Went thru about 5 brokers and that was the best they could get me.
Thankfully the default drops off my rating mid next year so for me its a starting point.

well the way i see it is if you dont claim depreciation you pay $12125 in CGT when you sell.
So overall CGT would be $12125

If u claimed $7k depreciation at the marginal tax rate of 48.5c in the dollar then you would save $3395 in personal tax per year over the 5 years
ie $3395 x 5years is $16975 in personal tax savings over the…[Read more]

Mm 2 cents worth.
I think its much better to leave rents where they are for a stable/longterm tennant.Then when they do decide to move on then increase the rental rate to the market value or whatever price you want.

Maybe ask your tennant that you need to increase the rent but in return you will do some improvement to the property. Kill 3…[Read more]
