    what if I don’t have all my receipts…my filling system is not the best and I have stuff everywhere relating to my IP. Is there stuff you can claim for where you don’t need to provide a receipts like a set amount and you can’t go higher than that unless you have receipts…..??

    Thanks

    Hi Blondie

    I bought my first IP and I got the FHOG but only lived in the place for about 5 Months, just make sure you have bills going there and you change your license and electoral roll and you should be right.

    Well you won’t be getting heaps of capital gains on the place. There might also be a pool fund and you don’t have 100% control of the place. I heard that if you want to be in total control of your investments don’t go for the retirement village idea….just my 2 cents

    Hi I have learned through my experience’s that if you don’t succeed with the banks or with a broker move on and try the next one till you are happy. I have found a really good one and he is helping me heaps :-)
    Good luck with it

    Well nothing will be coming in from the property until it’s renovated and that will take prob all year for me to do…do a bit every weekend. But I guess we will need to find out and sit down and talk to see if this will be a quick buy and fix up or buy and hold deal. Anyway….this storm we had in Brisbane was just crazy 10 Min ago…trees on road crazy

    Hi SIS…well dad’s got enough cash to pay for the place cash…so we can have a quick settlement and maybe get the place for a lot cheaper….that’s the plan anyway. Then I will move into the place as my house doing the renos etc then renting it out after a year or maybe sell the place for a good profit. I think we will prob want the house in both our names but he will need more control coz he will be putting in all the money and I will just transfer the money I am putting into the deal into his account. So there won’t be any loans or anything like that. I am just thinking from the legal side and ownership side of things….how to structure the deal with him.

    Okay cool thanks SIS….does this means that we have to create a trust or not? or is all this stuff just things you fill out on the bank forms?
