Hi guys im not saying karratha is a bad option for investing. My concerns for investing in that town at the moment is.

Hi john i was talking about long term like the eco tourism etc. If you had read the above attachment you put in on woodside it states that projest is only going to last 4 months.

Its a property trust. Does it mean the tax is already taken out of it before they pay it monthly etc. What do you think of property trusts and what are the risks involved.

Hi have checked this already with ATO rules and other active investors. It is one day. You can manage to do this only a couple of times ie you dont like neighbourhood,bad design on the kitchen, unhappy in general with end result. Your PPOR is specific if it is your only house. The rules become more diverse if say you have a holiday house.
