Hi Tonia,

If you do decide to sell it, you may consider doing so before the 2 year ownership anniversary date (since it was is transferred to you) in which time (if memory serves me correctly) you will be exempted from Capital Gains Tax as it was an inheritance.

Cheers,

Hi SF,

You are very right, in that image, is a key factor especially when doing business. In everyday life, it may not be so important, as your friends and family will know/accept/love you regardless of your attire, but to a client who knows nothing about you other than how you present to them, how you look speaks volumes.

Years ago, when I was…[Read more]

Salicious,

My apologises, I was under the misguided impression, rather I made the assumption that the properties in question, were in joint names, and as such, was of the opinion that your wife could declare the profits as part of her return. As this may not be the case, ie. they are in your name solely, then this CANNOT be done…..if that were…[Read more]

Me, the boardgame, or Real Estate?????????

If you don’t have qualifications/degrees, then you’ll definitely need something special.. good people skills, good communication skills.. and GOOD LUCK.

Partly true Newgen, but IMO regardless of whether someone has that bit of paper to justify their existence [blink] (please no offense intended here to anyone with a degree, this…[Read more]

Hi Salicious,

First I agree with Derek on all 3 points, especially (if possible) not to sell them all in the one financial year, thus avoiding the huge taxable income bill you will be faced with if you do sell them all at once.

But if you must, then I suggest (if you can) get your wife to put the profit from sales into her return, as she earns,…[Read more]

Your avatar Lizzy:
A real “blondie” nah just kidding, someone young, (maybe blonde) but definitely female; nothing more, nothing less.

Good to hear,

Without knowing all the legalities/rules etc for FHOG it would be wrong of me to say for sure, as my info is not accurate, however please seek expert opinion in this matter. As your brother is buying into the property as well, no doubt he will be arranging legal paperwork, so ask your solicitor at the time about the possibilties…[Read more]

Hi gattaga,

Will you be living in the property? If the answer is no, then I can’t say for sure, but I believe to qualify you have to actually be living in the property and not just own it (or part thereof).

Cheers,

Jo

Hey there SIS,

Here’s a tenancy agreement of a different kind, that may put a smile on your face at the same time.

I am a tenant…..

I paid entry costs (or at least my parents did) when I arrived to my new place of residence, I will have to pay on termination of my lease, and am continuing to pay all the way through (i.e. taxes, bills, food,…[Read more]

Enough already Rob/iamborediambored, why must you be so vicious???

Absolutely!!!

And you are more than free to speak your mind, draw from your experiences and state your case, however insults and inciting comments are both disrespectful and unwarranted.

IMO correct forum etiquette is expected and appreciated by all who participate on this webiste.

Jo

Hey Celivia,
Does that mean Gatsby have won your heart???[inlove][inlove]

How sweet !!!!!!

Jo

Congrats Lucifer_au, [thumbsupanim]

You certainly deserve a prize; that’s a commendable number of posts!!! Well done!!!! BTW if you could to pick one, what sort of prize would you like????? [blink][tongue][upsidedown]

Cheers,

Jo

Thanks Fluffy,

I appreciate your reply, and even though I have gotten burnt (literally….LOL) I don’t see any harm in what you and others do as a “nice gesture”. I am sceptical as I have already outlined, and although I always try to be pleasant to my PMs, thesedays I am a bit more reserved about how close I get to them as well.

Anyway, happy…[Read more]
