    Maybe he is a SLOW learner and it takes more than once to explain and grasp the concept of structuring for Property investing ??

    Hi Mike

    Thanks for your help with the report. I put in an offer in that location on Sat 9/6/12 and the offer was accepted by the Vendor. Right now,  am having an anxious wait for the Contract of Sale to be ready before we can sign.

    Thought I compare my layman research and estimates against what professional research firms like Residex have identified as current value for my, hopefully soon to be, first IP.

    Many Many Many Thanks

    Hi Skippyz

    You mention that you and the misses refinanced home loans from St George LOC package to a 100% offsett account.
    The question I would like to ask is
    For your every day expenses do you use a credit card ?
    When I mean by everyday expenses, your bills, shopping, petrol etc !!!!!!!!
    The reason why I am asking is, Deb and I have a St George LOC package at the moment and we are looking to refinance to a 100% offset account type home loan which I think is the better loan of the 2.
    We dont seem to be making much headway into this loan at all with this LOC St George home loan.
    We have had this loan for about 7 years and it seems like we are chasing our tails all the time.
    Im not sure if its the right type of loan for us at all.
    Thanks and cheers

    Hey Terryw,
    I have no idea what NM is talking about.
    That is mumbo jumbo to me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Please explain

    All I know is I have a LOC St George home loan
    WE have had the loan for about 6 years and not much inroads into the loan
    Which is the better loan to have the 100% offset or the LOC for investment purposes
    Thanks again

    Hey DHCP,
    Thanks for the reply,
    I am confused about the actual questions for research that everyone refers to.
    I have got those 20 Questions that Margaret Lomas uses in her book.
    Is that the type of questions for researching property that you people refer to as due diligence.
    Thanks karlm

    Hi Cookie Monster,

    Well, assuming the depreciation relates to the investment property, then the expense is connected to the receipt of rental income – so the accountant has it right – it definitely goes with all the other expenses relating to the property.

    Where else do you think the depreciation would go?

    Would you like me to tell you exactly what labels the capital works and capital allowances deductions go under on the rental property schedule?

    If you pay peanuts you get monkeys – what if you pay cookies?  I will check your return for cookies if you like.  I am serious.

    Good luck
