Hi Truska

Did you guys buy these as a business or company or anything?

If you bought as individuals I would guess that whoever buys the letterbox claims the deduction (if it was maintenance and not an improvement).

No doubt someone else can give you an exact answer.

I couldn’t get the game Matt [] I got the last one you posted but this one just came out in some kind of code. Any suggestions? I hate to miss something as important as this. []

Hi Bec
Are you really financially supporting your boyfriend? Unless he’s caring for your kids, I’d change that arrangement. Plenty of other good ideas have been mentioned in these replies.
Good luck

Hi Raymondo
I think you’ll find that it can be +ve even disregarding the “book losses”.

Maybe someone can clarify that for us?

Hi Bert
I had a carpenter friend do the building and pest inspection for me recently. There’s no recourse if he missed something but it’s a brick building and I was pretty confident I didn’t need to pay someone for a written inspection. I did the conveyancing myself. So no solicitors fees. There’s a conveyancing kit you can get from the…[Read more]

If you still haven’t got an answer, try rewording your initial post.

Hi Celivia
It’s not unusual to have cracks that are not structural. It can happen as the building “settles” soon after it is built. They can be very easy to repair as well and the improvement in the appearance can be dramatic. If it looks like a good property in other regards, it could be well worth getting an inspection.

If you’re really…[Read more]

Either or. If you make an offer in writing, you may include the conditions but it’s also usual to agree on the price first and then don’t sign the contract until you make sure all your conditions and dates are written in.

Hi Trisk
“O to 130 properties in 3.5 years” is Steve’s book. You can order it through this site or get it at a bookshop. Very informative and a good place to start. Do a search of the forum boards for some other recommended books. I think there’s a booklist somewhere.

Don’t hesitate to ask questions on this forum.

Hi Bec
With the incentive you’ve got (ie, hating work), I’d say you’re being conservative by planning to retire by 30. You can do anything.

PS: what’s a “lemming”?

Gee, sounds good doesn’t it? I’d definitely want to know where bogabilla is. The owner wants to rent it back at $130 pw and is selling for 48k? To me, that sets off some alarm bells. How many reasons can you think of for that to happen? Let us know what you find out.

Good point Marc

But what if you need money to live, and what if what you enjoy doing doesn’t pay money? For me, retirement will be from having to actively make money.

Hi Trisk

“I look forward to reading the obviously informative discussions on this site and last but not least, for $99 Steve’s buyer beware looks like a great tool and cheaper than some others i have seen, how many people use it?”

I recently bought buyer beware and my intitial reaction was one of disappointment. The templates in particular were…[Read more]

Hi Phillip
Too many variables. I agree with what’s been said so far. I would stay away from anything with a strata title unless you’re buying the lot. In my experience, duplexes can often show a better return than houses and can have similar potential for CG. I suppose waterfront is always good as long as you’re not paying inflated prices for…[Read more]

Hey Sis

I see what you mean. I guess the challenge is to learn to remain unaffected by his attitude/actions. My first boss was a bit similar to yours. He used to not only stand by and watch me work, but also drink a stubbie while doing so!

Take it easy
Judi

Wow Mel
You certainly know how to get the most out of every experience. Can you zap me some of your positivity? []

Good onya [^]

Hey Sis
Why wait till retirement to tell your boss off and quit? I’ve done it lots of times [:p]

OK, not lots but once or twice. Don’t you guys think it’s important to be happy in your job?

Judi

Steve?
