Hi Mark,

I use deppro & I’m happy with their service– http://www.deppro.com
The reports cost approx $400 (from memory)

I agree with Terry, do it as soon as you purchase the property & defiantly still do it with older houses. I’d always have a schedule done – it makes claiming depreciation easier.

Agree Steve,

But here’s another point of view…….

Abundance is everybody’s due, is it not?

Abundance to our ancestors & tribal people meant having plentiful food & shelter – with out want.
Abundance to our animal kingdom means the same. The universe provides food for animals (in…[Read more]

Howdy,

My all-time fave quote would have to be:-

All great opportunities are at first brilliantly disguised as insolvable problems

Some others faves:-

What is normal?
Normal is average,
Average is boring,
Boredom drives me crazy,
Insanity is here.

Agree Redwing,

And while we are there we can purchase ourselves a cheap little 3×1 and repeat the process every year!!!!

Hi Damien,

Just a quick word of advice…. I know we as ‘draftees’ (I’m actually a drafting manager now though) use cap’s lock when drawing plans, but when posting to forums, sending e-mails etc. others view writing in capitals as ‘shouting’ or being angry!! I found this out the hard way – some people I was dealing with became very upset with me o…[Read more]

Hi Casey,

I looked at quite a few software packages before finally deciding on POSH. I’ve found it to be quite good but it does have a few limitations that are annoying, however all ‘off the shelf’ packages always don’t do something you would like them to do. I would prefer that all of my records were kept in excel & I’ve started to produce s…[Read more]

Hi Kim,

Here in WA you can get a copy of a book called the Landlords Handbook from a few select newsagencies or from the Dept. of Consumer & Employment Protection. It costs approx $10 & outlines the rights & responsibilities of both parties, including things like how to serve breach notices, rental applications for prospective tenants, property…[Read more]

Ahhh! It seems my attention to detail was also very poor! [][][]
I’ll have to eat ‘humble pie’ and apologise to all for being a smart-a*s!!

I’m a goose, and I’m sorry!! – I’ll get back in my box now![][][]

Guys,

Now everybody is just getting upset!!! There is a ‘little trick’ to Dino’s & my ‘high score’ so, everybody who got under 70, please go back to the site again and try this………..

Don’t go madly clicking around the screen in a desperate attempt to click on as many circles as you possibly can, rather click on the start button then an quickly a…[Read more]

Hi Broons,

In addition to the previous posts you could also consider;-

A r/e agent once told me that when a seller advertises within a price range the seller is hoping to achieve at least 75% of the difference between the low & the high price added to the low price. I don’t know for sure whether this is the absolute truth, but it does sound f…[Read more]

Geez Dino,

You’ve raised the bar mate![] I’m going to have to lift my game. Still, 74 was my first try – so you only beat me by one point there. I’m going to have another shot from my laptop a bit later and see how I go from there. I’ll get my trip to the Caribbean – if it kills me!!!

Keep you posted………..[]

Cheers
Kym

Well Bill,

I’m proud to say I got a ‘record breaking’ 74!![]

We’ll see how everybody else does.[]

Prize – a trip for two to the Caribbean would still be nice!! (just to clarify – two people, meaning myself & one of my ‘party animal’ mates!![}]

G’nite

Hi Bill,

What is the highest score that you’ve recorded?

Is there a prize?

Cheers
Kym

Hi Bill,

Alf’s first post did prompt my thinking, so if anyone’s going to the Caribbean, it should be myself & Alf? Right? Let us know where we collect the tickets![][:0)]

Cheers
