duckster replied to the topic Tenants to clean gutters? in the forum General Property 12 years ago
Sorry I have got gutter guard and so far have had to get the dust and dirt that accumulates cleaned out of the gutters plus the grass growing in the dust. Gutters could also rust if not cleaned out increasing future repair costs. I pay someone via the property manager.

duckster replied to the topic Townhouse costs m2- SE Melbourne in the forum General Property 12 years ago
Yes –
Call a few local builders and ask for a cost estimation on what it costs to build a townhouse. Do not ask for a quote as builders are busy people just ask for a ball park figure for feasibility for a development project
(the helpfulness of the builder may help decide who you may use for the project)
Also drive / look around the suburb and…[Read more]duckster replied to the topic I cant operate my business as the real estate won’t make repairs in the forum Commercial Property 12 years, 1 month ago
Wonder if a chat to your solicitor about the possibility of claiming financial loss to your business due to the switch not being fixed by the date promised would be worth checking out. Maybe getting the date for fixing it in writing from the real estate agent.

duckster replied to the topic Domain Name in the forum Help Needed! 12 years, 1 month ago
There are most likely legal reasons that the domain name was pulled. Maybe the company that has a trademark on that name had their lawyers contact the main domain company and threatened legal action.
If this is the cause then circumstances beyond the domain name providers control have occurred and the only course of action would be to get your…[Read more]

duckster replied to the topic Does saving work for you? in the forum Opinionated! 12 years, 3 months ago
Savings are treated unfairly. You put the money in the bank and get 5% then the ATO says you must pay tax on it when in reality the CPI at 3% has eroded the value of the savings down to 2% but you are paying tax on 5%.
I was a good saver when I was a kid but when the banks started paying less than 1% interest I stopped saving money with them and…[Read more]duckster replied to the topic Tax on quick reno and sell in the forum Help Needed! 12 years, 3 months ago

Question 1:
I understand what happens when changing PPoR to IP. You agree on value, you do not pay tax, you keep equity to that value but you do not enjoy tax advantages because of low construction cost etc..
But changing IP to PPoR is not as straight forward. Say you buy IP for 400k and in 10years it is 800k and than you decide to change it into…[Read more]duckster replied to the topic Water Usage – Getting Tenants to Pay in the forum General Property 12 years, 3 months ago

(with no explanation as we are not allowed to say due to carbon tax rather due to the suppliers of services used to provide accommodation have increased charges to the Landlord which have to be passed on to the end user)
