Hi,
We have purchased our forever home which sits on 21 acres and are subdividing off 3.5 acres. My previous accountant told me that all I needed was a real estate agent’s appraisal of the value of each proposed block comparable to the purchase price for the declaration of profit. My new accountant initially advised to get a full valuation done…[Read more]

Hi Steve!
Thank you for taking the time to write a reply :) I actually thought as much, but wanted to throw it out there just in case someone had a ‘creative’ work around!
It still stacks up for us even with having to pay full weight on SD due to what we plan on doing with it… but it would be nice if we could keep that extra $20k – $50k in…[Read more]

Hi,
We have found our dream property which isn’t on the market but the owner is potentially looking to sell. It’s a large 10+ Ha block with two lots and two titles which will be sold in one line. To be able to afford to do, what we want to do, we’ll have to sell the smaller lot and do a simultaneous settlement. We’re talking $2.5m – $3m purchase…[Read more]

Hi, I’d prefer pick up at this stage as we’re packing to move, but if it doesn’t go, I’ll see what it would cost to post for you. Cheers.

KIZ replied to the topic Buying Unit in Group of 4 in the forum Hi Budgy,
I was at Melbourne 16 years, 8 months ago
Hi Budgy,I was at Melbourne too, it was a great weekend wasn't it! To answer your question, you can do quick reno's in an apartment block if the numbers add up but there are a couple of things you need to be mindful of….You need to check your strata bi-laws and make sure you renovate within them. For example, some units don't allow top floor…[Read more]

Anrobel, i recently discussed this with my broker and he said as long as you have a 2nd property to secure the LOC against then it isn't a problem. Haven't had first hand experience myself though so i'm not 100% sure of the finer details. Definately worth a shot though
KIZ replied to the topic How to flip a property in the forum Creative Investing 16 years, 9 months ago
What an AMAZING opportunity! Have you considered signing contracts yourselves at the 600k asking price and then onselling it for 800k within the settlement period? Have the 2 settlement days on the SAME date and you effectively have a "NOTHING DOWN DEAL". If you are concerned at all about the 'buyer' committing, give yourselves an OUT clause in…[Read more]

Hi again! James007 i'm in Sydney and use laws auctions at whetherill park for my tiles and vanities. Ebay has been great lately too for shower screens and fittings. $10,000 is not a HUGE amount for a bathroom but you can definately do it cheaper. Plumbing was my biggest cost on the 2nd job as i had to move a lot of the pipework. Nami is correct,…[Read more]
