We plan to live in both the granny flat and the house for a period of time. If we then rent out the granny flat are we CGT exempt for the next 6 years? We plan to do a series of renovations over a long period of time to the main house, thereby changing the value of the property at several points…[Read more]

Does anyone know if you have an existing very small house on a block in NSW, could I make that the granny flat (as long as it met sqm and other requirements) and then build a separate new house? I know you can’t just build a granny flat on a block of land without an existing house so I’m not sure whether it would be feasible.
Thanks…[Read more]

The person we purchased from told us that the stormwater runs through a number of neighbouring properties to a large drain in the lane way. In addition a neighbour further up the hill has their stormwater pipes coming through our yard. None of this is on title or anywhere in the…[Read more]

My brother is not a US citizen, he is a permanent resident. Just a few questions additional questions:Does the LLC need to be in the state where the property is purchased or can it be in any state? Can you outline the reasons why you suggest it be set up in Nevada? Are you saying t…[Read more]

Also, if you have only just gone on maternity leave and your payslip is still current, then you may be able to get a full doc. When I went on maternity leave I took my last pay slip…[Read more]

From my understanding, if you have presented a bank cheque it should clear straight away, but I might be wrong. There is normally a penalty clause in the contract which outlines a rate of interest you pay if you don't settle in time. This is normally…[Read more]

You both asked me about the walls, suggesting painting the walls or asking about  the wall colour. The wood panelling IS the walls. Sorry, I must have made it sound like it was something else, the ceiling perhaps? The whole walls are made of this stuff! So it is this very dark colour all the way up the…[Read more]

There are many pitfalls but its not impossible. The other option you might want to condider is to go into joint venture with a developer.

My situation was a little different in that I was single and that probably provided me with a little more flexibility.

I use Southland RE. One of the PM’s there is Evan. He is okay. I haven’t had any monthly bills like that come through in the 18mnths I’ve had my IP, but you have to push him a bit to get things going on occasions ie. he isn’t terribly proactive.

Sat 14th in Parramatta is good for me. I have had a couple of PMs about it. Please PM me if you are interested in attending. I will organise a time and location (somewhere in Parramatta), so at least we can get it off the ground. Kurra or Easymoney, can at least one of you help me organise this?

Once off to start and maybe regularly after that. The aim would be to get together anyone who is interested in buying cash flow positive properties in the US?
