  • bigben replied to the topic Cut Down Tree…Tax Deduction?? in the forum Help Needed! 19 years, 12 months ago

    Hi Again,
    Thanks for the thoughts.
    Let me clarify: The tree is probably on the boundary of the 2 properties and mostly on my side of the boundary as the base of the tree is around 1m diameter.
    its between a pair of gunbarrel houses that only have about 2 m between then as is so you could imagine the saga that will evolve when we are to remove…[Read more]

  • bigben replied to the topic Cut Down Tree…Tax Deduction?? in the forum Help Needed! 19 years, 12 months ago

    Yes that is what i thought however others have said not as it is not affectingthe rental income however i have been on the ATO website and i have to agree with you that it is basically maintenance and upkeep!
    Thanks

  • bigben replied to the topic Only in America in the forum Forum Frolic 20 years ago

    Well i for one believe that any of those stories could be true as just recently in NSW 2 people have been awarded damages in seperate cases
    1. Jumped off rocks into the ocean and hit his head on the bottom….sued the council as there was not a sign telling him not to do it??? go figure!
    2. Run into the surf and jumped into the water and hit his…[Read more]

  • bigben replied to the topic Ripped off or not ???? in the forum General Property 20 years, 3 months ago

    I am amazed that you would question this bill as it seems quite resonable to me. I have my own building company and also work for a larger building company and if i need to use an expensive piece of equipment that i dont always use then i charge for it wether i hire one or use my own equipment. I am a carpenter however if i need to use a bricksaw…[Read more]

    Hi Lee?
    thanks for the reply it seems that you have indeed been through this exact problem. The only other option that i have i guess is that we could buy another house in partnership using the equity in the joint house and i could keep that totally seperate from my other personal IP’s and treat it like a second side business? Can you forsee any…[Read more]

    Hi all,
    I have been reading many posts regarding this topic and i feel that there is to much panic and not enough thought.

  • bigben replied to the topic Bye Bye NSW Property Market (long) in the forum No Subject 20 years, 7 months ago

    It seems to me that a majority of people seem to be saying SELL SELL SELL if you have a ip in NSW.
    These must be the same people who wait for everybody to tell them there is a property boom and then they will buy!
    As some of the smarter investors on this forum have said opportunities arise in these situations not problems.
    I agree that the stamp…[Read more]

    BJB,
    Firstly i dont see anywher in my post where i said anything bagging Brad. I rekopn he is a really smart businessman.
