Has anyone heard of Loanmarket?I've had a bad experience with them and applied for a loan 1 month ago. Firstly i was told that i didn't qualify with Rams because i was employed for 10 months. Then, he said that i could apply with Bankwest. A few weeks had passed by and then he told me that we had to apply for the loan ourselves. I asked him if he…[Read more]

Try googling valuer, make sure they are qualified and hold indemnity insurance.

I think depreciation items and building is depreciatiable at 2.5% but it all depends on the circumstances etc. If you were to repair and maintain your investment make sure you do this with a tenant. Some things are tax deductible, dont over do it thou.  Just to confirm what I've said, talk to a savvy accountant who has property investments.

Hi there, have you checked the residential code with council? If so, then divide that into 10,000 (standard number) that will give you the size of your lot.eg. Residential Code 20 divide into 10,000=5000 square metres.Good luck.

You are absolutely right, the only dif is the land tax concession.

Hi Terry, its a property investment trust, not hybrid. Yeah, totally agree, firstly confirm with the ATO.

I also would suggest it is not wise to buy an appreciating asset in a company as you lose the 50% CGT reduction for assets held over 12 months – which could cap your tax at half of the top marginal rate of 46%. 23% is less than the company rate of 30%.And you certainly should not buy in the same company you trade with. Businesses are often sued,…[Read more]
