Hi Elka
Yes I hope I am able to get a response from the Legal/Tax/Accounting people to this vexing question, as I don’t yet have my own accountant.

That is a great response from Karl.
I was thinking about doing exactly the same thing as you. However on rethinking it through I have decided that I have public liability insurance which should cover any problems encountered in the IP in terms of protecting me. So am leaving it in my own name. But in future would consider using a Trust for…[Read more]

If you have very little experience in property, I can see no problem with using a buyers advocate to help you get started with your investing.

Look in the yellow pages. Search some web sites. Once you find someone, ask for references from others who have used them.
Best of Luck

Hi Steve & Dave
I am sorry to hear about the end of your joint business relationship. However as we all learn and grow in business and in life, we find we need to move on to fulfill new aspirations.

I have to tell you guys, that I had spent many years with a negative opinion about investing, before I started to educate myself in real estate…[Read more]

Yes agree Nats12. I am in need of some tradespeople for my place in mitcham and would be interested in hearing about the list.
I need a carpenter, plasterer, & tiler.
I will be putting in a wooden deck, and fixing plaster, updating cupboards, & retiling inside. So would be grateful for any information on good tradespeople in the Mitcham,…[Read more]

Why don’t you try Steve’s Masterclass. Its an excellent course for a beginner. I don’t think any course is worth the money that you are talking about.

Read some real estate/property books to get some grounding in the subject as well

good luck[angel]

Thankyou very much for you replies

Can anyone assist me please??? I really don’t know the answer! New at this game.

Thanks so much for your opinions and clearing up this area for me.

I have paid for the Rates and any other service charges on the Rates Account. But this is a Bill from the Water Authority for usage and it has the extra service charges on it. I thought they were different to what is on the actual annual rates notice.

So from what you are saying I have to pay everything on the annual Rates Bill, and everything…[Read more]

Thanks again. Some great replies

Have just found this notice in the Age. Please take a look. Its about spam email from a couple of banks. Mine was from Westpac and the notice is about the National and others. The notice advises that if you have gone to any sites like these duds, then to change your password on your Real Bank Site…[Read more]

HI
I have tried emailing the person that is supposed to be running this group a couple of times and have yet to get a response on where the group meets, dates and times.
Maybe they don’t want more people to attend.

Cheers

I am not getting responses to my emails or my postings about where this group meets. So don’t expect an early reply.

cheers

Searching & Editing
I would like to see a search function for the sub sections. If you have one now I obviously don’t use it, but I would if it was within a forum, as I don’t want to lose my place in the sub forum while searching all forums. Goodness can you understand that?? Also please leave the edit function for new posts. I have had to use…[Read more]

Thanks Mortgage Advisor.

Can you believe I have been reading about this for a couple of years in preparation for the first purchase.

And here I am during the first purchase having freak outs about different aspects of what I have to sign and give to the different parties. Nothing like going through the experience of it. Although I am still…[Read more]

Can you put the time and place on here as I would have liked to come to the last meeting in Hawthorn. My email was unanswered, so if you advertise it here I could keep an eye on it.

thanks

Thanks everyone.
I am staggered by some of the wordings on these bank forms. To The Mortgage Advisor – how would using a broker help me any?? I still have to sign these forms don’t I???
