G’Day melb15,
standard in commercial leases is the Tenant pays for it all!

So if you can get the Landlord take some of the cost that would be a win for you straight-away…

Good luck.

The contracts of sale are pretty basic and have no " Section 32" like here in Victoria. Everything is negotiable providing it's in the contract of sale…

Hi Francis,
I am not familiar with the “Section 32” can you elaborate on what it is and its purpose …

What are the rules and regulations for purchasing over in Tassie? It seems that each state has their own rules and ways of doing things and that can be a mine filed for the unwary …

We bought in QLD and that was very different to WA!

Question you need to ask yourself is:”are you happy where you are?” If so then pick the fights that are really important to you – if this is one of those then fight, if not then don’t.

Most newbies fall into the trap that ‘IF’ they have no savings, they are not able to show their savings capacity. Funnily, though, if you can show thta you have fully paid off your Unit (refer to your statements) that that is actually proof of savings! So let that one go, but you might need to point it out to the Bank once you…[Read more]

Hi WayneL2,
Are you still up at hedland? yeah, still here. it’s now nearly 11 years….. getting to old for this heat. Boodarie IRon closed up shop then I went to the Department of Health as an Inventory analys/ advisor – showed them how they are over stocked by about $750K which made the Regional Mnager happy as he found some easy savings, but…[Read more]

Been donkeys since I’ve had the time to read any threads, and I know that Dazz was goign AWOL, but has there been any resolution to this issue?

Have we heard anything from any-one else that might have picked up the ball and followed in Dazz’s giant foot-steps??

Hi there Tigre13,

you have asked a very broad question that can’t be simply answered.

If you do a search on ‘Trusts’ and ‘Company’ on this forum, you will find posts galore on this subject!

Once you’ve read some of those and have more of an idea you can formulate where you want to go and then you can put inplace your structure (before you buy,…[Read more]

Hi Steve,

No the IP is not on the market (as yet)! He is planning on holding it for another couple of months (FMG is ramping up construction in our area) and then sell it for a higher price again.

Interesting ….. it is a country location, if that helps but we do have a valuer that services this town. Like I said originally, it is a new thing…[Read more]

Sweet,
try doing a search on the forum! This topic has been covered and re-covered more than once or twice.

That would be easier than relisting all the valuable books every-one has read.

Hi Selling,

I’d hesitate to sign an openended contract no matter what the deposit. As you’ve already mentioned you could be waiting for a very long time!
That would have to be #1 on your list to be changed.

Second, the deposite size really is up to you – what are you comfortable with? Just remember, screwing a developer over (and…[Read more]

Hi Redwing,

I have no actual proof – just the surprised word of my friend.

He bought his IP two yrs ago and wanted to take advantage of the recent boom to buy a PPOR for himself and his new bride-2-b.

Our valuation came in at $220K, but in talking to one of the local REAs it was suggested that I could get up to $320K (OK, the garden wasn’t…[Read more]

Hi meak,

all I have come accross is that the roof of the shed MUST tilt into the owners yard (ie: that is the rain water will run into their yard NOT yours!).

Once you’ve got no objections – visual obstructions, etc and you are happy to go along with the neighbour and the council approves it, I guess you could approach them to change out the…[Read more]

Not that I like the inflamatory language of sydneysmart, I recall receiving this great little snippet in an email.

Thanx for that Fern,

I have actually seen this done, but as I haven’t had a great deal of time (wot with our reno and work contracts) I haven’t spent a whole lot of time on the Bonsai that I have. I have a sad looking pine tree and a stunted Pointsianna (local name – red flower) that refuses to die, no matter what I do to it. Killed two Ficus,…[Read more]
