-ible“???? [laugh4] Just kidding!!! [lmao]
Yes I agree, I think it is feasible, however as Auspop said, not too many landlords like the idea of pets!! Some landlords are okay with it, but you would need to check with them first!
As today is still within the 2003/2004 fiscal year, you will need to include the income from the sale to your 2003/2004 tax return!!!! Regardless of when you settle!! [blush2]
When you actually PAY it will depend on when you lodge your return, and if you have a tax representative do it for you (i.e. accountant or tax agent) you…[Read more]
VICTORIANS:
The `3 day cooling off period’ does not apply to properties bought at Auctions. It only applies to private sales, HOWEVER if you take the Section 32 to your solicitor for perusal, the cooling off period becomes NULL & VOID (Conveyancers are okay though).
TIP
Remember a shorter settlement is often an invaluable bargaining tool…[Read more]

No I agree, one doesn’t have to retire and just sit back, and do nothing. Certainly keeping busy is the way to stay fit and healthy; but to assume that because one wants to retire or is making plans to do so, doesn’t mean they are going to just sit and wait for death to come and collect them either!!!!

As any investor will tell you NOW is NOT the time to run!!! As the others have said, why not use the equity you have available to you and make good use of what is at present the “buyers market” ???
Investing is not for the faint hearted, whether it be shares or property, it all takes time, and of course there will always be up and down…[Read more]
