    thanks Duckster – would that be claimable? Assuming it would? Could the valuation be used by the bank for the refinancing.

    Your not a charity and sounss like she is using the situation to her advantage and Centrelink – not yours. Are you happy with all other aspects: paying on time, keeping the peroperty well maintained?

    We manage our own IP (only one) it is 3 hours away. In victoria you can get a landlord pack from consumer affairs (no cost) which has bond lodgement and contracts etc. Our tenant pays directly into our nominated account. We have made some concessions in that she pays rent fortnightly (works out better for us), she pays slightly below market rent. In turn she has the gardens professionally maintained. We have lodged a set of keys with the local locksmith – so far, so good

    Thanks Paul – really appreciate your time and the suggestion of contacting the Strata Title committee Manager, wouldn't have thought of that. All the units look individually owned. Would the Strata Title Committee Manager be c/- of the complex? I definately will let you know if anything evenuates. Cheers

    Is the property suitable for being set up as short term, or holiday furnished accommodation?

    One other point I forgot to mention is that we have lodged a spare set of keys with the local locksmith.

    We privately rent. It has been working out fine – tenant pays straight into our bank account. We charge slightly below market rent (as we don't pay fees). She appreciates this and has used this money towards a gardener, fantastic for us as the property is very well kept and presentable.
    The property is a 3hour drive away.
    So far – so good for us.
    Edited to say – she pays fortnightly by direct debit, which we agreed to as she gets paid fortnightly (better for us)
    Cheers

    It may have something to do with potential liabillity, seeing how it is a deceased estate? Maree

    Hi Richard, just to hijack the post. We lived in our property for 12 months then moved towns and now it is our investment property. Can we claim "any costs associated with the mortgage establishment, conveyancing and mortgage stamp duty etc " for the FY just past? Regards, Maree

    Hi, I am noooo expert on rent to buy – but it maybe a way to bring your property up to positive rather than negative.

    Essentially, you can offer rent to buy to your existing tenant or advertise for one. The tenant pays above market rent to ensure their option to buy the property at x date in the future at a predetermined value. In addition to paying a higher rent an extra amount is also paid to start building up their deposit for the proposed settlement date. I believe rates and insurance is still the owners responsibility but all other expenses are borne by the occupant.

    The occupant will start to improve the property and in turn this coupled with normal inflation will increase the property's worth.

    Regards,
    Maree
