Sorry, but I cannot help but think that is immoral, and goes against the spirit of the ‘leg up’. [V]

In regard to KP, how many thousands of people does his companies/ businesses etc. employ that are paying tax ?

I dont think your anology is credible, as I for one dont begrudge him paying minimal tax because of the above.

Maybe this is the reason I pay so much in tax [!]

There are consistantly over 100 rental properties available, of which 99% are in town.

Investors are buying here for neg. gearing predominantly.(now days)

I have seen good rental prospects (price-location) with a sign out the front for over 2 months.

A large REA in town has recently written letters to landlords with vacant property to advise…[Read more]

Anubis, I disagree strongly, I can name 10 smallish towns around here that unless you can find a place privately ‘you have got a snow flakes chance in hell’ of finding something to rent. Its cut throat allright to GET something to rent!

In my city (50000) there is always around a hundred vacancies advertised every week, and the prices to buy…[Read more]

In my opinion you missed this boat, for large capital gains, ie. if you buy know your buying at the near top of the wave.

To be brutally honest get your finances in order, and see how things look after your partner has been posted and working for a while, because that should put you in a better position to take advantage of property in a…[Read more]

>If the house sells at this price of 125K, then if the market pays it, that is market price.

I would change the term “market” to desperate or uninformed.

I doubt wether Forbes has had an ‘undervalued’ property for about two years, its been well and truley picked over.

From a country point of view, if city people are all cashed up and…[Read more]

>Underground is Coober Pedy. Lightning Ridge is a little damper and to live underground would lead to pneumonia so I was told.

Not to mention cave-ins which are regular after heavy rain. Not sure about the pneumonia, if you were fit and healthy.

Opal prices have fallen steadily for some time now and since opal was the main reason for the ridge…[Read more]

Tracey, maybe you could put up a list of terms your not familiar with and someone will explain, or you could search thru archives.

>While on the subject, is $550.00 a normal type of price to pay for a valuation.

I think that is grossly overpriced, I recently paid $230 and via my bank (stg) they charge $185.

I would have thought for $550 he should have let you put your own price down, because I dont think he has morals anyway!

Many of my doctors choose to structure this way.’

You mush be very sick to need many doctors, I would also be concerned that they are worried about litigation, you better check their credentials, OH you meant that many of your clients are Drs [] (if not get well soon [] )

Mortgage Hunter, do you have an opinion or knowledge on the cost of changing to tenants in common as opposed to removing name altogether?

BC

I’m know someone smarter than me will give a definitive answer but until such time, my understanding is that there is two ways to complete a contract, one is as normally as wife and husband (joint tenants) or as partners ie.
friends, family etc but also as wife and husband, (tenants in common) the advantage of this is it allows you to assign a…[Read more]

What about the cost and difficulty of changing from ‘joint tenants’ to ‘tenants in common’ with a 90% to 10% split (or any combination), maybe this would be a cheaper option for you.
