  • pigs fly replied to the topic What is reasonable advertisng cost when selling??? in the forum Help Needed! 17 years, 4 months ago

    I do not see any justification to charge a commission and advertising expenses. Agents are working for them selves! If they are paid a commission-then advertising is a part of their operating costs or it should come out of the commission when the property is sold. Especially if you are locked up with an exclusive listing that guarantees them a…[Read more]

    I just thought I would confirm Colin’s statement about kissing the next two year off if you sue.

    I sued National Builders Group through VCAT over a building contract dispute.

    They are now attempting to appeal this decision. So I’m expecting it will take an extra year or two?

    Very interesting- I purchased a commercial property with no out clauses. I had all finance approved, however the vendor wanted the sale to fall over because he had been offered an extra $50k. I ran very close to not meeting the deadline due to the bank dragging the chain.

    I asked for an extra day or two for the bank to transfer the funds-the…[Read more]

    I am sure you can invest it into property, however what you may be overlooking is, the $20,000 is an asset and the cost of the property is an asset so it does not become a deductible expense.
    The interest on loans to buy the property and running costs are the deductions.

    Check with your accountant again!!!

    They did not bother to get a simple council information report and here is the result.

    The final price would have been $10,000+ per square.

    In my case their response was unless…[Read more]
