I think option (1) is the best way to go to avoid LMI.

I was thinking i might pay off the $26,000 owing on the IP and put those mortgage repayments as extra payments towards the new house. This would mean $10,000 to avoid LMI plus $26,000 pay out IP loan – leaving approx. $44,000 in hand. Does this make sense?

Yes…[Read more]

I am not qualified to give financial advise so the below is just my thoughts!

If you have held the property for over 12 months then you would only pay Capital Gains Tax on 50% of the Profit.

Depending on the way in which you contribute to Superannuation
also makes a difference ie Self Employed person would…[Read more]

You are expecting a builder to cover the 6 and half year warranty on the construction of two units which you will sell and walk away with a profit, leaving the builder to cover the warranty for the duration on works which you carried out!

I personally cannot see any builder falling for this option as there would not be…[Read more]
