I had engaged a conveyancer obviously they failed to provide one service they are supposed to. Can you please point me to any lawyer or share a number and I am happy to talk through ? Best regards

I had purchased an investment property in Victoria in 2018. The selling agency had an open and had put out brouchers explaining the huge STCA potential printed on the broucher with a land size of 798 sqm with a house on it – I went ahead and bought it.

I have since owned the property since then and decided to sell now to upgrade my PPOR.…[Read more]

I recently bought a house on a 780 sqm block in Pakenham.

The house is a small 3 BR leaving it with a 15m x 25m back yard.

I am planning to subdivide the land and built a town house or a unit in the rear yard.

I am not quite sure where to start this process and how to go about it.

What should be my first step?

How much further…[Read more]

How do you mean to split down the loan?

My deposit payment is due in 2 weeks.

I currently have 150k in my offset account and two home loans. One is my PPOR and other is IP.

I am looking to buy another IP for which I would require 75k funds.

I have two options –

1. Use 75k out of my 150k from offset account deposited directly to the vendor
2. Deposit 75k into my PPOR IO account and re draw thus it becomes tax…[Read more]

40k is accessible equity sitting in my LOC account.

Q – is using the LOC on existing PPOR the best way to move forward for upgrading it?

Thanks

I have been forwarded few projects that are under construction in India for IT majors assuring 18% returns and stable capital increase.
