the only way icould start was to x collateralise or pay a fortune in LMI which i didnt have.now i have equity i have found it sometimes time consuming but have uncrossed,had i listened to the doomsdayers i would have done nothing and not had 5 IPs under management.

is that a legalpoint or a personal opinion.again why isnt the conveyancer putting up their hand and saying oops

i think your conveyancer has to be held accountable.after all isnt this why we pay them.they should have pofessional liability insurance.as you say if it was spelt out in black and white in the section 32 it should have been picked up.if you do pay i would ask for a partial refund on the conveyancing fee.sounds fair to me

i agree with terry you should apply for a private ruling.if you take out a line of credit against the ip then use the rent to pay off your ppor and let the ip interest capitalise i wonder how the ato would view it. i believe they will ask you do you own your ppor ,if no do you intend using the ip rent to help pay off your ppor  and let the ip in…[Read more]

did the agent act in the best interests of the vendor by getting the highest /best price.i dont think so .i only put real estate agents one step above politicians and used car salesmen.his commission on that extra $1100 WAS SAY 3% or $33 meaning the vendor was $1067 which could have paid conveyancing.put a flyer in peoples letter boxes asking if…[Read more]
