Its not hard really changing over accountant, your old accountant will generally provide all previous tax returns, financials, trust deeds etc to new accountant, pretty basic really.
Cost wise some will just charge an hourly rate, others will have some sort of fixed rate (e.g. $150 for a basic personal ITR, +$50 for rental properties etc etc. )
Hi Emma,
I have a settlement agent, mortgage broker and electrician to recommend, but I cant seem to PM you? Would love to see the list. Im also looking for a building inspector in Perth if anyone knows of any good ones?
Bang on, sounds good
I did the same thing when I got my patio built, called them and said I would like to go with your company, but I have been quoted this price from this company, I asked them can you match the price of this company, if so I am happy to sign the paperwork today. They ended up coming down to within a $150 of the cheaper price I had, as they had a good reputation and were easy to deal with I went with them and scored about $1000 of the original quote price. Just talk to them and most of the time they will be happy to help to get the business.
I really wanted to come along to this but will be in Melbourne! Going to have to be next time..
Looks like a great wedding, have voted for you Emma!
Go to Darwin to see the crocs, they have the jumping crocs up there, they take you out on a double storey boat and they hang meat off the top story for the crocs and they jump out and grab it! Awesome sight!
Mate im in the same boat as you, im in Perth also. My ideas so far are to look in the suburbs that may be getting rezoned soon; Koondoola, Girrawheen, Balga, Mirrabooka to a lesser extent Ballajura etc that have decent sized lots for subdivision potential. I know some of those suburbs people think are a bit crappy, but 20 mins to the city once our population grows a bit I think they will do well! Otherwise im looking for some inner city suburbs that have some older houses that could be reno'd and moved on later, Joondanna is one im keen on.
Im going in on some investments with my mum, trying to find some cash flow neutral/positive properties, one maybe to be reno'd (luckily for me all my mates are tradies and have access to mates rates painters, sparkies, plumbers and even a surveyor and settlement agent) and one for future subdivision (keep house on the front and sell land/build at the back).
My starting points are;
Seeing Mortgage Broker (friend from old work) to work out what funds we have available to us
Discuss what we are looking for for each property – cash flow/equity gains/sub division potential etc
More research to see whats available and weigh up each optionIm also researching QLD – Brissy – Goldcoast area and possibly the US.
I know what you mean though its a bit of information overload, just got to go one step at a time and do as much research as possible!
