Thanks to their Gold Coast Director who is now calling himself a property investment educator????? but wait he has also spent $32,000 on education and personal development…..I feel so safe now that he has spent all that money on education (sarcasm)… funny…[Read more]

I admire changing your career and having a go at something you feel passionate about… its a little concerning that you are after feedback since you are technically a 'professional'?

Thanks everyone for the info…helps her out alot. She is able to breath a bit easier knowing she wont pay huge amounts for CGT. Unfortunately she still wont think about holding onto the property which is in a growing area of the Gold Coast and has a large block size…Once again thanks all for the advice.

In September of this year my friend bought her sister's share of $200 000 meaning she has a loan of $200K on a property worth $400K. It is currently being rented out. My understanding of tax…[Read more]

I know due to her work they are able to get $10k-$20k every few weeks and would love to invest this…maybe on cheaper properties? its a thought but hoping for more imput…to those…[Read more]
