ayse,

A good way of finding one is to search this forum & look for who people have recommended in the past.

We have most through trust structures & a few in personal name.

Yack, buy Dale’s book. It will answer your questions.

Start with the ABS.

Then look at local council sites.

That way you ensure the quality of the information. Google has links to a lot of outdated & inaccurate information.

Diane,

Have your friend visit IPAustralia & read up.

Remember at the end of the day if he tells no-one & never actualises his idea, holding rights to the name is worthless anyway. You have to take a risk sometimes – just ensure it’s calculated!

Yawn

Terry, since you’re so negative about it I suggest you sell your your assets immediately & retire to a commune where you will not be effected by the coming crash.

Rates go up, rates go down. Serious investors make money.

And no, you can’t help everyone who makes a bad decision. THEY have to decide to do their…[Read more]

Go Lisa,

You’ve definitely begun looking at the decision from the right perspective. Understanding how the other person wins out of the deal is crucial to working out your own negotiating position.

I reckon you made the right decision.

In reality rents & property values can be expected to rise over the mid-long term provided there remains a…[Read more]

The prospect of another interest rate rise grew yesterday when official figures revealed Australians owe an average of $53,800 each – or a record total of $1.07 trillion.

Well I’m happy to write out a cheque for my family’s $215K debt – anyone else prepared to come to the party?

SPAM, I asked my crystal ball if interest rates would reach that 9%…[Read more]

jhighlo2001,

In this instance you got burnt – and learnt a lot.

Unfortunately sometimes you just have to put these things down as a learning experience & move forward.

Many people do fall for these scams – very few ever visit a property forum. You have at least, begun educating yourself & that will greatly improve your ability to succeed as an…[Read more]

Sounds like a great business Sunshine….you could franchise that sort of thing

Here’s the details for the next BIG (Brisbane Investor Group) meetings. They’re quite a fun crowd…I think around 50-60 people regularly attend…

BTW: They’ve got Ian Somers (aka Jan’s other half) on the panel…as well as other luminaries like Kevin Hockey & Larysa (they’re great…[Read more]

Grega,

Go talk to Steve Navra (www.navrainvest.com.au). He has some creative (and legal) solutions for situations when you’re cashflow poor and equity rich.

Acey,

Acey, why wouldn’t you ever distribute to a company? What if you had no other beneficiaries left under a 30% tax rate. ie: single high income earners. (is it because of the difficulty of getting money out of a company without being taxed?)

Do you think that the risk mitigation benefits you mention will remain…[Read more]

I’m with you yack average people don’t make big money from short term investing/trading. Yet i know many who have made over 1/2 million in the past few years in property.

No problems Westan & Yack – do what works for you

contract,

As you have now made the comments public I suggest you do the right thing.

Do you think that the ATO doesn’t monitor forums to look for people who are doing dodgy things!

There was recently quite a big scandal in Australia with some prominent people who were hiding money in swiss bank accounts. They got caught.

Talk to a good…[Read more]

Caz,

I reckon it sounds like a lousy deal – just pass the details on to me and forget about it [biggrin]

bennido,

I live in Canberra & use Dale.

I know people in NSW, WA, QLD & Japan who all use Dale.

I’m sorry that he lives too far away from you [biggrin]

If you want to use the best, use the best.

Waz,

Yes you can do it. I do it.

There’s some good discussions both here and at Somersoft on the topic if you do a search.

It’s like any other IP….you can even furnish it
